About Me
italki teacher since Mar 19, 2021Me as a Teacher
I currently teach English to students from Japan and all over the world at a Japanese university. I teach critical thinking skills, reading strategies, the writing process, and presentation skills. In addition, I've taught Japanese City Hall employees and other working adults and international students studying in New York. I also briefly taught K-8 in the U.S. and Japan. My lessons & teaching style
I provide engaging and individualized lessons that cover conversation skills, one-on-one help with assignments, and a balanced focus on reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I always come prepared with a plan, but I am also prepared to adapt it to fit the needs and/or interests of each student.My teaching material

I took her trial class. At first, I was confused about what to talk for 30 mimutes, but she pulls me out so that I can speak well. It was kind of fun. Her pronunciation is clear American English. I realy like her teacing style. Next time I will apply for regular class.
