Description
I am a bilingual teacher certified to teach both English and Japanese. I grew up in Los Angeles and attended both a local school and a Japanese school on weekends, so I essentially “double schooled” and became proficient in both languages.
I attended Teachers College, Columbia University and earned an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). For my thesis research, I studied speaking assessments. In 2014, I also became certified as a Japanese language teacher in Japan by passing the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test (JEES).
I currently live in Northern California and am available to teach early mornings or evenings.
In Japan, I am also a published author with 13 books on English learning. Below are the books I have published!
