I'm a journalist for Moody institute in Chicago Illinois USA and a counsellor on depression and anxiety. Teaching English and counseling has been my occupation for the past 9 years. I decided to dedicate myself to teaching and counseling because this is my calling and vocation. I love talking with people.

I wanted to be a translator when I decided to major in Japanese studies at university. In fact, I've just finished translating a popular children's permaculture book, 「みんなのちきゅうカタログ」, which will be published in the US next spring! In order to come to Japan, I decided to become an English teacher.

I have literally been teaching something to somebody my whole life. When I was in elementary school, I tutored my older cousin every time he failed his chemistry test. In high school, I tutored my classmates in Latin, French and logic. Immediately after obtaining a master’s degree in psychology, I was offered a position of a teaching assistant at a university.

Hello! Thank you for having me, I am very excited for this interview. 
I was born and raised in Hertfordshire, England.
 Most people haven't heard of Hertfordshire, but it is very easy to find, it is directly north outside of London. I always tell people in Japan that Hertfordshire is the Saitama of London! 
I also lived outside Manchester for three years before coming to Japan.

I live in Suwon. It is about 45 minutes by car from Seoul, the capital city of Korea. You can experience the cultural heritage of the palace that kings often stayed in. An old Suwon market is also a famous place that you can visit.

My popular lessons are free talk and picture description lessons. Students can learn different expressions or words. Not only do they practice conversation, but they also can learn new words from the lesson. Some students wanted to have a class longer than 25 minutes, so I made a 50-minute customized lesson. You can mix some content from free talk and picture description lessons in this customized lesson. You can talk about anything in depth during the 50 minutes lesson. I provide feedback and recording files so that you can practice after lessons.

I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I used to play school with my younger sister. I would give her classwork on a toy board and she had to write out the answers, which I checked with a lot of pleasure! I thought it was so much fun to write on the board and check answers with a red pen. I have been teaching English for more than 15 years, most of that time in a traditional classroom.
