"If you don't use it, you won't learn it!"

 
[About me]
Hi, I'm Light, and I am a Japanese raised overseas. Nice to meet you all :) 

I was born in Japan, but I grew up in many different countries including the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Vanuatu, and New Zealand. So I sound native in English as well as Japanese.
I have spent the past 12 years in NZ, and I have a "Kiwi accent" according to some people.
While living in NZ, nursing was my main job, along with working as a freelance translator and online English teacher.

I love to sing, and I also love playing the bass.
Some of my other hobbies include: Baking, Crafts, Playing with my pets, Hanging out with my friends.

[As a tutor...]
I have been teaching in an English Conversation Class as a volunteer for more than 5 years.
In addition, I was heavily involved with international students and Japanese working holiday people, helping them with their grammar, pronunciations, and expressions.

[Lesson Styles] 　　　　　　
"Very Beginners are welcome too!"

The most common question I get asked is "How can I improve my English?" (Not surprisingly...)
The answer is simple! "By Using English!"

So often, people don't use English because they are worried about making mistakes. They are missing out on their opportunities to improve their English.
From what I have been seeing, the ones who improve the most, are ones who "just talk anyway".
It's ok to get it wrong. You just need to correct it.
You won't improve if you don't talk.

It is the same for children. When they learn to speak, even their native language, they learn from "Listening, and speaking what they hear".
So let's get started! Get speaking!

During my classes, I will be encouraging you to speak what you know. And I will give you feedback regarding grammar, pronunciations and more natural ways of saying your sentences.

Those who don't know English at all, but would like to learn are welcome as well!
Let's learn together in a style that suits you.

====================<Mother-friendly tutor>=========================

As a mother having a young child myself, I understand that mum's days are always full of unexpectedness.

So here's how it works:
You're welcome to leave during the lesson, have your child with you, have background kids noise etc etc. I am totally happy with this.
If you need to cancel your lesson close to the scheduled time, feel free to let me know the reason later. I may be able to send you a discount coupon to use for another day.

Likewise, please understand if I may need to cancel the lesson or leave halfway through the lesson. I will do my best to not make this happen, but if it does, I'm sorry. I will send you a coupon later to make up for it.

So let's enjoy talking with each other without worrying about kids-related surprises (^_−)−☆

================================================================

<It would be very much appreciated if you could send me a brief introduction of yourself when you request a lesson for the first time.>
