Birdie 讲师的个人介绍
Hi there!
Looking to improve or maintain your English speaking level? Let's talk.
I have
a masters degree in Language Education and have
10+ years experience as a high school and university teacher. I've also been a private tutor and taught adults, professionals, and kids one-on-one.
My learning philosophy: language learning is a holistic process. It takes time and smart effort. Experience with real English ("real English" = for native speakers, by native speakers) is key. Fluency comes in all different sizes and shapes. It's important to know what you want to do in English, with who, and where. After that, just have fun!
I'm an
American, but I live in Tokyo now. I've lived in
Japan for 8 years. I lived in Kyoto for many years. I love travelling, and I've travelled all over Europe and the U.S.

As a language learner myself, I understand how you feel: it's hard work!
Are you an
intermediate to
advanced speaker?
You want to practice your English?
You want to
challenge yourself?
You want to keep up your English skills?
You want feedback or advice on your speaking?
Maybe I can help you.
Looking forward to meeting you. :)

(Finding great food is one of my favorite pastimes. This is a classic French Dip sandwich. Have you ever had one?)
(I'm pretty terrible at it, but I'm also crazy about snow and skiing/snowboarding! What about you? Do you do any winter sports? Feel free to tell me all about them in our lessons!)
