I love listening to old rock and prog rock, playing guitar and playing games.
Also, I'm passionate about coffee.
Recently I've been playing Zelda TotK, Apex Legends and Valorant.
My favourite manga and anime are Hunter Hunter and Naruto.
For several years, I lived in London and Dublin.
Also, I write a blog about life in the UK and Ireland and the English language.
Before living in London, I worked as a sound engineer, so I'm interested in having conversations about music and sound-related topics!
When I was a student I worked as a barista during which time I got a European barista qualification.
So I can talk about coffee too :)
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have experience in teaching languages to a wide variety of people.
I can therefore advise on how to motivate learners and their individual goals.
I like new cultures and games, so I could also teach new words such as Japanese internet slang.
I also have experience teaching English at an English school in Japan for beginners.
I continue to learn English.
Language is a living thing and constantly evolves.
I believe learning a language never ends apart from the goals that you set for yourself.
And as a learner, I understand how my students feel.
As a native Japanese speaker, I would like to help Japanese language learners as much as possible.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I think the most important thing about language learning is continuing and acquiring practical skills. Also, learn while having fun.
I focus on speaking because that skill could be the hardest to practice on your own whereas vocabulary and writing and reading are things you could study by yourself.
In my class, the atmosphere is like a relaxed coffee break.
The purpose is to bring out your true potential without tension.
I would like to provide lessons that are all about the student's purpose.
I will motivate and support you!
My favourite Japanese quote is "塵も積もれば山となる".
It means like "Rome wasn't built in a day"!
So I believe language learning is exactly little by little to growing up!
Best Japanese teacher! She’s patient, flexible, friendly, and great at coming up with topics to discuss that are appropriate for your level. I always improve! Thanks Isla Sensei, see you in class.

Isla is taking the time to help me re-learn a lot of Japanese fundamentals from the beginning. She is able to adjust the pace to my existing understanding and knowledge and I have confidence that I'll quickly be able to reach the level that I should be at. She is very kind which puts my anxiety at ease, and good at explaining in both Japanese and English (when required). We have conversations like I would with a friend. This motivates me to try harder every day to do better in the next lesson.

I like the fact that Isla sensei explains the grammar and clarifies difficult points using easy Japanese and only if you really don't get it she switches briefly to English :)

Isla sensei is a very nice and easy going teacher. She is very supportive and helps build confidence softly. I`ve moved to Japan and can say that I am glad I began and continue to learn Japanese with Isla sensei, and I think you should too.
アイラ先生はとても優しくて気さくな先生です。彼女はとても協力的で、そっと自信を築くのを助けてくれます。私は日本に引っ越しましたが、アイラ先生と一緒に日本語を学び始めて、続けられてよかったと言えます。あなたもそうすべきだと思います。
