Hi there! 👋 I'm Megan, an American English speaker from Minnesota in the United States. ❄️
I live in Japan and have been teaching English here for about six years.🕺I really enjoy teaching and have a Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
I think English is a tool that can help us share our cultures with the world. 💪 Since we all have different cultures, we all use English in different ways. English can take different forms, so I'm here to help improve and strengthen your own English. 🙌
When I'm not teaching, I love to travel and try new foods. I also enjoy singing karaoke. 🎶

Me as a Teacher
I am a supportive, patient and friendly teacher.😊
I hope to provide you with time to feel more comfortable using English. I also want to help you reach your English goals!🎉
While I am your teacher, I’m also excited to also learn your perspectives, interests, and ideas.🤩Your thoughts make our lessons very interesting. I'm really excited to talk to you and learn from you!
I believe in the beginning of learning a new language, using your native language (L1) is a valuable tool. I encourage beginners to use your L1 until you can understand by yourself (no translator needed).
🔴For this reason, I don't teach beginner-level children. I welcome beginner-level adults, but I only speak English.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are customized to your needs.🌈
Staying motivated is important for learning a language. For kids, feeling comfortable with me is key to keeping them interested.🌸
I teach in a relaxed and supportive way, but I want you to do your best. In structured lessons, I will carefully provide corrections for your English. ✍️
In conversations, I love the natural flow of talking. Usually, I don’t correct small mistakes unless it really changes the meaning.🙆♀️I think the way our native language influences us is great. It helps to share our cultures to the world.🫶
I'm flexible, so please tell me if we need to change anything. We'll work together to make sure you reach your goals!💪

Megan is a very kind, caring and intelligent teacher. She creates a very welcoming, fun, relaxed and safe environment for you to talk about anything and everything. Lessons with her flow in a way that you can't even see the time pass. I always feel very confident and excited after Megan's lessons.

I felt that the teacher was friendly and the class was fun because I thought that it was more like talking rather than studying while making the class fun and listening to the students.
