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 Apex Legends and Marvel Rivals. 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 :)

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。

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 always enjoy my lessons with Isla because she makes me feel so at ease speaking in Japanese - I'm not afraid of making mistakes! She is also great at allowing the conversations and lessons to be guided where I would like to take them and is always open to what I suggest, whether that be reviewing a piece of writing I've done, answering my grammar questions or learning important phrases for travel. I look forward to many more lessons with Isla! :)
