🎓 Master's Degree
I have over 14 years experience teaching English, with students from kindergarten, high school, college, and adults. I am married with two kids. My interests and hobbies are jogging, cooking, carpentry, astronomy, history, and video games. Please let me know what your hobbies and interest are! It's a great way to begin learning English.
I studied Japanese so I understand the difficulty of learning a new language and use that experience to help my students learn English.Me as a Teacher

✅Readings and books to help my students learn English.
I use TESOL, IB, and Montessori educational methods to help my students learn English.
The best way to learn is to talk about what topics, hobbies and interests students' have. Their hobbies and interest can be cooking, history, astronomy, video games, Pokémon, Disney, sports, food, manga, anime etc.
By talking about what hobbies and topics students enjoy, it makes learning English fun and motivates them to want to speak.
⭐On italki, a lesson can only be canceled or rescheduled 24 hours before the lesson start time.⭐My lessons & teaching style
Classes are available for English Conversation, Business English, Test and Exam Prep, or a requested topic in English.
For teaching to young learners, I have certifications in IB International Baccalaureate in Primary Years and International Montessori Diploma for children. I have successfully taught over 1000s of young students how to read, write and speak and prep for exams. Speed Method is used to help retain learning and increase speed and familiarity with English conversation.
Children Lessons are focused on the basics of Introductions in English, ABCs, Phonics, Pronunciation, Writing, and Basic Conversation. Lessons are based on the needs of the students' or parents' request.My teaching material

Thank you Mel！ I'm very lucky finding a good teacher like you！My son finally starts to enjoy English chlasses instead of feeling annoyed and anxious about learning English.
Mel 先生は話すのが苦手な子を教えるのがとても上手です。うちの子は英語のレッスンが嫌いだったが、Mel 先生のおかげで楽しめるようになりました。

아이가 정말 많이 좋아했습니다. 선생님이 너무 친절하고 본인이 좋아하는 주제(게임)으로 이야기를 잘 받아주셔서 계속 선생님과 만나고 싶다 했습니다.
