About Me
italki teacher since Feb 24, 2020InterestsMusicTravelGaming
I love learning languages and making music! I received my Bachelor's in Music Composition and a Master's in English Language Teaching. I'm excited to meet new people from around the world to talk with so we can learn from each other. I was raised in America and lived abroad in Tokyo and London.
Attendance Policy: If you are more than 15 minutes late without messaging me, the lesson will be canceled and you will not receive a refund.
僕は言語と音楽が好きです！カリフォルニア州の技術大学で作曲を勉強しました。イギリスの大学院では、（外国人に向けた）英語の教授法も習得しています。国立音楽大学で一年間に留学して以来、日本語を独学で学び続け、今では、日常会話はもちろん、専門的なことも理解できます。みなさんと会話をするのが楽しみです！Me as a Teacher
My job as a teacher is to help you improve! Whether you want to work on your speaking, writing, listening, reading, or just having a good chat I'm here for you! Learning a language shouldn't be boring. I believe in making the classroom an engaging environment where YOU get the maximum amount of practice. That is the best way to learn. Let's work together!
I have taught university students in Tokyo, adults of all ages and backgrounds, and kids!
I can also teach you specific things about music! If you're interested in learning music vocabulary in English, just let me know!My lessons & teaching style

I had a very productive session - we talked a lot about animes and shows, in natural expression, and distinguished subtle differences of similar words. Finally, I got a substantial Google doc to review after the class.
