About Me
italki teacher since Feb 19, 2014
I've spent most of my life in the US, but I did live in Sapporo, Japan for 3 years and taught English at some English conversation schools there. I returned to the US in 2017 and have continued English tutoring online. I also continue studying Japanese as much as I can. Some of my interests include yoga, walking, travel, coffee, cooking, and learning new things. I played the flute for many years during my student days, so I'm familiar with music theory terminology.
Me as a Teacher
I think I would be a suitable tutor for independent intermediate and advanced English learners. While we're chatting, I can type corrections and suggestions in the chat box for how to speak better. If you need me to speak slower or repeat myself, please don't hesitate to ask. Don't worry if you make a mistake or don't know how to properly express yourself. I want students to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves while practicing!
My lessons & teaching style
*Please look at the class descriptions for more details about my lessons* I prefer to gradually update my schedule to avoid lesson cancellations on my end as much as possible. I do my best to have my availability posted up to 2 weeks in advance.
I conduct primarily conversation-based tutoring sessions for independent students with their own study plan. I can correct your pronunciation and explain unclear words and phrases. We can practice reading, and I can check short documents such as e-mails and speeches for errors and clarity. Maybe you would like to practice for an upcoming oral presentation. Please let me know what you would like to do.

the teacher Aura is always in good mood no matter what and whatever could occur without warning she has the knack for making things easier for the student I got to argue that. The fact remains that she make me comfortable and on top of all allows me to have confidence in myself
