Hello! My name is Amber. I have my teaching license in English and Japanese for grades Kindergarten through high school. I also hold a Master’s in Second Language Education from the University of Minnesota. I love learning about other language and cultures, and I really love helping students communicate in English! I also love to travel, read books, and drink coffee. はじめまして！ブネル・アンバーと申します。日本で3年間英語を教えていて、日本語も話せます。ミネソタ大学院で第二言語習得を勉強しました。日本語と英語の教員免許も持っています。外国語や文化を学ぶのが大好きで、英語でコミュニケーションをとれるように生徒に手伝うのが好きです。 Instagram: ambersensei.mima

Me as a Teacher

I currently work as a freelance instructor in Japan. Before, I taught English as a Second Language (ESL) at an elementary school in the U.S. I received my Master's in Second Language Education from the University of Minnesota, and taught English for three years in Tokushima, Japan, before that. I have worked with students between the ages of 5 and 90. I truly love teaching! 英語教室で幼児から大人まで教えています。ミネソタ大学院で第二言語習得を勉強しました。大学院に入る前、3年間日本の徳島県で英語を教えていました。大学生の時、ミネソタ州で日本語と英語の会話サークルをつくって、大阪学院大学でも英語を教えました。5歳から90歳の生徒に教えたことがあります。教えるのが本当に大好きです！

My lessons & teaching style

Because language is used for communication, I believe that all lessons should teach us something about how to actually communicate. I also believe that making mistakes is an important part of learning, and not something to fear. My teaching style is very warm and friendly, but I also challenge students to improve their language every day. 英語学習では誰かとコミュニケーションをとることが上達の近道だと思います。間違えることを恐れずに、たくさん話しましょう！あなたの英語学習のサポートができたらうれしいです。 I have a lot of experience teaching English conversation, English grammar and vocabulary, and helping students prepare for specific tests such as the TOEIC or Eiken. Whatever your English goals are, I can help you!

She is a great teacher. She can go into great detail about grammar. And she prepares lessons for me ahead of time. She is very professional teacher.
