My competence is to support improving speaking and pronunciation to sound more natural. I am the best fit to learners who prefers more relaxed lessons with flexible lesson style (chit-chat, intensive practice, playful, etc.). I have been teaching English mainly to children for more than three years. I gradually gained Japanese teaching experience as a teaching assistant in university language courses and online private tutor. As I am also a language learner, I understand both great and tough aspects of learning experience. It's my pleasure to look for a more comfortable, fun and sustainable ways to continue learning journey together.
