(EN) *This is a mass message to all of my students* Hello! I just wanted to advise everyone that my schedule will look different from December 6th to January 6th as I will be spending time with family in Brazil. I will have limited availability the first few weeks, and then none at all closer to Christmas and New Year. My apologies if this temporary change doesn't fit your schedule. My availability will return to normal upon my return to the US. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for booking lessons with me. I've only been teaching on this platform for 5 weeks now and I've never felt more fulfilled in my life. I've sincerely enjoyed working with each and every one of you. Happy New Year to all, and thank you for your understanding! (PT) *Mensagem para todos os meus alunos* Olá! Gostaria de avisar a todos que minha agenda estará diferente de 6 de dezembro a 6 de janeiro, pois estarei passando um tempo com minha família no Brasil. Terei disponibilidade limitada nas primeiras semanas e nenhuma disponibilidade perto do Natal e Ano Novo. Peço desculpas se essa mudança temporária não se encaixar na sua agenda. Minha disponibilidade voltará ao normal assim que eu retornar aos EUA. Agradeço de coração a todos por agendarem aulas comigo. Estou ensinando nesta plataforma há apenas 5 semanas e nunca me senti tão realizada. Tenho gostado muito de trabalhar com cada um de vocês. Feliz Ano Novo a todos e obrigado pela compreensão!

If you're wanting to improve your spoken English pronunciation skills and learn how to speak like a native English speaker from the United States let me know! I use educational materials during my pronunciation (phonetics) lessons. I find out what letter sounds you can't pronounce then give you the education/tools to improve your sounds so you're words sound much more clear and understandable to a native English speaker. Check out my tutor profile and book a lesson! I have so much availability!

Hi! I like to eat fruits very much. Especially green apples and oranges. I eat it almost every day.

A gas leak occurred in Yamaguchi prefecture today. As a result, fire and gas supply were suspended, and some elementary schools suffered serious damage such as evacuees, making school meals difficult. In addition, some restaurants lost 300,000 yen a day because they couldn't cook, so they canceled all group reservations. The hot spring facilities had to be closed because there was no hot water. Gas is essential to people's daily lives. My family is taking some measures in case of a big earthquake or emergency. For example, if we can't take a bath, we can use a body sheet or a dry shampoo. In case we don't run out of water, we store water to drink, and we also buy small gas cylinders and gas stoves so that we won't be able to cook. Japan is said to be one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. It's really important to prepare for emergencies. Of course, I don't think this is enough, so I'd like to review it again. The cause of the gas leak is unknown in detail, and the gas supplier seems to be pursuing the cause, but I hope it will be resolved soon. It's very cold these days, so people in the affected areas are praying for the fastest gas recovery to prevent the cold.
