Hello! My name is Kristine. I am 31 years old. My first visit in Japan was last December 2015. My second visit in Japan was last March. I have been working as a licensed Medical Technologist, also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientist in the Philippines from November 25, 2009- February 29, 2016. There was a shift in my career path because I want to explore more options aside from working in a clinical laboratory set up. I was given an opportunity and I started working as Assistant Language Teacher last April of this year. I handle 4 schools of Junior Highschool students in Higashikurume city. I am very excited to meet you and help you enhance your English language ability. I can help you in your writing, speaking, listening and reading English related concerns.
Currently I have one JHS and elementary private student every Wednesday and Thursday evening. I also handled three Korean students as private English client in 2016-2017. Last July 2016, I went to Osaka because my Japanese friend asked me to help him in practicing his English. We did our lesson in a cafe for one whole week. We spent about average of 4 hours a day to study and practice his English conversation skill, learning new vocabulary related to advertising, enjoying a fun one on one game, and explaining that there are words with two different meanings as well as spelling of English words. He is now working in Vietnam in the advertising industry and also has boutique hotel business there. It was a memorable experience because it was an all expense paid trip; from the bus fare, my daily meals and the accommodation. I was also fairly compensated for my teaching service. I was able to meet his family and experience a real Japanese culture.
I have handled an English Camp 2016 in Kasai and also in Nikko, Tochigi in January 2018. I was one of the ALTs who helped in the event. I met many Japanese students and foreigners as well.
I am also very warm and friendly. I may not be very fluent yet in speaking Japanese but I am doing my part to learn even just the basic.
If I am given the great opportunity to help you learn English, in return, I will provide an exemplary professional service as a language teacher. I will do what is expected of me and execute the job exceptionally. I am a foreigner in Japan who wants to be productive while being able to experience culture and lifestyle.
Thank you for choosing me and I know we will have a good and enjoyable time together while learning English.
