はじめまして。
エリーと申します。ロサンゼルス生まれのアメリカ育ちです。現在は上智大学の国際教養学部で人類学などを勉強をしています。将来は大学の教授と翻訳家になることを目指しています。日英完全のバイリンガルですので、レッスン中は日本語での説明も勿論可能です。元々人に教えるのが大好きで、高校生の頃から勉強、フィギュアスケートとの両立をしながら、日本人の子供達に英語の家庭教師をしてきました。また、アメリカの公文教室で英語のアシスタント教師を一年間経験しております。そこで多くの英語を母国語としない幼少の生徒さん達に英語の基礎や発音を教えてきました。私の生徒さんは全員確実に発音は勿論、英語力が上達しています。生徒さんの学力向上を見るのが嬉しくて、レッスン中は熱が入ります。お陰様で生徒さんや親御さんからは好評、信頼をいただいております。英検１級も持っていますので、学校の宿題のみならず、英検対策もお手伝いできます。
※土曜日に英語のスピーチ大会がある場合には、水曜日に変更させていただきます。

Hi everyone,
My name is Ellie, and I am currently a full-time college student at Sophia University. I was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up in Richmond, Virginia, juggling regular American school and Japanese Saturday school for my entire life. Hence, I was able to maintain my fluency in both Japanese and English. Concerning my teaching experience, I have been tutoring English for about four years, along with a one-year experience at Kumon as an assistant English teacher. Needless to say, I have a burning passion for teaching other people as I enjoy it so much - in the future, I would like to be a college professor while taking on professional translating work. In addition, I also have passed the highest level of the Eiken Test - the 1st level and graduated high school with honors.
Teaching Style: After I get an overall idea of the student's ability in the English language during some basic conversations during the first lesson, I will focus on the student's weak areas and improve his or her strengths. If students have homework that he or she needs help on, I will assist them in that matter very thoroughly. Also, I do not provide or use any textbooks: if students choose to bring them for my lessons, that would be great. Lastly, my lessons generally lean towards the informal style, since I want to maintain a casual and friendly atmosphere with my students. I strive to make learning English fun for everyone and hope to maximize each and every students' potential by teaching accordingly to their specific learning and curriculum-appropriate methods.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me via email at any time.
I'm looking forward to working with you, and I can't wait to make learning English fun for all of you!
