I speak very basic Japanese. I have been an interpreter for Spanish to English and vice versa for 30 years. I have been an Art and English teacher. I ask that the student pays for transportation if it is over 30 mins away from my station.
I use a variety of methods in teaching. From free conversation with ease to more technical of using worksheets, live worksheets on laptop, and books.
I am very easy going and I like for my students to feel comfortable without judgment in learning English and having fun doing so.
I have had students win first place in English speech contest.
