はじめまして。エミリーと申します。私は父がイギリス人、母が日本人のハーフです。日本で生まれて3才の時からイギリスに住んでいます。英語が第一言語ですが母とは日本語で話していますので、日本語の日常会話には問題ありません。去年の6月にイギリスのダラム大学を卒業して3週間前に日本に着きました。
英語を外国語として教えた経験はたくさんあります。2018年の夏には6週間、中国の地方都市で7才から13才の子供に英語を教えるボランティアをしました。2020年に6ヶ月ほど成人中国人に個人レッスンを行いました。フリートークや上手な文章を書く練習をしたい方にはお手伝いして差し上げられますが、日本語で英文法を説明する経験はありません。外国語を楽しく勉強するのにお役に立ちたいと考えています。
Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Emily, and I am half-British half-Japanese. I was born in Japan and lived there until I was 3, after which I moved to the UK. English is my native language, however I am comfortable with daily conversation in Japanese. I graduated from Durham University in June 2021, and I arrived in Japan a few weeks ago.
I have a lot of experience teaching English. In 2018 I spent 6 weeks volunteering as an Englsih
teacher for kids aged 7-13 in China. I also worked as a private teacher to an adult Chinese student for 6 months in 2020. My strengths are helping with conversation, pronunciation, reading and writing, as well as teaching about British slang and culture. I am able to correct grammar mistakes but please be aware I do not have experience of teaching grammar in Japanese! I have also had a lot of work experience in English, including in a management consultancy, and I am confident writing essays. So if you need help with advanced English, please contact me!
I am able to sympathise with the language learning process as I am still learning Japanese and Spanish. I hope to make you feel as comfortable as possible when teaching. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
