Hello everyone, nice to meet you! My name is Brendan and I am 22 years old. I am currently an English teacher at a private juku in Kyoto. I teach elementary schools children, from beginners to quite advanced students.
About myself:
I was born in Seoul, Korea, but quickly moved to Vancouver, Canada at the age of 2. My English is of native level, and my love for Korean culture and influence of my family makes my Korean level native as well.
Why am I in Kyoto?
I am in Kyoto until May 2015 with a Working Holiday Visa. I came to Kyoto to be together with my friends that I met in Vancouver. Many live in Kyoto and I am taking a break from my work in Vancouver.
Will I be a good teacher?
YES! I have taught MANY MANY students in Vancouver. I have done private teaching lessons, and I have also worked in language schools for English As Second Language (ESL) students. I also have experience teaching Japanese students.
Feel free to contact me by email. I prefer to meet at a local coffee shop near a Hankyu station for adults, and I do not mind going to individual homes for students.
***If we can do something like a language exchange, I am willing to wave the lesson cost based on how well you can teach me JAPANESE! Please message me for details on that.
