I have taught classes in both American (Texan) and Japanese public schools, both in English and Japanese. I have been a teacher since 2016 and am currently teaching in Japan at the ES and JHS level. I also have experience as an ES Reading Interventionist and tutor for both one-on-one sessions and small groups.
My mission statement is to help make my students better global citizens by developing their ideas about the world and the people within it. I strive to develop materials for all kinds of learners to aid in the process of scaffolding information as well as understanding new language concepts. I prefer to have students share their own ideas in activities, to stay engaged and achieve a higher taxonomy of learning!
Yet to be added
I have a BA in English, a MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), and a JLPT N2 certification in Japanese. I also possess a Level 3 TOPIK certification in Korean.
I am interested in studying languages - aside from English and Japanese, I also speak Spanish and am currently studying Korean!
