Fun Facts
I lived in Tokyo, Japan for most of my life and this is only my 2nd year living in America! I went to an English-speaking school in Japan, and fell in love with literature and fiction writing! My passions, outside of learning, include swimming (both competitively and for fun), singing, and traveling :)
About Me
I am an English Major with a double minor in Music and Rhetoric & Media studies at Lewis and Clark College. I am half Japanese and half American, and I'm fluent in both languages. My dream is to work at international schools all over the globe as a Highschool English teacher and hopefully teach AP Literature and creative writing.
Experience
I have been a private tutor for English, ESL, and Japanese for over four years. I have also worked for five years in Japan at an English Immersion summer camp for native Japanese children. Over the summer, I also advise rising seniors on college essay writing, and tutor other students in creative fiction writing. I have also done vocal coaching, Elementary swim coaching, and Elementary gymnastics coaching.
Approach
I've always been so passionate about reading and writing and it's my goal to show others how beautiful and inspiring language can be. Language allows us to be better communicators and better friends, expands our horizons, and inspires change. Learning to use language and your voice to express yourself is a superpower, but falling in love with it makes you invincible, even immortal. I hope to personalize learning for each student and use the things they are passionate about to help them grow. If you like bugs, we'll do activities related to bugs. It's more about finding something you love within a subject than learning a subject just to be "better".
