🎓 Master's Degree
I have over 13 years experience teaching English, with students from kindergarten, high school, college, and adults. I am married with two kids; you might hear them in the background sometimes. My interest and hobbies are jogging, cooking, carpentry, astronomy, history, and video games. Please let me know what your hobbies and interest are! It's a great way to begin learning English.
I studied Japanese so I understand the difficulty of learning a new language and use that experience to help my students.Me as a Teacher

✅Readings and books to help my students learn English.
I use TESOL, IB, and Montessori educational methods to help my students learn English.
The best way to learn is to talk about what topics, hobbies and interests students' have. Their hobbies and interest can be cooking, history, astronomy, video games, Pokémon, Disney, sports, food, manga, anime etc.
By talking about what hobbies and topics students enjoy, it makes learning English fun and motivates them to want to speak.
⭐On italki, a lesson can only be canceled or rescheduled 24 hours before the lesson start time.⭐My lessons & teaching style
Classes are available for English Conversation, Business English, Test and Exam Prep, or a requested topic in English.
For teaching to young learners, I have certifications in IB International Baccalaureate in Primary Years and International Montessori Diploma for children. I have successfully taught over 100s of young students how to read, write and speak and prep for exams. Speed Method is used to help retain learning and increase speed and familiarity with English conversation.
Children Lessons are focused on the basics of Introductions in English, ABCs, Phonics, Pronunciation, Writing, and Basic Conversation. Lessons are based on the needs of the students' or parents' request.My teaching material

孫が英語の勉強をしたいと言うので、先日Mel 先生のトライアルレッスンを受けました。いつも学校の宿題は5分くらいしか集中できないのですが、Mel先生のレッスンは30分間集中していました。それで、定期的にレッスンを受けることにしました。孫はMel先生がお気に入りで、レッスンをとても楽しみにしています。
