Since 2005, I have taught and tutored English and Japanese. I have taught students from age 18 months to 65+ in a variety of subjects. I have experience tutoring students with ADHD and dyslexia and students who are non-native English speakers. I have taught students with autism and other special needs in the daycare and elementary school settings.
If you or your child wish to learn Japanese, but do not think that you can succeed because of some obstacle, don’t worry! We will work together at your or your child’s pace to make sure that you or your child understand every concept.
