...and the school literary magazine, and I took a short exchange trip to a high school in Okinawa, Japan. Between writing, editing, and work-shopping, I have abundant experience in the writing process, and am excited to help with anything from essay editing to interpretation of literature. These skills also supplement my Japanese language knowledge, and allow me to teach students not only how to speak Japanese, but how to understand it as a language.... I believe that teaching is more than the act of imparting knowledge, and that learning is more than memorization. Especially when it comes to language, be it English literature or conversational Japanese, there are an uncountable number of correct answers. As with art, which correct answer to give is an aesthetic choice. The job of a teacher is to give the student the tools and skills not only to communicate effectively, but to find a way to communicate in a style that is distinctly their own.
