Bachelors, Japanese Portland State University
- I'm a graduate of Portland State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Language.
- After graduating in 2012, I moved to Japan to further study Japanese and teach English to children and adults for three years.
About Me
I love getting students excited about Japan and helping them untangle the challenging Japanese language. Students and I tend to have a lot of fun practicing pronunciation and studying kanji together. When I'm not tutoring, I like to read Japanese novels and comics, listen to music, cook, play video games and walk my dog.

Q&A with Ethan
My teaching philosophy is "learn while laughing!" Learning a language can be daunting, but it can also be surprisingly humorous. Using amusing mnemonics, observing and commenting on cultural differences, or watching comedies in your target language are great ways of having fun while learning. Laughing helps reduce stress and makes for a smoother learning process.
