Eriko

I came to the US for marriage in 2013.I graduated from Sophia University in Tokyo in 2011, and I received my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts with a focus on International Business & Economics. My working experience is very unique and extensive as I have worked for several different companies both in Japan and the US, in accounting, finance and legal areas. When I was working as a translator for a law firm in NY for Japanese corporate clients' e-discovery processes in litigation, I noticed many people are interested in learning Japanese. At the same time, I found myself enjoying interacting with people through different forms of communications. Although I am not much experienced in teaching or tutoring, I am passionate about knowing people, helping people, listening to people and interacting with people. I believe that my unique experiences and skills are beneficial in helping people learn Japanese and Japanese culture. I am very open and flexible with your suggestions and would like to tailer my lessons based on your needs and interests. If you are into Japanese anime, I will base my lessons on your favorite anime. If you have a Japanese business partner or Japanese corporate clients that you are having a difficult time communicating with, I would help with your documents/emails and their unspoken needs and indications. Everything will be kept confidential. If you are planning to visit Japan, I will prepare lessons for your survival in Japan for basic needs. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any questions, and we can go from there.

Spending time with my family, friends and dogs - I have three cavapoos!, listening to music of various genres, exercising, yoga, meditation, long bath with candles and aroma therapies, driving, traveling, seeing architectures, and visiting art galleries and botanical gardens.
