I hold a Master's degree in International Studies from the University of Denver. With experience teaching Japanese at a language school, as well as to colleagues and my own children, I am passionate about sharing the beauty and depth of the Japanese language and culture. My teaching approach is tailored to each student's level and goals, with a strong emphasis on understanding grammar and context. I pay close attention to linguistic nuances, including the proper use of keigo (honorific speech) and particles. I am currently attending a series of seminars on teaching Japanese to adult learners. My dedication to promoting Japanese culture is also reflected in my achievement in the ITO EN North America Haiku Competition, where I received the Silver Award. I look forward to helping students reach their language-learning goals.

Ph.D. in Criminal Justice. Master of Science in Legal Administration and BA in Sociology. I am an analytical person who believes that learning should be fun.

I believe that any student can achieve their goal with hard work and dedication. Too often in school it is easy for us become frustrated. The obstacles we face can seem insurmountable and the progress we are making nonexistent. However, if we apply ourselves with vigor we are always learning more than we know and making better progress than we suspect. Each student has it within themselves to succeed.I am a PhD student in Politics at the University of Virginia. I came to graduate school because of love of learning and teaching. Learning and teaching are really two sides of the same coin. To learn something new and not to impart it to anyone is empty, while teaching without learning is meaningless. Before I started graduate school I taught English and related subjects to college students in China for five years. Living and working abroad, as well as teaching abroad, was an amazing experience which helped me learn how to deal with a wide variety of situations. I hope that we can work together to realize your educational goals.

I joined TFA-New York City and was assigned as a 5th Grade Special Education teacher at P.S. 325 in Harlem in 2011. I was rated an effective teacher both years. It was at P.S. 325 where I learned to use various technologies such as PowerPoint, iPad apps, an interactive SmartBoard and enthusiasm to connect with my students while teaching Math. At one point, TFA asked me to give a seminar to other Corps Members that taught them how to make their presentations more interactive and engaging. I learned how to manage multiple projects and people, while continuing to develop professionally. I engaged with the community, located just blocks from Columbia University, and began to understand the fragmentation of New York City.
