About Me

I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Linguistics from the University of British Columbia in Canada where I took Classical Japanese, Newspaper and Essays in Japanese, Origin of English, and Historical Linguistics, to name a few. I passed the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) level N1 with a 168 out of 180 while living in Japan; I was there for 2 years teaching English on the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme. I was hired by the Ibara Board of Education in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, where I was contracted to teach English at local kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools. I was promoted in the second year to relocate to the main local middle school, and I was hired separately to teach Adult English Conversation night classes to members of the local community, hired privately to film local television commercials for English related summer camps, invited to numerous local Rotary Club meetings for excellence, and was ultimately offered to renew the contract for another year, which I declined. I have taught conversational and grammatical Japanese, Korean, and English to age groups ranging from 8 to 25 since summer of 2007.I was an active part of student associations during my time at the university: Vice President, by election, of the University of British Columbia Japanese Association and Department Head the year before, and Executive Member of the Japanese Relations at Queen's University and Head of Arts the year before. All tutoring / lessons can be conducted in Japanese, Korean, and English. I look forward to meeting you.
