My English Journey

① As an English Tutor

I have been volunteering as an English tutor for elementary school students at a non-profit organization in the United States, called "Learn To Be", that provides online tutoring. Through this experience, I learned the importance of creating a welcoming environment where student's interest in English flourishes. Students who previously had no interest in English or learning itself continue to take my lessons and I have definitely seen an improvement in how they view learning.

② My Educational Background

I attended an international school in Japan in my elementary school years. After passing the junior high school entrance exam, I went on to a Japanese school. In the first year of junior high school, I started competitive debating in English and won several awards. In my third year of junior high school, I moved to Canada and transferred to a local school, where I founded a debate club and participated in Model United Nations. Through studying French as my third language, I experienced the difficulties of learning a new language and use this experience to tutor English in a more approachable, engaging, and fun way!
