About me: 

I love music, the outdoors and camping. Foreign languages have always been an interest for me, as well. In addition to speaking some Japanese, I have some ability with French and German.

Teaching since: 
1999
Teaching experience: 

Since 1999, I have worked in Japan teaching in English conversation schools, the public/private school system, as well as privately.

Teaching focus: 

Coming from a multicultural background has been valuable to me in connecting with and understanding how to teach students of different cultures. My English is clear and my explanations are easy to understand. Living in Japan has given me the ability to especially help Japanese English learners.

Professional experience: 

For some time, I worked for the Royal Bank of Canada. However, after a couple years at the bank, I wanted a change. I interviewed and was accepted for job offer at a major English conversation school (GEOS) in Japan.

Education: 

I graduated from the University of Toronto. In 2012, I completed the Oxford University Press Teacher Training Certificate Program. However, the most valuable training I have received is from the 13 years of teaching experience with all variety of schools, students and textbooks, including TOEIC and EIKEN preparation texts.
