Certifications: I’ve spent the last few years teaching English, reviewing books, and writing my own, and somewhere along the way it all blended into something that feels like both work and home. The TEFL training helped, but most of what I’ve learned came from sitting with students, hearing their stories, and watching them find their way through a language that can feel endless at times. Each person shows up with their own history, their own rhythm, and I get to walk beside them for a little while. It’s simple, but it means a lot to me.
Announcements: My own path as a writer has shown me what storytelling and style can do. I’ve picked up things along the way, and I want to share them with you in a way that lifts your writing without forcing anything. Reading and reviewing books has taught me how many different ways a piece of writing can reach someone, and that perspective is something I bring into our work together.
Hobbies/Travel: When I’m not teaching, I’m usually buried in a book or sitting with my own words. Those two things feel like home to me, so I return to them whenever I can. I like moving my body too, whether I’m hitting the bag, running a few miles, shooting around, or trying to stay sharp over a chessboard. I try to nudge myself forward a bit each day. Nothing loud or flashy, just the small kind of progress that stacks quietly over time. Kaizen taught me that. It’s the idea that keeps me steady when I’m learning something new or pushing myself in training or trying to grow as a person.
Message from the instructor: Your success in English is what I'm here for. Helping people express themselves through words is not just my profession; it's my ikigai, my life's purpose. I want to understand what you need, what slows you down, and what you’re reaching for. From there, I can guide you in a way that feels personal, not generic, whether it’s your writing, your grammar, or just getting more comfortable using the language. We both care about learning. That’s why I’m here, not only to check your sentences, but to walk beside you while you keep getting better. If you’re working on essays, preparing for a test, or simply trying to enjoy writing more, I’m here for all of it. We’ll take each step as it comes and use every challenge as a chance to grow.

Thank you for your kind comments! They boosted my confidence. I will keep studying English hard to become capable of composing essays in the literary style as you suggested.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. Choosing formal words and styles is still difficult for me, so your suggestions were very helpful. Thanks again!
