Cert. Japanese Language Teaching

I began assisting Japanese language learners in Norway and Japan seven years ago. For three years, I worked as a Japanese teacher in Bangkok, where I found that teaching not only allowed me to share knowledge but also to learn a great deal from my students. This mutual growth makes teaching a fulfilling passion of mine.
Currently, I am studying early childhood education in Brisbane while continuing my work as a Japanese teacher. I look forward to inspiring and supporting my students on their language journey!
Message for students
Thank you for your interest in learning Japanese! Studying Japanese opens up a world of fascinating discoveries, cultural differences, and new perspectives.
Let's enjoy the process together and work towards becoming confident Japanese speakers!

I have lived on the Gold Coast for 20 years and moved to Brisbane in July 2021.
I got a qualification as a Japanese teacher when I lived on the Gold Coast, and after that, I worked as a Japanese teacher in Japan and interacted with various people.
I have been working as a Japanese teacher for over 10 years, but every day I discover new things.
I would like to continue to enjoy teaching with the spirit of devotion every day(日々精進).
