I came to Japan with my husband because he got a principal job at a Japanese/Canadian Private School. I am learning Japanese and I love Japan. In Canada, I taught French full-time in a high school and before that, I taught French to adults for 10 years.
I became an English and French teacher many years ago because I love languages and teaching. I am currently teaching English 9 hours a week at a Japanese Private Junior and senior high school near Asagaya station. I am integrating with Japanese culture, But I miss teaching French and look forward to teaching French again.
Bonjour! I am very excited to teach you French. I have many skills and a lot of experience that make learning a language easy and fun. My methods will increase your ability to retain the information. I love teaching and I am very skilled at adapting to all types of learners and serving their needs. I welcome you and look forward to teaching you. French is a great language to learn and I can help you enjoy even the grammar! Since I moved to Tokyo, I have noticed how much Japanese people appreciate French culture. There are many similarities, such as the delicious food and the formal and informal parts of the language. Let's go on a French learning adventure together!
I have materials and methods that are fun and engaging. Bringing the mind and body together through movement, phrases, and role play will help you learn the language fast and remember what you have learned and have fun while you learn
French is a great language to learn and I can help you enjoy even the grammar! I believe that speaking and moving at the same time gets the language in your body and really helps to keep it there. I can adapt my teaching to the level and the parts of French you are interested in. We can discuss how you would learn best and make a plan that works for you.
