Teacher Profile
I'm Melanie and I have a Graduate Diploma in English Teaching. I have taught in both classroom settings and online. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese (language and culture) and lived in Japan for one year in Hirosaki City in Aomori prefecture. I have been back to Japan twice since then for a few months each time and it now feels like my second home.
I have previously worked as an online teacher teaching adults from around the world. I have also taught in classroom settings in a language school in my city and during short term English camps for Korean students. I was a private tutor for young Japanese students when I lived in Japan as an exchange student.
I am a student focused teacher who looks for what the student wants to know and makes a lesson focusing on that. While we follow the curriculum, there is also room for whatever questions and doubts the student may have.
I worked in a professional environment while working at a language school. My boss was a great businessman and expected his teachers to work at a high standard.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese, a Diploma of Language in Portuguese and a Graduate Diploma in TESOL. I am now a Postgraduate student of Translation Studies, focusing on Japanese to English translation.
