What I'm looking for

I am seeking an English Assistant Teacher role in Japan where I can apply my classroom management, curriculum development, and cross-cultural teaching skills in a collaborative, student-centered school environment.

I am an English educator with over a decade of progressive teaching experience across learners of all ages, consistently achieving 100% student retention, course completion, and grade advancement. I have managed large classrooms (180+ students daily) while maintaining high engagement and outcomes.

I founded and ran a successful tutorial center, scaling it to 30 monthly students and supervising five teaching staff, while also delivering one-on-one and small-group instruction remotely. My remote work included tailored business-English training that led to course extensions and improved professional outcomes for clients.

I hold TESOL, TEFL, TESL and TEYL certifications and a Bachelor of Elementary Education, and I am proficient with educational technology such as Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canva, Zoom and Google Meet. I am C1-certified in English and developing Japanese proficiency (A2), supported by formal study and cultural immersion.
