What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an ESL role where I can teach with task-based clarity, support learners for academic and professional goals (including EIKEN), and contribute to quality, feedback, and continuous improvement in a collaborative team.

I’m a certified ESL educator and current ALT based in Japan, bringing a Bachelor’s degree in Education Economics, TEFL certification, and a TRCN teaching licence. I’ve taught English for over three years across early years, primary, secondary, and adult learners—both in-person and online—building lessons that develop real language ability, not only test performance.

I’m experienced in EIKEN examination preparation across multiple grades, using a structured approach to academic speaking, reading comprehension, and written expression. My goal is to extend beyond exam readiness into genuine language development through task-based learning and clear, transferable communication skills.

Before my current role, I taught Japanese professionals through Bizmates, gaining strong insight into Japanese learner profiles, cultural communication expectations, and workplace English needs. I delivered real-time corrections, structured feedback, and progress documentation to support measurable improvement.

I also work in ESL instructional quality assurance, evaluating recorded lessons against quality benchmarks and writing structured feedback for teaching staff. This reflective, evidence-based mindset strengthens both my classroom practice and the learning experience I help deliver.
