What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and values my teaching experience.

I am an experienced English teacher currently working at Asia Plant Service Ltd. in Nagoya, Japan. With a solid foundation in hospitality management, I have successfully transitioned my skills into education, where I focus on creating engaging and effective learning environments for my students.

My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management, which equipped me with essential skills in customer service and communication. I have worked in various roles, from teaching English to young learners to serving in high-paced restaurant environments, which has honed my ability to adapt and thrive in diverse settings.

My commitment to education is further supported by my certifications in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and Teaching English to Young Learners. I am passionate about fostering a love for learning and helping students achieve their language goals.
