What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values language education and cultural exchange.

With over a decade of experience as a part-time lecturer, I have dedicated my career to teaching English at various esteemed institutions in Japan, including J. F. Oberlin University and Saitama International Medical University. My academic journey began with a Master’s degree in Computer Science, which has provided me with a unique perspective on integrating technology into language education.

In addition to my teaching roles, I have worked as a freelance translator, specializing in Japanese, English, and Portuguese. This experience has honed my linguistic skills and allowed me to engage with diverse content, from dissertations to business documents. My commitment to fostering a rich learning environment and my passion for language education drive my professional ethos.
