I am a fluent Japanese native, born in Japan, but raised mostly in the United States. I return multiple times a year to keep in touch with my Japanese family, as well as the culture and language.

While I enjoy academics as a whole, my passion has been in the Japanese language and Psychology, both of which I have an extensive college education in.

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology.

I believe learning another language is difficult enough on its own, so I aim to bridge the gaps in culture, native pronunciation, and enjoyment, through a relaxed, organized, patient, and encouraging approach. Consistency is key when it comes to any type of learning, therefore I aim to ensure that all students receive a punctual and dependable tutor in me.

In my spare time I enjoy working with animals, watching documentaries, and playing tennis.
