I believe students, especially younger ones, learn better and retain more information when they are having fun.  I like to teach students while making the learning process fun for them, as well as for myself.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Foreign Language
Texas Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from University of North Texas
Certified teacher for Japanese (EC-12), Mandarin(EC-12) and Art(EC-12).  I grew up speaking Japanese, Mandarin and Taiwanese, so I have no problem mixing them up to meet your need. Many years of freelance tutoring experience for Japanese and Mandarin have helped me teaching all levels of Japanese including Pre-AP and AP classes at my former employment at a public high school.  

I am also experienced in curriculum building for 4 years of Japanese language education based on ACTFL proficiency standards as a former school teacher.  As I teach more and more students from all over the world, I have become more familiar with CEFR rating as well as GCSE tiers.

I am an active board member of JTAT(Japanese Teacher's Association of Texas) and I host workshop webinars for JTAT members as well as give presentations at foreign language teachers' conferences to offer opportunities to learn new skills, new strategies, and best practices.
