  • Assistant Language Teacher

    • Apr 2020 - Mar 2022

    English teacher to Japanese students. I instructed, planned, and cooroperated with other instructors in order to create and run smooth and exciting English lessons to both Elementary and Junior High School students. Discussions before and after lessons with the Japanese staff improved the effectiveness of the lessons and allowed us to adjust things in order to be more succienct. In order to help the students engage with their aquisition of English, I created any additional materials necessary including but not limited to: flashcards, demo projects, board games, card games, PowerPoint projects and lectures, PowerPoint games, and the decoration of English boards and classrooms. As an English teacher, I was an ambassador of my home country and culture. I discovered one of the best ways to interact with the students was by going out and partaking in different events held at the schools and free times throughout the day such as playing tag during breaks, chatting with students between classes, and attending outside events such as Sports Day. The true joy and benefits of being an English teacher were in helping both the students and staff at the Japanese schools become more comfortable and confident with not just English but in expanding their world views and the people who live in it.
