About me
As a lifelong learner—currently studying Japanese—I deeply relate to the challenges my students face. This ongoing learning journey keeps me empathetic, reminding me that while the subject may be second nature to me, my students are still striving to master it.
To bridge this gap, I incorporate modern news, songs, trends, and real-world examples into my lessons, making complex concepts more relatable and engaging. By connecting education to their everyday lives, I help students see the relevance of what they’re learning, making it easier for them to grasp and retain new ideas.
