ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I have been supporting local Japanese language tutors by giving them teaching resources including step-by step instructions. 2歳児から、キンダー、小学生、中高生、大学生、大人、シニア。様々な年齢とレベルのアメリカ人に日本語を教えて20年です。「日本語を教えて、と頼まれたけど、教えた経験が無くて困っている」「教科書や教材はあるけど、どう教えて良いかわからない」という日本人の家庭教師、チューターの先生方のお手伝いもしています。私がシェアする教材では、教え方の手順やコツも紹介しています。少しでも助けになれば幸いです。
