I teach Japanese in Taiwan, where I'm now in my second year and learning both Mandarin and Taiwanese. People here have been so warm that I've fallen for the place, and being able to wear sandals every day is a bonus.

I'm also a big eater. My favorites so far: spicy hot pot, mung bean soup, Chiayi tofu with century egg, Changhua braised pork rice, Tainan eel noodles, and Alishan cold-brew tea.

In lessons, I tailor everything to your goals, whether that's grammar, JLPT preparation, or conversation practice. I teach beginner to intermediate learners, as well as kids.
