My teaching is student-centered, adaptable, and focused on building real-world language skills through a clear structure and dynamic interaction. For advanced English and Spanish learners, I combine in-depth grammar and vocabulary with conversation, debate, writing, and cultural immersion. I use authentic materials—news articles, short stories, videos—to expand comprehension and encourage critical thinking, while also focusing on pronunciation and fluency. Lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether for academic writing, presentations, or professional contexts.

For basic Japanese, I introduce hiragana and katakana, fundamental grammar structures, and useful phrases for daily interaction. I use visual aids, repetition, and simple dialogues to build a strong foundation and maintain motivation. Cultural elements such as etiquette, expressions, and everyday customs are also integrated to provide context and relevance to the language being learned.

Classroom dynamics are supportive, engaging, and built on mutual respect. I encourage active participation and adjust pacing based on each student’s progress and preferred learning style (visual, auditory, or kinesthetic). Whether teaching in person or online, I strive to make each session practical, interactive, and enjoyable.

Although I am still building formal teaching experience, I bring a strong academic and professional background as an electrical engineer and current Master's student in Data Science. This has equipped me with analytical thinking, precision, and the ability to explain complex ideas in an accessible and structured way. I understand the challenges of learning a new language and take a patient, goal-oriented approach to help each learner succeed.

I believe that language learning is not just about grammar, but about connection, confidence, and cultural understanding. My goal is to help students express themselves clearly and comfortably while developing long-term language skills that serve them beyond the classroom.
