Hello everyone! Welcome to my profile! It’s nice to meet you!
My name is Marisa and I’m a native English speaker. I’m from the beautiful, Caribbean, twin-island of Trinidad and Tobago, but I currently reside in Kagawa, Japan.
I am a certified teacher with over six years experience teaching English in Japan. I have taught students of all ages, from kindergarteners to adults - teaching both in the classroom, as well as online lessons. I also have two years experience of volunteer adult literacy tutoring in my country.
My hobbies include reading books, listening and dancing to music, watching movies and travelling. I love exploring new places, eating different foods, meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
I enjoy riding my bicycle through the Japanese countryside and cycling routes. I also especially love visiting shrines, temples and castles in Japan. One of my goals is to visit all twelve original castles!
Learning a new language can seem hard at times. I know because I’m learning Japanese. That’s why I’m a very patient teacher and it’s ok to make mistakes. I will make corrections to help you improve your language skills. I aim to make learning English fun and relatable for my students, by focusing on your needs and interests which will allow you to feel comfortable, motivated and confident!
Try one of my lessons today! Hope to see you soon!
