Hi there!
I'm Eriko, a Japanese-English bilingual online tutor living in Southern Germany.
☆You want to have a casual chitchat in English but you don't have many chances to do so?
☆You're interested in those expressions that native speakers actually use?
☆You get a little nervous to talk to a native speaker and you want to have a Japanese biligual tutor instead?
...then come join in my trial lessons! ;)
☆Even when my schedule says I'm not available or you would like to book my lessons within 24 hours, I sometimes might be availble. In that case, please feel free to send me a message! :)

===a little bit about myself===
I took a English lesson weekly for about 11 years since I was 8. I made friends with exchange students in university. Then, before I even knew it, I was able to speak English.
What one likes, one will do well.(好きこそものの上手なれ)
Practice makes perfect.(継続は力なり)
I believe these two were the keys for me. And now I speak English without having to go study abroad.
After I graduated university, I had some opportunities to work where I got to speak English on a daily basis such as;
...a foreign sales department at an exporting company
...a biligual teacher at an internatioanl preschool
...a home tutor and babysitter in an American household in GA, USA ...an international customer service at a kimono rental store in Kyoto
I got Eiken pre-1 and TOEIC 940 while I was in university.
I have about a total of 3 years professional experience as a English tutor.
I've also done homestays in LA and Atlanta, US.
