Hello! My name is Edwin. I'm from Uganda and I am a native English speaker. 皆さんこんにちは!エドウィンと申します。ウガンダ人で、母国語は英語です。
About meI love learning languages, and have been enjoying learning Japanese since I went to Nagoya, Japan for graduate studies (2014-2021). I also enjoy cooking (and eating!), taking walks in nature, reading, and listening to music. 名古屋大学で留学しました。趣味は料理を作ることと食べること、散歩、読書と音楽を聴くことです。
My work desk at Nagoya University (I studied for a masters in traffic and transportation engineering). 名古屋大学の研究室で。交通工学を勉強しました。
My teaching backgroundWhile in Japan, I worked as an English language teacher for seven (7) years, and offered conversation lessons and business English lessons. I loved every minute of the teaching experience because I was able to offer value to my students and help them achieve their language goals, and at the same time learn about the culture and life in general from the perspective of each of my students. 留学していた時には、英会話とビジネス英語の先生としてアルバイトをしました。生徒たが親切で、日本の文化についてたくさん勉強させてもらいました。すごく良い経験でした。
