Introduction
Experience
I regularly baby-sitted a 2-year-old and 5-year-old (at the same time) during my time in college to earn extra money. Their parents had recently moved to the US, so they could only speak in Japanese at the time. I used both English and Japanese with the kids so that they could get used to living in the US.
I also tutored middle school kids in writing twice a week during my time at university, and also volunteered as an educator for Peer Health Exchange, which offered health education to under-resourced high schools.
After college, I worked as an English teacher at both a Japanese high school and special needs school in Hiroshima prefecture. At the high school, I focused on teaching test prep and speech/presentation skills. At the school for children with special needs, I taught kids from ages 5 to 15 at various levels, so my lessons mainly focused on cultural themes including hula lessons.
大学の頃、バイトとして2歳と5歳の子供たちのベビーシッターを定期的にしていました。彼らの両親は最近アメリカに移住したばかりで、当時は日本語しか話せませんでした。子供たちとは英語と日本語の両方を使い、彼らがアメリカでの生活に慣れる手助けもしていました。
その同じ頃、ライティングの家庭教師として中学生を週に2回指導していました。また、Peer Health Exchangeというカリフォルニア州に本拠を置く健康教育組織で指導者としてボランティア活動もしていました。
卒業後は広島県の県立校等高校と特別支援学校で英語教師として働いていました。高校生には、テスト対策、スピーチやプレゼンテーションのスキルを主に教えていました。特別支援学校では、5歳から15歳までの子供たちを対象に、様々なレベルで授業を行いました。そのため、私の授業は主にフラのレッスンを含む文化をテーマにしてレッスンでした。
