About the Instructors

Hi! My name is Wakana. Whether it is learning a language or needing extra guidance in school subjects, I’m ready to help! I’ve taught English to people of all levels from young children to college students. Already fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese (currently working on my fourth language: Cantonese), I understand what it takes to master a language and ready to share tips and techniques!

父の転勤により2歳からアメリカに移住。ニューヨーク大学教育学部を2012年に卒業後、主に現地校に通う日本人の子供たちの教育に携わってまいりました。アメリカで育った経験を生かし、子供たちの目線に立って教えることに喜びを感じています。外国での子育てに奮闘する親御さんやお仕事を始められた方、また日本に住みながら英語を学びたいという方とのレッスンも行っています。一人一人のニーズに応じたレッスンを心掛けております。

As a devoted and diligent teacher, I take into consideration each and every one of my student’s potential and needs. I adjust my teaching methods accordingly and strive to enhance their learning experience. I was born in Japan and moved to the States when I was 2. I’ve received all my education in America. I’ve lived in Georgia and New Jersey, and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Education from New York University. Now, I’m currently living in Philadelphia as an English Instructor/Japanese Instructor/Private tutor.

Born in Japan and raised in America, I grew up understanding the language and culture of both countries. Currently living in the multicultural hub of Los Angeles, I’m happy to help bridge the gap of communication between different countries and help people become more comfortable speaking another language!
