  I have been teaching the Japanese Language professionally since 1976 and have taught at the high school level at Kaimuki High School in Honolulu, Hawaii and in Austin, Texas at Austin High School. I have taught Japanese at the university level at the University of Hawaii and at the corporate level for National Instruments in Austin, Texas. Additionally, I have worked as an interpreter/translator in the State of Texas, have tutored students in Austin, Texas and have experience teaching English as a Second Language in Iran and Saudi Arabia. I am a bilingual native speaker of Japanese and was born in Akita, Japan. I graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo, Japan with a degree in English and speak, read and write fluent English. I earned an MA in Japanese from the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, Hawaii where I studied teaching Japanese as a Second Language with a specialty in syntax and linguistics. One of my strengths is the ability to simplify Japanese grammar for students by providing clear and concise explanations and examples. I was awarded a scholarship to the Linguistic Society of America Summer Institute where I studied with world-class scholars in Japanese Language and Linguistics. In 1977, I co-published an article in PAPERS IN JAPANESE LINGUISTICS, Volume 5, with Dr. Masayoshi Shibatani, Professor Emeritus, Kobe University and current Deedee McMurty Professor and Chair of the Department of Linguistics at Rice University. I have experience with the following commonly used Japanese textbook series: Genki Japanese for Busy People Adventures in Japanese Yokoso Elizabeth Jordan’s Nihongo The University of Hawaii Series
