Hi guys! My name is Natalie, and I'm from Milwaukee, WI! I just finished my degree in Japanese Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where I also completed an internship in Southern Japan last year, teaching English to elementary and middle school students. I hope to move to Japan next year to become an in-person English teacher and am certified to teach English as a foreign language. I would absolutely love to be your English teacher! I believe language learning works when students are encouraged to express themselves without being scared to make a mistake. The best part of learning a language is watching yourself grow, and you can’t do that without making a couple of mistakes. Having learned Japanese for the last four years, I know learning a language is hard, but together with hard work and patience, I know we can do it. I am here for any questions and concerns! I'm excited to meet everyone, and thank you so much.
