​J-CALP Instructors

I graduated from Gakushuin University with a degree in Aesthetics and Art History. During my time there, I worked on museum outreach programs and supported public exhibition projects.

​

I started my career as a Japanese language teacher in 2015. At my current school, I launched specialized classes for students preparing for admission to art universities and vocational programs, and organized student exhibitions within the school.

​

Drawing on my background in French, I have taught Japanese using an eclectic approach at events such as the 2018 Japan Association in Paris and Hinodé de Tours. In 2019, I also led Japanese language lessons and cultural workshops at the Japan Tours Festival, where they received excellent feedback.

​

I am now a full-time instructor and head of career guidance, mainly supporting students who wish to pursue studies in art-related fields.

I graduated from Meiji Gakuin University with a degree in Law. While in university, I taught entrance exam preparation at a cram school, and after graduating, I worked as a legal secretary beginning in 2005.

​

I later transitioned into Japanese language education. Since 2024, I have been teaching Japanese at both elementary and high schools, working with students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I also have about five years of experience living in Indonesia and can communicate in both English and Indonesian.

​

As a mother of three, I use my parenting experience to support each student with care and attention. I am dedicated to helping learners grow with confidence and reach their goals.

I graduated from Waseda University’s School of Culture, Media and Society, where I studied Social Construction Studies.

​

After studying in Canada, I gained experience in both Japanese and global companies, working in international business and human resources. During this time, I also completed a Japanese Language Teacher Training Course.

​

Drawing on my professional experience, I help learners from a variety of backgrounds build the skills and confidence needed to thrive in Japanese workplaces. As a certified National Career Consultant, I focus on practical, career-focused business Japanese instruction.

​

My motto is “to make the people around me happy,” and I offer warm, sincere lessons with English support available.

I’m originally from Taipei, Taiwan, and graduated from the College of Pharmacy at National Taiwan University. Since 2018, I have worked as a pharmacist in private hospitals and clinics.

​

I started studying Japanese in 2020 and passed the JLPT N1 in January 2022. I began receiving graduate school entrance exam guidance through J-CALP in December 2022, and in November 2023, I was accepted into the Global Health program at Juntendo University’s Graduate School of Medicine. During my exam preparation, I also passed the Taiwan tour guide license examination.

​

Based on my own experience preparing for exams and applications, I now work as an exam preparation mentor at J-CALP, supporting learners with career planning, university selection, and writing statements of purpose and research proposals in Japanese, Chinese, and English.

I’m originally from Singapore and graduated from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands with a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and Sign Linguistics. 

After earning my CELTA qualification from the University of Cambridge, I worked as a corporate trainer for seven years.

​

I am bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese, and I also use Japanese, Korean, and Dutch at an upper-intermediate level. With more than ten years of experience teaching both Mandarin Chinese and English, I specialize in IELTS preparation, phonetics, and phonology.

​

Using my multilingual background and knowledge of linguistics, I support learners in building confidence and developing practical language skills for real-life communication.
