Since it's a 1:1 class, your input is important. Now a little about me: I'm a very experienced (20+ years) American teacher. I live in crazy Mexico City.

I have taught on the university level, directed my own private school, and also have vast experience working virtually with Japanese students.

I have a degree in English and have perfect scores on TOEFL exams; I have TESOL & TEFL certification.
