Firstly, I have experience of living and working overseas in Japan. During this time, I organised and participated in a number of classes and events to help teach academic English to Japanese students for studying at universities overseas. In addition to this, I also have some informal teaching practice among my friends in Japan. I have also worked for a year at a local English conversation school in Saitama, where I taught a variety of children from the ages of 3 to 16 as well as adult learners.
