Hello, everyone! My name is Maki. I was born and grew up in Japan, and I first began learning English when I was 12. Still, within 3 years, I could understand and speak basic English as if I had some experience in an English-speaking country. At that time, I only had EIKEN Grade 3 just like many of my schoolmates did in junior high school. The only difference was that I knew how to master what I already had in my head. You don't have to be a walking dictionary to communicate in English. (Though learning vocabulary expands the range of conversation.) The important thing is to "practice using English". I might not be a perfect teacher if you seek a teacher who knows everything, but I could be your good practice partner, trainer, or adviser since I'm a good listener.
*My natural speaking speed isn't so fast even in Japanese. So advanced students might find me unsatisfactory.
Now, English learners and users, let's communicate in English!!
Maki started learning English when she was 12. She says she didn't understand even a simple word then, but that aroused her curiosity. She studied at an English language school in Edmonton, Alberta for a year after high school. There she scored 885 in TOEIC (2005). After coming back to Japan, She passed EIKEN Grade Pre-1. She taught English at a kids' English school for a year and half, then at a general English school (kids and adults) for another year and half. While she was working as an ESL teacher, she enrolled in Nihon University, and majored in English Literature by distance learning. She scored 945 in TOEIC in 2013. She has also passed the Japanese Teaching Competency Test in 2016. She says that gave her a great opportunity to learn more about language acquisition and language teaching methods. She's been tutoring for a few years now.
You have no need to be nervous, because she's really easy to talk to. So just relax and enjoy her class!
Thank you.

自己紹介
みなさん、こんにちは！私の名前はマキです。
私は日本で生まれ、日本で育ち、12歳の時に初めて英語を学び始めました。それでも、3年以内に、英語を話す国での経験があるかのように基本的な英語を理解し、話すことができました。当時、私は多くの同級生が中学校でやったように、EIKEN Grade 3しか持っていませんでした。唯一の違いは、自分の頭の中にすでにあるものをマスターする方法を知っていたことです。英語でコミュニケーションをとるためにウォーキング辞書である必要はありません。 （ただし、語彙の学習は会話の範囲を広げます。）重要なことは、「英語を使った練習」です。
あなたがすべてを知っている教師を探しているなら、私は完璧な教師ではないかもしれませんが、私はあなたの良い練習パートナー、トレーナー、またはアドバイザーになることができます。
*私の自然な話す速度は日本語でもそれほど速くありません。そのため、上級生は私に不満を感じるかもしれません。
さあ、英語学習者とユーザー、英語でコミュニケーションしましょう！
