Introduction

Hello. My name is Akane. I was born and raised in Kanagawa, Japan, and have studied and worked in the UK and the US for 3 years. I am fluent in both Japanese and English and speak a little bit of Burmese. I have MA in International Educational Development from Teachers College Columbia University, and have an experience in designing and leading programs regarding peace, human rights and multilingual education.

While in NY, I had 1 year experience of teaching bilingual preschoolers (4-5 years old), and also worked with children ages 2-10 in after-school programs and as a sitter. I also have 1-year volunteer experience working with children of various ages in my neighborhood, and 1.5 years of experience teaching English and Japanese as a tutor for Japanese elementary to high school students. Also, I have taught basic to advanced levels of Japanese for children to adults in both Japan and Myanmar for 2 years in total.

I love playing outdoors, music, arts & crafts, reading and baking with children, and love cleaning! I enjoy learning different cultures and languages, and currently exploring French, Turkish and Burmese.

I strive to connect with children as their friend and cherish their curiosity to explore the world.

Looking forward to the opportunity to work with you!

とても物腰柔らかく、優しい素敵な方でした。あかねさんが帰った後もずっとあかねさんの話をするぐらい楽しかったようです。
シッティング後娘の英語の発語がとても増えました!またよろしくお願いします!

Akaneさんは明るく、フレンドリーな方です。知人のお子様を見ていたという経験やミャンマーでの日本語を教えていた経験を聞く中で、接しやすくお子様とすぐに仲良くなれる方だという印象を受けました。ピアノが得意なのでお子様と音楽を通して楽しい保育を提供されると思います。
Akane is friendly and outgoing. She enjoys playing the piano, singing, and hopes to share her passion for music with other children. Akane would be a great fit for any CareFinder family, especially a family looking for someone who enjoys music or needs a Japanese tutor.
