Introduction

Hello! My name is Helen and it is a pleasure to meet you. I am a New York City native. Although I am a NY native, I have been living and working in Japan as a teacher. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and even though I have lived here for some time, my Japanese is a bit limited.

Although I was born and raised in NYC, I am a lover of nature (as you can tell by my profile picture). Japan's natural beauty has turned me into a huge nature girl. I love hiking, going out for walks, and being out with all the lush Tokyo has to offer. During my free time, I love to press the flowers from my hikes, ride my bike to the river, or work on my embroidery skills. If I am not working on my artistic side, I enjoy reading books and watching my favorite anime!
Not only do I look forward to teaching and taking care of your child, but I would love to share my passion for nature and encourage them to fall in love with all the shades of nature.

Spanish translation: ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Helen y es un placer conocerte. Soy nativo de la ciudad de Nueva York. Aunque soy nativo de Nueva York, he estado viviendo y trabajando en Japón como profesor. Soy bilingüe en español e inglés, y aunque vivo aquí desde hace algún tiempo, mi japonés es un poco limitado.


Aunque nací y crecí en la ciudad de Nueva York, soy un amante de la naturaleza (como pueden ver en mi foto de perfil). La belleza natural de Japón me ha convertido en una gran chica natural. Me encanta hacer senderismo, salir a caminar y disfrutar de todo lo exuberante que Tokio tiene para ofrecer. Durante mi tiempo libre, me encanta prensar las flores de mis caminatas, andar en bicicleta hasta el río o trabajar en mis habilidades de bordado. Si no estoy trabajando en mi lado artístico, ¡disfruto leyendo libros y viendo mi anime favorito!

Experience

I have six years of experience working with children. I have a range of experience working with different age groups. I have experience working with children as young as 5 to the oldest 15 years old.
In March 2023, I graduated from Sophia University with a master's in education. I can work closely with your child and help them with essay writing, grammar, or any academic needs they may have with the English language. I love encouraging a child to think critically, so I love engaging in critical thought and conversation. In addition, I love teaching students about history and social studies.
I look forward to helping your child improve in these subjects if they need it!

If you would like for me to be your child's care taker. Please read the policy below and send me a message! Thank you and I am thrilled to working with you.
