    About Me

    I enjoy teaching English and Spanish. In college I also studied French and Portuguese but I'm not fluent in those. When I moved to Nagoya I started teaching kids and adults at ECC until I retired in 2019. I wanted to retire young, lol. I often work out at the gym and also go jogging. Near Imaike station there is a JoyJoy and I often go there to play billiards (pool). I love playing pool and listening to music with friends. I like drinking but I don't smoke.

    Education

    UW-Madison, in Wisconsin, USA. My major was Latin-American Studies, but also studied Spanish literature. At first I wanted to study computer science, so I took several PC courses.

    Experience / Qualifications

    In the USA I started teaching people how to use computers, before smartphones came out. I did that in Spanish. When I came to Nagoya, I started working at ECC and taught kids and adults.
