I love teaching at N.D.S.U. in Okayama. It's a small university where students have a chance to shine. If you come to study here, you'll be surprised by the small classes and friendly atmosphere. My favorite part of my job is working with the English Drama Club. I'm the director, and we put on two plays a year. We always have such a wonderful time together! Why don't you join us!

■ Belonging society
1. The Jewish Literary Society of Japan
■ Educational ability
● Practice example of education method
1. All of my courses are student-centered, with the teacher creating the opportunity for students to be speaking and interacting for the majority of the time. The Modern American Drama Seminar, is actually "taught" by the students themselves, who create the weekly study sheets and lead the class through the selected reading for the week. The teacher adds appropriate guidance from the sidelines.
● Made textbook and teaching material
1. I have created most of my own teaching materials, with the exception of the Freshmen Communication class, for which there is a textbook. However, in the Active English class, I also supply my own materials.My tailored syllabi include the Composition Class, Oral Communication for Juniors, and my Seminar in Modern American Drama.
● Special note of person who has experience of business
1. 2014～2016 生涯学習センター主催の一般社会人向け講座を担当している。2014年には"Survival English"と題して計7回、2016年には"Traveling English"と題して計5回。この講座は人気があり、出席率もよい。
