Hello there! I'm Valentina, an online English instructor with 7 years of experience, and I'm excited to share my language-learning story with you!

​

The Story of My Language Journey

​

• I began learning English at the age of 6 in Brazil, and ever since then, I've been on a journey to master the language.

• In 2014, I went on a six-month adventure as an exchange student in the United States. It was a game-changer, allowing me to immerse myself in American culture and improve my English skills drastically.

• In 2016, I moved to Tokyo, Japan to pursue a degree in International Relations at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. This journey was made possible by a four-year scholarship granted by the Ministry of Education in Japan (MEXT - 文部科学省). I graduated in 2020, and then started working for mybest, Inc (株式会社マイベスト), a Japanese company.

• Since 2016, I've been teaching English in Seijo, Tokyo, conducting private and group lessons for kids, teenagers, and adults. I cover a variety of methods, including speaking, writing, and preparing students for exams like Eiken, TOEFL, and IELTS.

• Expanding my reach, I started offering private lessons online and in-person to adult learners from different parts of the world, including China, Japan, and Brazil.

• In 2022, I took on the role of homeschooling instructor in Tokyo, helping students increase their exposure to English and preparing them for the Eiken exam.

Why Choose My Classes?

​

Besides English and Portuguese, I also speak Japanese, Spanish, and French. Learning these languages as a non-native speaker has given me valuable insights into the challenges students face. With my extensive language learning journey and teaching experience, I bring a personalized and enriching approach to language acquisition.
