The Teacher

Valentina Magno
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.
Let me help you make language learning not just a task but an enjoyable experience!
