🌸🌸🌸About Sumiko🌸🌸🌸
🌸Born and raised in Japan
🌸I am a Japanese born in Nara City, Nara Prefecture.
🌸I live in the suburbs of Milan, Italy.
🌸I speak Japanese, English and Italian.
🌸I can teach Kansai dialect, also.
🌸 Graduated from the Department of English Literature, Faculty of Letters, Doshisha University, Japan
🌸 Qualified as a piano instructor
🌸 Lived in the US for 5 years, lived in Italy for 15 years
\🌸 Graduated from university
🌸 From childhood until graduation from high school, I was aiming to join the piano section of a music college, but
🌸 I liked English. So, when I was in my third year of high school, I changed my career path and entered the English Department of the Faculty of Letters at Doshisha University.
🌸When I was in college, I worked part-time as a cram school instructor and a private tutor. I also joined the broadcasting club for a while, and as part of my job hunting, I attended an announcer training school during my fourth year at university.
🌸After graduating from university, I worked as an employee at a partially listed company (Mitsubishi Group Leasing Company), and then 🌸Dropped out of Irvine Valley College in California, USA.
🌸I married my Italian husband, whom I met in America. 🌸After getting married in Italy, I moved to America and lived there for about 5 years, including my student days.
🌸I moved back to Italy when my daughter and son were in elementary school and have lived there since 2008. I studied Italian at a private language school for just six months before my kids were born. However, between English and Italian, I am better at English.
🌸After returning to Italy, I took piano lessons from MASSIMO Bianchi, a disciple of pianist Bruno Canino, and taught piano to children and adults at private music schools and at home.
🌸At the same time, I taught English and Japanese to those who requested it. 🌸In 2020, I had to quit my job at a music school due to the coronavirus pandemic, and since then I have been teaching piano, English, and Japanese at home.
🌸I registered as an AmazingTalker tutor at the end of February this year, and I am really enjoying my work as I have plenty of time to work. 🌸At AT, I offer English classes focusing on grammar for Japanese students, and Japanese language classes for foreigners. 🌸Currently, I have students who are around 6 years and teenagers to adults whose Japanese level is from beginner to advanced. However, what I am best at is teaching Japanese to foreign junior high and high school students, and teaching English to Japanese junior high and high school students.
🌸I also really enjoy teaching Japanese to advanced level students. 🌸I obtained the first grade of the Practical English Proficiency Test during my university days.
🌸 I scored 542 on the TOEFL when I studied abroad in the United States.
🌸 I took the Kawai Piano Instructor Grade test and passed the practical exam.
🌸I have actually played the piano when asked to accompany ballet classes, played at local events, speak English and Japanese, and occasionally am asked by a company to work as an interpreter, so I am able to work based solely on my experience. I received it.
🌸I went through the sheet music for a concert by a pianist master I worked with in Italy, and I accompanied a violin students at a recital at a music school. It's still a wonderful memory.
