Kirsten Tutor Profile

This tutor is currently on leave.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile page. My name is Kirsten, and I live in beautiful Washington State in the U.S.A. I am a college teacher with over 20 years of English teaching experience. Currently I teach ESL to international students at my local community college. I have been teaching on Cafetalk since 2014.

I have a Master's degree in Education and a Bachelor's degree in Asian Studies. I studied Japanese and lived in Japan for many years, and I have a true appreciation for Japanese language and culture. In some ways I feel more Japanese than American! I spent most of my Japan years in Kyoto, one of the most fascinating and beautiful cities in the world.

I practice voluntary simplicity, so my interests tend toward the simple and sustainable. I love to knit and sew, hike and camp, go for walks and do yoga, explore the outdoors with my family, and grow, cook and eat good organic food. 

My teaching style allows for mazimum student talk time. I ask a lot of questions but also encourage students to take the lead in discussions. I believe that learning is optimized in a comfortable learning environment.

Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to sharing my time, skills and experiences with you on Cafetalk!

 

 

こんにちは!私のプロフィールページにアクセスしていただきありがとうございます。私の名前はキルステンです。私はアメリカの美しいワシントン州に住んでいます。私は大学の教師で、20年以上の英語教育の経験があります。現在、地元のコミュニティカレッジで留学生にESLを教えています。 2014年からカフェトークで教えています。

 

私は教育の修士号とアジア研究の学士号を持っています。私は日本語を勉強し、長年日本に住んでいましたが、日本語と日本語の文化に心から感謝しています。ある意味、アメリカ人よりも日本人の方が多いと感じます!私は日本のほとんどの年を、世界で最も魅力的で美しい都市の1つである京都で過ごしました。

 

私は自発的なシンプルさを実践しているので、私の興味はシンプルで持続可能なものに向かう傾向があります。私は編み物や縫製、ハイキングやキャンプ、散歩やヨガをしたり、家族と一緒にアウトドアを探索したり、おいしい有機食品を育てたり、料理したり、食べたりするのが大好きです。

 

私の教授法は、マジマムの学生の会話時間を考慮に入れています。私はたくさんの質問をしますが、学生が率先して議論することも奨励します。快適な学習環境で学習が最適化されると思います。

 

立ち寄ってくれてありがとう!カフェトークで私の時間、スキル、経験を皆さんと共有することを楽しみにしています!

 

Featured Interview

Q. Hi Kirsten! Please tell us a little bit about yourself. A. Hi! I have worn many hats in my life, but these days I am primarily a teacher and a mother. In my younger days I traveled a lot and lived for a time in Japan. I studied Japanese language and culture in college, so after I graduated, I moved to Japan to have a cultural experience and try to advance my language skills. I spent a wonderfu...
