ðļðļðļAbout Sumikoðļðļðļ
ðļBorn and raised in Japan
ðļI am a Japanese born in Nara City, Nara Prefecture.
ðļI live in the suburbs of Milan, Italy.
ðļI speak Japanese, English and Italian.
ðļI can teach Kansai dialect, also.
ðļ Graduated from the Department of English Literature, Faculty of Letters, Doshisha University, Japan
ðļ Qualified as a piano instructor
ðļ Lived in the US for 5 years, lived in Italy for 15 years
\ðļ Graduated from university
ðļ From childhood until graduation from high school, I was aiming to join the piano section of a music college, but
ðļ 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.
ðļWhen 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.
ðļAfter graduating from university, I worked as an employee at a partially listed company (Mitsubishi Group Leasing Company), and then ðļDropped out of Irvine Valley College in California, USA.
ðļI married my Italian husband, whom I met in America. ðļAfter getting married in Italy, I moved to America and lived there for about 5 years, including my student days.
ðļI 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.
ðļAfter 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.
ðļAt the same time, I taught English and Japanese to those who requested it. ðļIn 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.
ðļI 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. ðļAt AT, I offer English classes focusing on grammar for Japanese students, and Japanese language classes for foreigners. ðļCurrently, 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.
ðļI also really enjoy teaching Japanese to advanced level students. ðļI obtained the first grade of the Practical English Proficiency Test during my university days.
ðļ I scored 542 on the TOEFL when I studied abroad in the United States.
ðļ I took the Kawai Piano Instructor Grade test and passed the practical exam.
ðļI 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.
ðļI 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.
