Meet The Teachers
Eri Sensei
Eri sensei (In Japanese, Sensei means teacher, and students call their teachers by their name + the word Sensei or せんせい or 先生) grew up in Japan and moved to the US to study linguistics at the university and has been living here since then. Eri sensei loves to travel to different parts of the world whenever she gets a chance, learns about the different cultures, and tries out local food. She enjoys watching amine, and recently started playing video games; she loves when her students recommend her their favorite anime and games! She truly enjoys teaching Japanese. It makes her so happy when she sees her students get so excited to be able to speak Japanese! For a glimse of Eri sensei's life as a Japanese teacher, check out her youtube channel!
Tsuzuki Sensei
Tsuzuki sensei was born and raised in Japan. She has been teaching Japanese at several universities since she graduated from WSU with a MA in English (TESOL), and has experience teaching students from 5 to 60 years old. She loves teaching and enjoys every minute of it! Tsuzuki-sensei enjoys good food, J-Pop, K-Dramas, shopping and laughing (especially with Japanese comedy shows). She also likes playing piano and reading books in her spare time. However, recently she feels that puzzle games suck up her precious time too much but she cannot quit!
