ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Jim Nathan.

I'm from the southern island of Mindanao, in a city nearby the tallest mountain in the country.

I have a bachelors in psychology and I'm interested in peoples thoughts and behaviors. I worked for some time with a psychological services center. I hope to be a psychologist in the future. I'm currently a Psychology and General Education instructor at a local college.

With my seven (7) years of teaching experience, I tend to focus on pronunciation, natural flow of sentences, and providing alternative ways to express your thoughts. I know learning a language is often challenging but rewarding. I've tried learning French and Russian (a very short time of study), Korean (passively learning from Korean entertainment), and Japanese (passively learning from anime and a little bit of self-study). I plan to contionue studying them formall at some point.

I LOVE to read. Please tell me your favorite books and give some recommendations!

I enjoy watching videos online. They're a good way to pass the time and even learn a few particular skills and ideas.

I LOVE music. Please tell me your favorite song and/or artist/group/band! I'd appreciate if you give some recommendations too!Q

LESSONS

I am able to handle most lesson materials I've made available on my profile. However, I do ask that if you're a beginner or a young learner, please indicate the lesson material you want. If you're unsure, please include in the lesson request the skills you want to focus on.

If you're still uncertain, then we can do a free conversation. We will talk about any topic that come up and proceed from them, going deeper or discussing related topics.

While I'm no way fluent in Japanese, I can understand some words/phrases and use them to help you better understand the lesson. However, I use online translation services at times to get the point across—apologies beforehand for the bad grammar and awkward sentence structure and word-choices.

SEE YOU IN CLASS SOON!

Below are some of my latest photos.

I'll add a few others relevant to my hobbies and hometown later!
