Hey there! I'm Justin! But you can just call me "Jun" (じゅん)! Let me tell you 10 things about myself!
1.) I was born and raised in the Philippines.
2.) I can speak Japanese! In fact, I'm currently studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (N1)! 日本語が話せます!実は、今日本語能力試験1級のために勉強しています。
3.) I major in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (分子生物学と生物工学)and my research topic is about prostate cancer (卒論の話題は前立腺癌です)(I'm trying to find a cure for it!).
4.) I am the Vice President of a student organization for business and sustainability.
5.) I do a lot of marketing and graphic design for my organizations.
6.) I like Kinoko no Yama more than Takenoko no Sato! (We can still be friends even if you like Takenoko no Sato)
7.) I prefer dogs over cats! I have two cute dogs.
8.) I've been teaching and assisting Japanese exchange students at my university for over a year now.
9.) I'm a very patient tutor! Having studied languages myself, I understand how difficult it must be to learn English. I want to create an environment wherein students would not feel ashamed of themselves for making a mistake. Instead, I want students to feel proud of themselves for trying.
