Hello! My name is Ediliana but you can call me Edi! I was born in the Dominican Republic but raised in New York City. During university, I studied Asian studies and international relations and mainly focused on studying Japanese and Japanese culture. I had the opportunity to study in Nagasaki as an exchange student for a year! It was such a great experience and I knew I wanted to return to Japan to stay longer. In 2018, I returned to Japan and started teaching English at an Eikaiwa where I taught children and adults. Currently , I am teaching English at a nursery school. I can speak both Spanish and English.

My lesson style:  I am very relax and flexible. I am very patient and will calmly follow your pase. I will match  how I teach depending on your preference and the pase you would like me to go at! My strength include correcting pronunciation, improving punctuation, increasing vocabulary , and discussion on all types of topics. I love discussing about news, history, and politics, so if you are interested in improving your discussion or debating skills, I am here to help you ! If you just want to improve your overall daily conversation , I can support you with that as well. 


I am very excited to share my culture and knowledge. I Look foward to talking with you! 


Hobbies : I love food !  I often visit coffee shops and enjoy trying new types of coffee and sweets. I often visit a coffee shop near my home. This cafe is right next to the ocean , so you can see a beautiful view. My favorite meal is their Vietnamese sandwiches . They are so delicious. 
I also love trying new foods from around the world. I especially love spicy food ! These days I often eat korean and thai food.

Interest: I really like music and often listen to it everyday. These days I listen to disco and soul music. My favorite artist these days is Donna Summer. Her voice is amazing (:
(My favorite Japanese artist these days is Yamashita Tatsuro! )
I also really enjoy traveling to the country side in Japan. My favorite place in Tohoku is Tsuruoka City in Yamagata. The ocean sunset is so beautiful and there are a lot of beautiful mountains as well. I recommend trying the seafood !
