講師詳細Teacher's Details

Hello!

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. I look forward to having an fun and engaging conversation with you! 😊

I am not in any way fluent in Japanese, but 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.

Due to my fulltime-instructor responsibilities and master's degree studies, I will only be able to open during weekdays and my schedule is highly subject to change. You can use your daily points if you book a few days in advance. Otherwise, you'll be using your regular points. 

See you! 🤍🥰

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Jim Nathan.

I'm from Mindanao, Philippines. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and I currently work as a fulltime Psychology instructor at a local college. Below are the subjects I teach there:

Formerly:

- Developmental Psychology 

- Positive Psychology

- Abnormal Psychology

Currently:

- Theories of Personality

- Understanding the Self

Upcoming:

- Psychological Assessment

I am currently working on my master's degree in Psychology.

I have seven (7) years of online teaching experience. I tend to focus on pronunciation, natural flow of sentences, and providing alternative ways to express your thoughts.

As someone who has tried learning another language before, I know it is often challenging but ultimately 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 formally 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!

SEE YOU IN CLASS SOON!

Here are some photos showing what I have been up to recently!

The photo below was taken when I was chosen to be one of the representatives of the Psychology department to join a National Book Fair along with fellow college faculty. (Images blurred for privacy)

This photo was taken after I gave a seminar to Psychology students about the importance of Positive Communication. I'm proud to say that out of 200 students taking up the psychology program, a good majority of them joined this learning experience.  (Images blurred for privacy)

This photo was taken during one of the pre-internship seminars of our senior psychology students. I gave the welcome adress for their seminar aimed at teaching them about Recruitment and Human Resource practices for their internship, as well as how to ace their job application once they graduate.
