About Victoria
I am a Canadian recently returned from approximately seven years of living abroad in Japan. While there as an exchange student during my undergrad program, I focused solely on Japanese language study, eventually attaining the JLPT N2. After returning after graduation, I worked in the Japanese school system, where I improved my casual Japanese through my employment. As a result, I am very confident in being able to both teach through textbook-based learning and more casual conversation.
After returning from Japan in 2017, I completed my master's studies in Second Language Education at McGill University in Montreal. During my two years there, I worked as a teaching assistant in the beginner Japanese course. Because of my interest in retaining Japanese language students in their journey to learn Japanese, my thesis work focused on how native and non-native instructors of Japanese impact their students' self-efficacy and confidence (hint: there are a lot of positives that come with having a non-native teacher!) I currently work at an English vocational college in Montreal, but I am very interested in continuing to teach and tutor Japanese, as I feel it is a relatively uncommonly spoken language in Montreal, despite its popularity with young people.

My lessons are always tailored to a specific student and their learning goals, so it is difficult to describe a typical class. While I like to follow a textbook (which I provide to students), I also like to bring in realia such as news clips, segments of television shows, music, and much more, though again, this is dependent on student needs.
As for what makes me special, based on my thesis research, my teaching philosophy is that language students, particularly beginners, react positively to interacting with a fellow non-native speaker of the target language. As a result, I find it effective to incorporate my own personal experiences into language lessons to add context and assist those who are considering going to Japan themselves someday. I am also able to help students form superior English-Japanese connections to deepen understanding of the differences and similarities between the two languages. In my experience as a teaching assistant, one comment I heard fairly routinely was that students appreciated being able to speak with someone who had been in their shoes at one point in time, as I was a significantly more attainable figure that they could aspire to be like in the future. While all of this sounds quite self-absorbed, it is something that potential learners of Japanese could and should consider! While native speakers make fantastic tutors, it might be worth considering non-natives as well, particularly if you're just getting started in your studies.
