About Jamie A.

Peace & Greetings to everyone.

I am known as "J.", "Jamila", and Jamie. By whichever name you know me, the story is still the same. And, the story is...

I lived, studied & worked in Japan for two (2) years through the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET Programme). Living in Japan working in 3 Japanese public high schools as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT), I gained experience in interactive, student-focused teaching and learning. In other words, I learned how to make learning active & fun by creating lesson plans that enabled & encouraged speaking, as well as the strengthening of listening skills.

The teaching and cultural skills I gained in Japan is what I bring to Japanese language classes. And, although I'm new to this website and it's platform, I strive to do what I've been doing elsewhere, which is make learning Easy, Entertaining, and Effective.
