Mariko Inoue
My name is Mariko Inoue, a student in Japan who will be graduating from the University of Kitakyushu with a Bachelor's degree in March 2013. I am currently looking for a full-time Japanese teaching position at any level. I am a native Japanese speaker with a little bit of teaching experience as a tutor for junior high and high school students. I am strongly willing to teach Japanese language and Japan's unique culture. I also can speak English and am a passionate person so if I could be a teacher, I would try very hard to give students an enjoyable class so that they will be able to communicate with Japanese speakers, and also to enjoy activities which require Japanese language skill such as reading books, listening to Japanese music or making friends with Japanese people.

Ami Watanabe
I am currently looking for a Japanese teaching position in the Boston area. I would be happy to instruct any level or age from grade school to the university level. I am a native Japanese speaker with strong English skills and teaching experience. I graduated from Kyoto University of Foreign Studies with a BA in British and American Studies in 2008. During high school I spent a year in Alberta, Canada, as part of a student exchange program. For the last four years I've been a teacher and administrator at the EMI Itto School in Osaka, Japan. While there I taught Math, English, Japanese and Social Studies to an average of 15 students per class. The students ranged from elementary to middle and high school ages. I also managed the school's schedule, and financials. With 20 teachers working under me I was responsible for making sure the school ran smoothly everyday. With my language skills, classroom and administrative experience as well as a positive attitude, I believe I can fit into almost any educational environment. Ideally I am hoping for a full-time position which will sponsor a working visa so I can become a legal resident of the United States. You can contact me at: .
