I am interested in translating English to Japanese. I have been employed as a English Coach for Waseda Academy. I believe that the skills and experiences I have gained at this position make me an ideal candidate for such services.

As an English Coach, I have developed strong writing and speaking skills. For example, one of my main duties is to prepare children’s English skills for exams, which deals with issues related to conducting and delivering English skills, which are useful for delivering service to the English/Japanese customer market.

I have also gained extensive experience in my native English skills in my 16 years of staying in the United States – fields that I assume your translators must be familiar with. My experience in San Francisco has afforded me the opportunity to become familiar with the consolidated and unconsolidated cultures of the west, and not just the language. I am always eager to contribute to the western culture, and I would love to bring this passion for to you.

I am confident that my experiences and skills in regards of understanding both the English and the Japanese language as well as the culture qualify me for consideration. I look forward to working with you!
