About Me

I am a British Canadian who is currently completing a Ph.D. in anthropology based at the University of Toronto. I have a passion for learning and teaching and would love to help others master my native language, English. Besides being able to speak Japanese and Nepali at a basic level, I have a passion for Classical Sanskrit, Chinese, Latin, and other languages.

Currently, I am living in Kamakura, Japan where I am currently a research fellow. I have experience teaching English as a second language as a private tutor, as well as various topics in the humanities. While my primary area of instruction is English, I would be happy to expand into other areas as well as students are interested.

Personal hobbies of mine include playing the guitar, the Sanshin, drawing, reading, writing poetry, and non-fiction. I have a passion for Japanese cinema and literature. Please feel free to discuss various topics with me.
