I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in the Japanese
language from the University of Osaka and a master’s degree in teaching at Boston University. When I pursued my bachelor's, I did an internship as a translator at a digital media company called ABCD News for six months. After finishing my master's, I worked as a Japanese
teacher at Jackson High School for three years. In my previous job, I was responsible for educating and instructing children.
The Language Institute of Kyoto has a high-standard institute with a good reputation. I believe that my experience with Japanese
, specifically in teaching, makes me the best match for this
position I truly enjoyed what I was doing, which is what drew me to this
position with your company. Please let me know if you need any other information. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
