Hey guys! It is Aiko with Schwagirl. I am an American English pronunciation coach.
Welcome to my podcast "The Voice of English" Season 2.
Season 2 focuses more on communication. In each episode, I bring a guest and he/she will give us tips to become a better communicator as a person who speaks English as a second language.
In Episode 21, I invited Ayumi Tachikawa based in California.
Ayumi Tachikawa: Born in Japan and immigrated to the U.S. at the age of five with her family. At the age of seven, she moved to San Diego, California and attended both American high school and Japanese school on Saturdays, while playing competitive piano. In 2016, she received a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (World Politics and Diplomacy concentration) and Japanese minor. During her junior year of college, she studied abroad in Switzerland for a year. After graduation, she moved back to San Diego, where she worked at Feeding San Diego, Club Z Tutoring, and and eventually landed her managerial position at Catholic Charities. She has been tutoring and mentoring students of varying ages for more than seven years helping to improve their English reading and writing skills and in turn giving them more confidence in both their academic and personal lives. Her mission is to empower students with a Japanese background to feel confident in themselves by helping them improve their English and gain life-long study skills to succeed in college and career.
