StephanieRiann Tutor Profile

日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文

Hello! My name is StephanieRiann, I`m originally from Nova Scotia, Canada but now make my home in Kanagawa, Japan with my Japanese husband. 

I am currently accepting new students who are interested in taking specific kinds of lessons listed below --If you are interested in any of my classes I recommend taking my counselling session class first so we can discuss what you are looking for, and I can advise on which classes will best suit your needs to achieve your learning goals. I am currently teaching:  Singing lessons in English, Reading lessons (with a focus on speaking about the topic, reading aloud articles or novels/short stories together working on expanding vocabulary and working on pronunciation), casual/ relaxed conversation, proofreading etc.   For my customizable classes please contact me in advance before booking or take my counselling class to discuss what you are looking for and if I can help you. 

   I had been teaching English lessons for 3 years (2017-2020) at a leading English school in Japan where I had received extensive training in teaching English.  Currently, I am also doing volunteer work teaching English at my local community centre twice a month here in Japan.  In Canada, I volunteered to help Japanese people in the city of Toronto learn English through daily conversation or help them study for the TOEIC exam.

   I have two undergraduate degrees from Acadia University in Nova Scotia and a Master of Music degree from the University of Ottawa in Canada. I have multiple EP and LP albums available on all digital music retailers sites worldwide (under my former performing name Stephanie Coldwell-Anderson, East n`West Canadian band as lead singer) and my final album Ultralife was released in August 2019.  I`m currently taking a long-term break from performing life and songwriting/arrangement collaborations. I am currently working on a music project that I hope I will be able to share with my Cafetalk community in the coming year. I have been the recipient of a FACTOR/Government of Canada recording grant for my original children's songs on my album entitled ADVENTURER.  I am also a member of SOCAN (the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers) of Canada.  
                           

I have been teaching music — including voice, piano, theory, and songwriting — for over 15 years in Canada. I ran thriving in-home studios in Nova Scotia and Ontario and also taught at the private music school Merriam Music in Toronto. In Canada, I was a Registered Music Teacher with ORMTA (Ontario Registered Music Teachers’ Association).

After moving to Japan, I continued teaching music, combining English and singing, through volunteer work at my local community center until February 2020. I am now continuing my passion for teaching singing through Cafetalk.


  Teaching is one of my greatest passions, and I strive to bring joy to people of all ages through learning music and/or English. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy improving my Japanese, exploring Japanese culture and music, cooking, hiking, traveling, and camping with my husband. (See more pictures below.)



 
  I aim to make my lessons fun and energetic, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. I also believe that if you’re laughing, you’re learning — so let’s have a good time together! Lessons are available immediately or as trial sessions, depending on the student’s preference.

Currently, I offer English and music lessons for all age groups. English lessons are customized by level — Introductory, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced — as well as free talk classes.

Let’s work together as a team and make learning fun!
I look forward to meeting you soon!
