Camellia Japanese
Half way around the globe, Japan is a beautiful, and exciting country. While I was growing up people would ask me about samurais and ninjas. It was kind of funny how Americans perceived Japan. I definitely was one of the kids that loved anime, and Japanese food. After all the years of growing up it seems as though Japan has made it`s remark within culture and language. Bring your interest, and knowledge about Japan, and we will have fun!

Camellia ESL
This is where I began. Teaching ESL is my true passion. Growing up bilingual in Japan gave me a great opportunity to teach ESL to Japanese. My sister and I started a language school while I was in Japan during my undergraduate years, and enjoyed teaching adults and children. Learning ESL in America is the real deal! How fortunate are you to be able to learn and use the language at the same time! I hope the best of your language learning, and outcome.
