Q: Where are you from?

I amFrom Ulaanbaatar, the capital of MongoliaIt is.

Ulaanbaatar has modernized quite a bit over the past decade, but the area where I live now still retains its old-world charm, and I really like it because there’s so much interesting architecture.

I think Mongolia’s greatest charm and natural beauty lie in the countryside, with its blue skies and vast grasslands, but even so, I’m very proud to call Ulaanbaatar my home.

Q: What have you learned so far?

I majored in political science at Waseda University, where I took classes primarily in English.

Since teaching at GLI was my first experience in education, I really grew to appreciate the unique teaching methods used there, and my time there allowed me to grow significantly as a teacher.

I also obtained a TEFL certificationI’ve been doing this, and I’m still learning and honing my skills every day.

(*Note: TEFL stands for “Teaching English as a Foreign Language” and refers to the methodology of teaching English as a foreign language to non-native speakers.)

Q: How do you interact with children who feel insecure about English or who are nervous?

For students who are feeling anxious or lack confidence, I start by making them smile so they feel that “it’s okay to be here,” and then help them get used to the environment little by little.

Convey that effort is more important than results, that it’s perfectly fine to make mistakes, and that failure is part of the learning process.I want you to feel that way.
