Hi! My name is Maiko Hata. I was born in Osaka, Japan. I grew up in Osaka and went to Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts in Kyoto where I completed my bachelor’s degree in English Communication. After that, I attended Monterey Institute of International Studies for my master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). After completing the program, I worked for Education Consulting International that helps students from Japan. After coming back to Japan, I worked for Senzoku Gakuen Junior College for 2.5 years as a full-time EFL instructor. Then, my husband, Tom, and I moved to Osaka where I started teaching at different universities as a part-time instructor.
On weekends, I love watching movies, swimming, making pottery, and going out with my friends. During vacations, Tom and I travel a lot. We’ve been to London, NY, Arizona, California, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, and New Zealand in the last three years. Also, last year, I did 2 mini-triathlon in New Zealand - that was a lot of fun, too!
I hope you'll enjoy the course. If you would like, please send me your comments at me@maikosensei.com !
