Instructor Tsuzuki Sensei
Tsuzuki sensei was born and raised in Japan. She has been teaching Japanese at several universities since she graduated from WSU with a MA in English (TESOL), and has experience teaching students from 5 to 60 years old. She loves teaching and enjoys every minute of it! Tsuzuki-sensei enjoys good food, J-Pop, K-Dramas, shopping and laughing (especially with Japanese comedy shows). She also likes playing piano and reading books in her spare time. However, recently she feels that puzzle games suck up her precious time too much but she cannot quit!
