    About Mike V.

    Japanese has always been my passion ever since I was a child. Now I run a small Japanese consulting business (Simple Gaijin) and have now moved into the Japanese language teaching field. I am a former JET Program ALT (Hokkaido) and English teacher (Chiba), but I've been tutoring Japanese for a little over six years now ever since I was in college. I am functionally fluent in the language, and conduct business in Japanese on a daily basis with my coworkers.
