Minna-san Konnichiwa!
I am Ricky Jamora from Australia and I am here to make your time learning English a fun, relaxing and valuable one.
Without further adue, here is a little bit about me. I am mainly of mix race, Hawai'ian-Mexican, and have grown up in different countries such as United States, Spain, New Zealand and Australia due to my father's job.
Recently, in Australia I use to work for an international travel wholesale company in the finance area. I love to travel and experience new cultures and have travelled to many places around the world, mostly as a child and would not hesitate to visit those places again now that I am an adult.
I am also a musician - lead vocalist/songwriter/guitar player/vocal training teacher. I use to perform in Australia at bars, restaurants and clubs with my old band members and also teach private lessons to future singers.
Now I am currently with a Hawai'ian band here in Japan as their new lead vocalist. As part native Hawai'ian it is in my blood to love the beach and surfing.
There are some great waves in Hawai'i and Australia and I always look forward to when summer comes. I also am looking forward to my first ever summer in Japan which I hear is quiet an unforgetably 'hot' experience.

Japan is probably the most interesting and enjoyable place that I have travelled to so far and I have been here a few times before on holiday and business. It is so steeped in history and culture.
I have to admit, the food is absolutely delicious and yes, I am one of those rare foreigners that love to eat natto for it's health benefits.

As an IHCWAY teacher I find that when teaching anything whether it be music/singing or english, both student and teacher must have the same passion to teach and learn and engage in the lesson enthusiatically. As a musician, listening and communication skills are very important, so should it be with english - don't rush, be motivated, listen, listen, listen, understand and of course practice out loud because as they say 'Practice makes Perfect'

I hope every lesson with you will be fun filled with excitement and valuable learning and that I can help you improve on your english greatly.

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.
