自 己 紹 介
A wonderful day dear students!
My name is Teacher Tobey. ^_^
Nice to meet you here!
I am what's called a Japanophile.
It means I love Japanese culture and its people! <3 <3 <3
At my university, I took up International Studies because I love learning about geography, world cultures, peoples and especially, their languages.
My TOEIC score is 955/990.
I have taught English for more than two
years now, from kids to adults and to the elderly. And I must say, the Japanese personality is very endearing to me. I'm so delighted to have met and befriended many Nihonjin because it has been my childhood dream to have many Japanese friends. This is why I'm also studying Nihonggo.
My dream in the future is to become a successful Anison and J-Pop singer and also a mangaka! In my free time, I rehearse a lot of English and Japanese songs. I also write and develop my own stories and characters so that in the future, I can get published in Shonen Jump Magazine! :-O
My style in teaching English is very cheerful, energetic and omoshiroii!
And if you have difficulty in speaking, that's alright, because I can speak a little Japanese. I can guide you to learning English the easy and fun way, so "Hazukashii garanaide ne?" ^_^
I am looking forward to meet you soon!
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :-D
Thank you so much, Tobey.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I bought a smart phone for my children last Sunday.
The smartphone has basic functions which are talking, sending/receiving messages and camera.
It does not have web browsing or any other Apps.
Of course, the monthly fee for using it is not expensive, it is only approximately 190 PHP.
So I'm a little concerned that my kids might complain about the very simple smartphone.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Top U.S. & World Headlines" that you kindly selected on 27 Feb. 2025.
Even NHK reported the latest activities of President Trump, but some of the videos in the channel "The video of Democracy Now!" have not been reported in Japan.
According to yesterday's NEWS, there were arguments in the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy. They failed to negotiate.
Many people judge him to be a competent businessman, but not a politician from the point of view of other nations.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class as always from the the topic about computer security that you kindly selected on 20 Feb. 2025.
I thought that a Spyware covertly may be working in your PC. It sometimes brings unexpcted behavior.
In addition, it would not be easy to remove it esplecially for casual users.
For that reason, The best solution I recommend is that you purchase a new PC , because it does not have any suspicious application softwares.
Of course, you can do factory reset on your PC or buy older model PC with cheap price.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always from the the topic about "Computer Security" that you kindly selected on 12 Feb. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I allow our company to access the laptop because our company lends it to me for work use for security reasons. For example, the company has a duty to prevent an employee's PC from being infected with a computer virus.
So I don't put any personal information on it.
On the other hand, social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and X obtain our personal information in return of our use of their services for free.
I have accounts of the major social media , whereas I never enter my exact information such as name, address, occupation, etc.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the video "Cyber Crime and Hunting Cyber Criminals" that you kindly selected on 10 Feb. 2025.
I have experience of IT engineer, but I'm not confident to protect completely from any threats, because the trap is becoming more complicated, such as fishing mail, disguised web sites, it would be impossible for ordinary users to distinguish genuine sites and fake sites nowadays.
Our company deploys endpoint security software that is much greater than anti-virus software.
The endpoint security software always monitors employees' PCs and even small changes of inside of the PC will be detected, the effectiveness is intense, but the cost is quite high.
For individual users, I doubt that the software is worth it in terms of the cost.
To prevent this, I personally set very strong passwords, never click on suspicious links, and so on.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the YouTube video "Japanese work culture is unsustainable" that you kindly selected on 5 Feb. 2025.
I was a little surprised to see this video because it accurately describes Japanese work culture even from a foreigner's point of view.
The basis of the bizarre culture is mainly the pressure to conform.
However, I agree with the idea that this culture will end sooner or later for the following reasons.
1) The current stubborn workers will retire or die out after a few decades.
2) The new mindset that the Japanese work culture is obsolete is gradually spreading among young workers.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the YouTube video "The Dark Future of iPad Kids" that you kindly selected on 27 Jan. 2025.
I admit that tablet PCs, such as Apple iPad, are useful digital devices.
However, the devices can be detrimental to children because it robs them of precious time.
Nowaday, Tablet PCs have a parental control feature to regulate available hours and harmful content.
So, parents should turn on the function. I enable the function for the reasons.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the YouTube video "What is DEI and what is Trump’s order?" that you kindly selected on 24 Jan. 2025.
The first day of the new US president, Donald Trump was reported as a top news in Japan.
According to the news, he signed many presidential decrees to invalidate existing ordinaces and rules.
(I suppose that even a president cannot invalidate existing US laws.)
He also showed disagreement with DEI (Diversity Equity Inclusion), his desicion can badly affect employment.
For many Japanese companies, the DEI concept has been popularized, but I suspect that his decision may affect the companies badly.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
