  I am an English teacher specializing in ESL/EFL currently working as a business English instructor. I also do freelance work as a Japanese-to-English translator and private tutor. Now that I have transitioned back into regular full-time employment

  I have less time for side projects

  but I would be willing to hear offers for translation

  localization or copyediting projects that can be completed from my location.
