About

Hi, I’m Jóhann Lind Ringsted. I’m based in Sendai, Japan, and I bring a background in information technology and language education, including a B.A. in Japanese Language and Culture and years of classroom and community teaching. I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences, bridging technology and education, and collaborating with students, parents, and colleagues. I’m fluent in English and Icelandic, with conversational Japanese, and I’m always eager to learn and grow in multicultural settings.

In my spare time I love singing and playing music, and I have performed as a musical act at various events. I’m interested in remote, part-time work where I can apply my teaching, communication, and tech skills, while continuing to pursue my passions in music and education.
