Hi! I am Saori, live in Hokkaido, Japan.
I like relaxing life and enjoy nature, foods, snowboarding!
Also love travel and love to learn something new.
I am always hungry to know more, Let's talk and learn from each other:)Me as a Teacher
I think "Speaking a lot" is very important to improve languages.
So, I will encourage you to speak a lot.
Also I can help you to give more natural expressions and I am good at teaching pronunciation.
Let's build up phrases that you can use in actual situations!!My lessons & teaching style
・Conversation based
I will encourage you to speak a lot and develop topics.
You can practice natural interaction in conversation.
I will tell you different way of expression and correct pronunciation if needed:)
・Minna no Nihongo -text book based
Studying Japanese basics with my original power point slides and textbook.
We will study structures to expand the range of expression, also do speaking practice a lot.
🦥Please be relaxed and Let's have fun!!🦥My teaching material

I have been taking lessons with Saori on and off for a long time since I was a beginner. She provides are very comfortable atmosphere and is friendly. I'm at the talking stage and she's great at picking up what I'm trying to say and helping me speak more naturally.

This was my very first trial lesson on iTalki and I’m so glad I picked a session with Saori-san! She’s got such a warm personality and made me feel comfortable even though I’m super self-conscious about my Japanese conversation skills. I like that she types phrases I stumble over / had trouble expressing for reference and review, and am looking forward to more classes with her!
