About Me
italki teacher since Jul 20, 2021InterestsFoodWritingTravel
Hello! I'm Riho :)
I was born and raised in Nagasaki prefecture, but currently I live in the UK on a working holiday visa. Before coming to the UK, I worked on a flower farm for five years, so I know a bit about flowers. I've spent the past four years studying English by myself. In my free time, I like making all kinds of things. In my spare time I do a lot of woodwork, cooking, drawing, and painting.
Unlike most other Japanese people, I haven't travelled very much and corona hasn't helped much. I'm looking for places to visit while I'm in the UK so if you know anywhere that might be of interest, please let me know!Me as a Teacher
I have unofficially taught Japanese for two years, and self-taught English for four years so I know that it's difficult to make progress in a language without some outside help and so I'm here to be your support. By talking to a native speaker, you will be able to improve your Japanese. Many people have told me that I am quite easy to talk to, so I'm also hoping that we can be friends.My lessons & teaching style

I worked intensively for 4 months with Rihoさん from 0 to prepare for a trip in Japan. Needless to say she played a huge part in helping me achieve a functional conversational level in an incredibly short amount of time. She is a positive spirit, encouraging, fun, friendly, patient, and flexible, everything you could want in a 日本語先生！Thank you so much Rihoさん！！！

Riho-san is an excellent teacher! Our sessions are always fun - we have a good rapport and Riho-san is a cheerful and encouraging person. Not just fun, they are also properly educational - Riho-san upholds the teacher role well, carefully catching my mistakes, and always challenging me to improve my weaker areas. I had not spoken with a native speaker before this, and already after ~10 hours I feel that my confidence and skill have improved dramatically. Thank you Riho-san!
