Please feel free to contact me!
Lessons are conducted by Skype or Italki classroom.
Hello! I am Tomomi, a native Japanese speaker who live in Hiroshima, Japan with a husband, two kids and a dog. I like listening to music, reading, traveling, and watching Anime. I have traveled to several counturies. For domestic travel, I LOVE Onsen.
I lived in the U.S. (Omaha, Nebraska) for 5 years (2000-2006) and received a bachelor's degree.
I lived in China (吉林省長春市) for 3 years (2010-2012) and taught Japanese at a University.
Meeting new people and learning new culture are always enjoyable for me!Me as a Teacher
I am a certified Japanese language teacher. I have total 14 years of teaching experience, and I love doing it. Through teaching, I can discover new aspects of my native language, and it is such a pleasure to share that discovery with students.
I also love the moment of "AHA! I got it!" in my students, so I try my best to make things simple, clear, and easy to understand :)
Since this is online, face-to-face lesson, I think it is important for you to speak Japanese as much as you can during the lesson. So I will make sure you will be the one who speaks most of the time.
And of course it's okay to make mistakes!My lessons & teaching style
Anyone from the beginner's level to the advanced (N2-N1) level are welcome.
I would like to make my lessons suitable to your aims and level as much as possible, so I will send you a message when you request the first lesson with me. Please reply me before the lesson so I can be prepared, thank you!
I mainly use textbooks Minna-no-nihongo or GENKI for the beginners. If you would like to use other textbooks, please feel free to ask.
I also can help you to prepare for JLPT tests (N5-N1).
Other things, such as reading articles, debates about some topics, learning new vocaburaries, or just free-talking are all good!
Let's relax and have fun studying together!
