Hello, it's Kana! I was born and raised in the northern part of Japan, Hokkaido where you can always see beautiful nature and eat delicious food. I love singing, traveling, taking photographs and talking with people. I studied in Iowa, the US as an exchange student in 2016 and worked at a Japanese immersion camp program during the summer break. This experience made me realize how fun and wonderful it is to teach my native language, Japanese and the culture. I also taught English at high school and elementary school in Japan but I'm currently pursuing my passion for teaching Japanese.
こんにちは!かなです。私は日本の北にある北海道で生まれ育ちました。北海道にはきれいな自然とおいしい食べ物がたくさんあります。私は歌うこと、旅、写真をとること、人と話すことが大好きです。
Me as a Teacher
I got qualified to teach Japanese in 2019 and I've been teaching Japanese to people in all over the world online and at a Japanese language school, so I know how to teach Japanese all in Japanese and I also can explain Japanese in English when it's effective. I'm always happy to answer any questions and help you fully understand.
2019年に日本語を教える資格をとり、語学学校、そしてオンラインで世界中の人々に日本語を教えています。すべて日本語で教えることも、必要であれば英語で説明することもできます。どんな質問でも大歓迎です。理解できるよう、ていねいに説明します!
My lessons & teaching style
-conversation practice with any topics you like (ex. culture, travel, language, music, studying abroad...)
-practice Japanese with textbooks you have (Minna no Nihongo I.II, Genki I.II, Dekiru Nihongo I.II)
★Please let me know what you want to learn and use by at least three days before so that I can get fully prepared for our lesson!
If you want me to correct your grammar mistakes, pronunciation, and accents, please let me know! I think talking with a native speaker is the best way to get that feedback and it helps you to learn how to talk more naturally and you can get more confidence in speaking!

I always enjoy taking lessons with Kana-sensei! The style and environment really encourages me to use grammar and vocabulary that I'm not fully confident with, allowing me to make mistakes and learn the corrections. Every lesson feels like it builds on top of the last and I can see my steady improvement under Kana's teaching as a result!

I’ve done about 30 lessons with Kana by now and I can tell you she is a really great teacher. She is great at explaining grammar, she easily adapts lessons based on my learning style, she encourages me with her positive attitude and I also get to learn fun details about Japanese culture. These lessons are definitely among my highlights of the week. Highly highly recommended!

Kana sensei is a really fantastic teacher ! She prepares lots of extra practice to help you remember new grammar and vocabulary. My Japanese has improved so much since I started taking her classes, and I am much more motivated to study after class. Her lessons are really fun too, I always look forward to our lessons! I highly recommend ☺️
