InterestsTravelArtMedical & HealthcareScienceFood
Hello! My name is Risa. I was born in Tokyo, so I speak standard Japanese. After I had worked as a jewellery designer for 20 years, I started teaching Japanese in 2020. In my free time, I study physics as a student at the Open University in the UK and I also enjoy swimming, doing yoga and cooking. Especially, I love cooking cuisines from all over the world. Please share your country's dish recipes with me!
こんにちは、りさと申します。東京生まれです。2020年からitalkiで日本語を教えています。レッスンでは、私が先生という立場ながら、皆さんから色々な知識や経験をシェアしていただくことが多く、「私が生徒みたいだな〜!」と思う場面がよくあります(笑)。私も皆さんに日本の文化や面白い経験を伝えられるよう、日々頑張ります。
*Between 2020 and 2024, I donated the lesson fees for 300 of my classes to Malala Fund. Thank you so much for taking my classes!

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese professionally for over 4 years. I completed the Japanese education course online. I specialise in 1:1 classes and I have significant experience teaching intermediate students. I will work with pre-intermediate students who only speak everyday conversation and develop their range so that they can speak on different topics such as social problems, science and art.
My classes will be fun and relaxing and also focus on your progress. I believe in students studying proactively, not me telling students what to do. I am a facilitator rather than an instructor and I guide you in my classes while you work it out for yourself.
My lessons & teaching style
If it is possible, I recommend using a textbook from my list and taking classes twice a week. The rate of improvement is quite different compared to once a week lessons! I give homework as much as you want and you can contact me on chat seven days a week at any time. So, don't leave the part you don't understand until the next lesson: ask me questions and accelerate your independent learning.
