Hello, I'm Koshiro. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I've always found learning languages incredibly fascinating. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of making friends from all corners of the globe, and together, we've enjoyed exchanging and teaching each other our languages. Language isn't just about communication; it's a vibrant part of life that opens doors to new cultures and experiences. During my travels to various countries and teaching experiences in Thailand, I've made a concerted effort to converse with locals in their native tongues, bringing joy to both them and myself. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have!Me as a Teacher
During my four years of teaching experience as a primary school teacher in Thailand, I had the pleasure of instructing Japanese to students aged six to twelve, and occasionally delivering Japanese lectures to my colleagues. Through this, I gained a deep understanding of the challenges of learning new languages—a journey brimming with obstacles and delights. Don't hesitate to reach out with any queries, as together, we can elevate your Japanese proficiency. I possess an array of inventive techniques to ensure learning Japanese is both enjoyable and understandable. Feel free to message me candidly—I'm here to help!My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I prioritize daily Japanese conversations and precise pronunciation. Engaging in dialogue helps to improve both your listening and speaking abilities. If needed, I can supply PDF homework to aid in memorizing Japanese vocabulary and Kanji characters, facilitating retention and writing practice. Remember, everyone begins as a beginner, even in Japanese, and I specialize in teaching primary Japanese. Your preferences and requests are valued, and I'm delighted to customize lessons to meet your requirements. Please don't hesitate to communicate your needs—I'm here to help!My teaching material

Kos is a great tutor, prepares custom materials for lessons, explains things in a way I find super easy to understand - and crucially, is great at adapting to my knowledge (and the many many gaps in it!)

楽しい初めてのレッスンでした。
お互いの短い自己紹介して、そのあと発音とか日本語の難しいところについて。
まだスムーズに話せないのに話しやすい相手で嬉しいです。

Koshiro was very patient and a great conversationalist. He was also very good about typing out the sentences in hiragana so I could have a visual. Will definitely work with him again!

Today Koshiro先生 helped me improve my pronunciation. He prepared reading material before class and we read it together. The feedback was excellent (!) and really helped me notice new aspects I can focus on when I practice. I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their conversation skills or pronunciation!
