About Me
italki teacher since Jul 13, 2020InterestsReadingEnvironment & NaturePets & AnimalsFoodHistory
Hello, everyone! I currently live in Japan and have taught both Japanese and English for more than 7 years.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in International Relations. I was born in Japan, but moved to Peru where I lived for more than 15 years. I was raised in a multilingual environment, so I fluently speak Standard Japanese, Spanish and English. During my school days, I have studied Korean, French, Mandarin, German, and more, and I have also studied in South Korea as an exchange student for one year. I love reading, learning languages (currently Swedish and Polish), and playing with my dog!
比較言語学に興味があり、様々な言語の違いや共通点を見つけるのが好きです。趣味の読書で原文と訳文を比較したり、様々な媒体を通して、常に「ことば」に敏感でありたいと思っています。Me as a Teacher
I have the passion for learning languages, and I know how difficult it can be to learn a new one, so I can help you overcome those difficulties. I am a dedicated and patient teacher. If you are interested in speaking Japanese, you have found the right person!
Feel free to ask me any questions you have about Japanese, Japan, its culture, its history, anything! I would be more than happy to assist you, and I am also interested in your country, the language you speak, and your culture, so please let me know about yourself in my class.
生徒のレベルに合わせた会話のペースで、新しい単語や表現を紹介したり、発音矯正のお手伝いをします。生徒のやる気を引き出し、日本語での会話を楽しみながら成長できるよう、少しでも力になれたら嬉しいです。My lessons & teaching style
In my class, I will help you improve your Japanese speaking skills through free discussions of various topics adapted to your needs. Regardless of your speaking level, I am here to help improve your skills and boost your confidence. If you are a beginner, we can start from basic grammar.
***Please kindly note that I do not accept lesson requests for children under the age of 12.
***Cancellation policy: If the lesson is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, rescheduling is not possible. If the student does not show for whatever reason, no refund is given.My teaching material

When I started lessons with Watana-san, I couldn't understand any Japanese conversations. After a couple of months of (almost) weekly practice, I can now understand quite a bit. This is a testament to her patience & skill as a mentor. I'm very thankful to have learned a lot from her.

La profesora siempre ha sido amable y clara al explicarme los temas que le he solicitado, ha sabido no solo transmitirme conocimientos a cerca del idioma, sino también a cerca de la cultura y la historia del país, lo cual es un gran aporte para mi, le estoy muy agradecido por su paciencia y cordialidad.

Had a great time in class. Lessons are straight forward and simplified. Fluency in English really makes learning convenient, so if you need an easy way to learn this is the place to go. Whether you’re going for conversation practice or textbook lessons, both routes are proven to be efficient and worthwhile. I recommend it!
