Hello! I’m Seika, a professional Japanese teacher.
I was born and raised in Tokyo, so I speak standard Japanese.
I can speak English and Korean and am currently still learning these languages.
I really like learning new languages because it gives me a chance to find a new world.
Hence, I decided to teach Japanese to those who are interested in Japan, Japanese culture and Japanese language through italki.
Nice to meet you. I’m looking forward to talking with you!
안녕하세요! 세이카입니다.
저는 도쿄에서 나고 자라서 표준어로 이야기해요.
저는 대학생 때부터 한국어 공부하기 시작하고 지금 일상회화정도는 할 수 있게 되는데 그 과정이 정말 재미있고 행복한 시간이었어요. 그리고 재밌게 공부를 하는 방법도 찾았어요.
그래서 italki에서 저의 경험을 살려서 재밌게 일본어 공부할수 있는 수업을 하고 싶다고 생각했어요.
편하게 이야기하면서 재미있는 시간 같이 보내요~!!

Since I am back from Japan, I am even more happy to have the lessons with Seika. Her classes giving me a good structure and motivation for the studying, especially when there are other responsibilities at the same time. She is very understanding but also tries to make you progress without any pressure. For me it is a good way to get motivation. Also that I am able to have conversations with her helps me so much. It is always nice talking to her. And I learn and laugh a lot with her. Luckily she is correcting my sentences as well and write down the correct ones so I can check them and practice, which is super useful. She is doing this in a very kind way, so I never felt ashamed to just talk. Which I usually do, but she makes me feel very comfortable. At the moment we are working on passing the JLPT N2, and she is helping me a lot. I can just recommend her classes! ✨🌸

My first class with Seika sensei was great! She tailored her speech to my level, and had prepared materials in advance to continue with where I had been learning with a previous tutor. She wrote all corrections in a Google document, and highlighted key points within the vocabulary and grammar we studied together. Her explanations are very clear, and she ensures I am speaking a lot during the class to build upon that skill. Her Korean and English abilities are also excellent. I'm so happy I found Seika sensei, and look forward to studying together. 今日はありがとうございました :)

아이토키에서 지금까지 총 4명의 선생님들과 수업 해봤는데, 그중에서 가장 맘에 드는 수업이라 패키지 끊고 정착했어요!!
친구같은 편안한 분위기, 몰랐거나 틀리게 쓴 단어 혹은 문법 실시간 피드백, 자연스러운 대화 유도 등 정말 만족합니다 ㅎㅎ
추가적으로 일본에서 쓰이는 단어나 말 등을 알려줘서 더 알아가는 게 많은 수업인 거 같아요!
무엇보다 한국어를 하실 수 있다는 게 가장 큰 장점! 수업은 일본어로 진행됩니다만 중간중간 모르는 단어를 한국어로 알려주셔서 더 확실히 알아갈 수 있어요 ㅎㅎ
先生今日もありがとうございました😉

I am very happy I found Seika, she is really helping me a lot with my studies.
Her explanations and the structure of her classes are very helpful. And she is putting a lot of effort into her classes. Even after classes she is answering questions, and helping with homework. Even when there are spontaneous questions and request, she is helping out and be very flexibel and tries to match the classes best to your needs. I really like talking to her, it’s like talking to a friend and because of her I am slowly able to have deeper conversations. It’s a very nice atmosphere and I am always looking forward to my lessons 🌸☺️

I added another lesson per week with Seika to prepare for upcoming job interviews, because I plan to do an internship in Japan. We added another lesson of talking and practicing an interview situation to study specific grammar and vocabulary. She is very creative and flexible and just adjusted everything to my goals. Her lessons have a very good structure so it is easy to learn and communicate with her, which makes it so much more comfortable to practice speaking in general. She always gives you the chance to talk and explain yourself and helps you to express it correctly. We are also studying for the JLPT, sometimes the grammar can be very similar but she has good ways to explain the differences and it is always very helpful to hear her explanation und sentences to understand it better. I am very happy with my lessons and would recommend her as a teacher :)
