皆さんとお話しする日を楽しみにしています！:)Me as a Teacher
Hello guys! こんにちは! Hola a todos! I'm Marina. I speak Japanese, English, and some Spanish, so I can also teach the person who doesn't know Japanese at all.
In my class, I would like you to have fun speaking and understanding Japanese in a daily conversation. For example , I can help you to understand Japanese anime, cartoons, Japanese drama or any part of Japanese culture that you like. Otherwise we can talk about the recommendation of Japanese food, Music, tourist attractions, etc...
I will try to find more engaging ways to teach Japanese only for you through our conversation. Therefore, please let me know what type of class you would like to have.
どんな話題でお話しがしたいか、予めお知らせください！：）My lessons & teaching style
Since I liked the practical way of studying language through listening to music, singing at Karaoke, watching movies and series, and imitating the conversation, talking to people in person, etc...
I will give you some enjoyable implements for learning Japanese. We generally practice standard daily conversation, through such as anime or cartoon contents, dramas, Japanese movie subtitles, maybe sometimes textbooks, or just talking practice in person with me.
Please let me know what type of anime, music, movie or anything subject you are interested in.
Otherwise I will give you my recommendation.
Example 1: One student likes Naruto enjoys learning Japanese through reading and watching it.My teaching material

Thanks Marichan for a great, fun, and educational lesson. I enjoyed role playing as a customer in a Sushi restaurant. I know this will come in handy when I eventually go to Japan on Vacation. Thanks again, see you next class!

Marina is really easy to talk to and cool about customizing lessons to whatever you're into. Her lessons flow nicely, compared with other teachers there aren't as many awkward moments where the communication barrier slows things down. This is due to Marina's excellent English that allows for less time in the lesson spent with the dictionary or trying to explain what you don't understand and more time spent improving your Japanese!
10/10 would recommend!

First lesson was great and Mari did a great job at evaluating my current level and not making it either too easy nor hard. Her english is pefect so if you have any difficulties while talking in japanese there will be no problem at all explaining them in english. Will fo sure be taking more lessons :)

Marina's the best! Always super fun and engaging. And I really get a good workout with my Japanese - we talk about all kinds of topics and it challenges me to stretch my vocabulary a lot. Thanks Marichan!

I've taken a few classes with Marina-sensei now and each time It's always fun to learn new things. I enjoy being able to add on new concepts to form more complex and conplete sentences. Just a few weeks ago I wouldnt have been able to do any of this, so thank you so much!
