About Me
italki teacher since Dec 17, 2020InterestsMusicArtTravel
Hello, my name is Kaori. I am originally from Japan, but have been living in beautiful Istanbul, Turkey for the past 14 years.
When I moved to Turkey, the only Turkish word I knew was “Merhaba”, which means “hello”. But now I can speak Turkish fluently. Turkish people love to communicate with others so it makes my life more fun!
I can also speak Japanese, English, Russian, Turkish sign language and Farsi.
I enjoy traveling, visiting museums, listening to music, playing the guitar and painting. I also love cats so living in Istanbul is great as there are many friendly cats that share the streets and parks with people here.Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching Japanese at several language schools in Istanbul as well as teaching students privately. I have taught beginner students as well as advanced students who were interested in learning conversation.My lessons & teaching style
In my lesson we will learn grammar based on a text book called, “Minna no Nihongo”, including hiragana, katakana, and kanji.
However, if you are not interested in reading or writing Japanese, I can also teach using the Latin alphabet.
I will also teach you conversational Japanese and we will practice everyday conversation.
If you are studying towards the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test-JLPT, I can also help you with this.My teaching material

We studied new grammar on this lesson which is often used in daily life. Also we had an interesting chat about being surprised about some traditions as we are both foreigners in this country. Kaori San is positive as always!! ありがとうございました😊

I absolutely love my lessons with Kaori-sensei! It's always so much fun and interesting to chat with her about all kinds of topics. She’s really supportive and encourages me to use the grammar we’ve learned, always giving plenty of great examples. I enjoy every lesson!

I had a wonderful review lesson with Kaorisan. We also chatted about current life events and I'm always thankful for Kaorisan's input and her teaching me new vocabulary that is relevant to me. Fun lesson and conversation in Japanese, as always.
