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

Today we had a great lesson learning new vocabulary and talking about autumnal things. I'm very grateful to Kaorisan for always being cheerful and patient.

I had a wonderful lesson with Kaorisan as always, I'm very thankful that she teaches me in a way that engages me, and she always lets me speak about daily life, which is good practice. I'm super excited to study more intensely before I go back to Japan in December. Thank you Kaorisan!
