私のレッスンでは、教科書を使ったレッスンがメインですが、日本語の会話レッスンも可能です。初めて日本語を勉強する人も大丈夫です。教科書はげんきかまるごとという教科書を使います。
I offer lessons on italki only during summer (until August 31). My lessons are suitable for people who want to study Japanese only during the summer or have previously studied Japanese and want to review during the summer break.
I use textbooks in my lessons (Genki or Marugoto), but I can also offer lessons focusing on everyday conversations. Students who have never learned Japanese are also welcome! I am comfortable teaching your classes both in English and Japanese.My teaching material

Since the beginning of last year I've tried almost a dozen online Japanese tutors and Mina is by far the best. She has professional credentials and more importantly the enthusiasm to back it up.
What has impressed me the most about Mina is her considerate approach not only during lessons but also in between lessons. She grades homework in a timely manner and her feedback is always concise and helpful. Highly recommended.
