About Me
italki teacher since Jan 28, 2021Interest topicTravelAnimation & ComicsSports & FitnessFashion & BeautyFilms & TV Series
I was born and raised in Japan, currently residing in Fukuoka. Three years has passed since I became a Japanese teacher. Before that, I spent many years working in the service industry. Now, I can teach you the proper use of honorific language. However, I'm not just about serious teaching; I'm a fun-loving person who enjoys joking around and engaging in deep conversations. In my spare time, I love assisting international customers in person. This experience broadens my perspectives and motivates me to learn other languages from scratch, and also enhances my teaching. I believe my ability to inject humor and engage in meaningful discussions adds a unique dimension to my teaching approach.
Me as a Teacher
<Certification>
・420 hour Japanese Teacher's Course
・Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test
3 years have just passed since I became a Japanese teacher.
If you take a conversation practice lesson, any level is okay.
I'm happy to help with your Japanese for you to be able to speak Japanese.My lessons & teaching style
"Enjoy Japanese" Let's work up a good sweat by speaking a lot.
For general : I will teach you the "GENKI textbook", with which you can learn the Japanese language and culture.
Basically, the textbook is not opened during the lesson.
After the lesson, we send you feedback and give a small test for confirmation.
My lessons are efficient, which saves your time and gives you more time to speak by preparing and reviewing your lessons.
I encourage you and help you make sentences on your own with the grammar you learned.My teaching material

Mika-sensei is a great teacher! I’ve done many lessons with her and she’s always very encouraging and patient with me. We do some free talk and some grammar based on the genki books, I feel like I was able to improve a lot of because of her! ありがとうございます🙂

To the three pillars of teaching excellence – Mastery, Clarity, and Empathy – Mika Tokunaga adds a fourth: Joy. Her joy for helping students learn Japanese is exuberant, infectious, and truly inspiring.

I've been taking lessons with Mika-Sensei for three years now! It's amazing how time flies. I've been super busy with my college work as I am nearing the end of my degree program but I still love to try and make time to take Japanese lessons with Mika-Sensei and get that practice in whenever I can. It's always so much fun learning new words and phrases! Once I graduate from college, I fully plan on devoting much more of my time to learning and studying Japanese with Mika-Sensei!
