Me as a Teacher
Most of my students have been taking my lessons since I became a teacher. As you can see from my students’ reviews, I am patient and friendly.
I would like to communicate well with my students, so we have free talk in the beginning of my class. I really enjoy to hear what my students did or will do. When my students struggle to speak, I give hints and time to find correct words while showing a lesson memo. I believe in students' abilities and let them think more by themselves rather than just repeating answers I tell. I believe this helps students improve their Japanese!
Teaching job makes me happy every day! I am really happy to become a Japanese teacher!
I love to meet new people.
My lessons & teaching style
Studying with fun is the most important thing to improve your Japanese!
Studying under pressure isn’t fun at all!
So please don’t lees nervous in my class and talk like friends!
I do not want to push you to learn grammar hard, so we will go through a textbook at your pace in the Basic Japanese lesson.
In my lesson, I always take a memo for you. My students say it’s helpful when they review the lessons. Also, we have vocabulary quiz and kanji quiz if you want!

Teacher’s pick
Kanako is always very encouraging, patient and explains the grammar really clearly.
Furthermore, her memos serve as a useful protocol of each lesson and help me review the content on my own. Many teachers do not provide memos so this is a real advantage of Kanako’s lessons. Kanako is meticulous and dedicated in her approach - I would strongly encourage you to take lessons with her! 😊

Kanako îs a fantastic instructor! She really listens to my needs and what I would like to learn from our lessons. She is very helpful, kind and understanding! She is very knowledgable and explains things in a way that is easy to understand and remember. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese or who wants to practice their Japanese!

After finishing Genki 1 together, I have to say that Kanako-san is a great teacher who helped me improve a lot.
She has helped me become much less shy when speaking and to learn more effectively overall.
I highly recommend taking her lessons!

Has always been very patient and lets you figure things out for yourself, giving you a push in the right direction if needed. Homework is always doable and she is quick to mark it! She encourages a bit of small talk at the beginning to get you in the swing of things. Lessons have always been fun! Perfect for shy people. 今まで本当にありがとうございました!

Kanako Sensei is one of the best teachers that I have worked with on Italki or in a classroom. She has very interactive lessons, and seems to understand exactly how to explain why I am confused and how to approach the language in a slightly different way. She is extremely knowledgable, and is always prepared. I work hard in the lesson, and also have fun. Slowly, Japanese is starting to make sense. Thank you Sensei.
