Extensive experience teaching Japanese in English. Beginner to N3 (ゼロ初級~中級). Pair lesson available! こんにちは!ゆきです。 I was born and raised in Osaka, and now I’m based in Melbourne🦘🐨 Do you have these problems when it comes to studying Japanese? ---------------- "I want to practice speaking Japanese but I don’t feel confident expressing what I want to say correctly." "I'm a complete beginner and don’t know where to start." "I’m interested in taking JLPT but don’t want to study just using a textbook and would like to learn in a fun way while talking with a teacher." ---------------- Then please book a trial lesson with me. I will be your teacher—and your guide on your language learning journey :) One of my strengths as a Japanese teacher is that I can teach in English. Most of my students are from places like the United States, Europe, and Australia, and I use English whenever it helps students understand better. Also my husband is British, so we mainly communicate in English. I would like my students to feel relaxed in my lessons so that they can speak Japanese even more spontaneously. So I always make sure my lessons are fun and not too intense. However, if you’re highly motivated and would like a lot of homework, don’t worry—I can give you plenty 😆 I used to be very shy but I love teaching and enjoy communicating with my students through lessons. Teaching is my passion! I like💛 #travel #gaming #osaka #animals #vtuber #hololive #holostars
