【にほんご・にちじょうかいわ】はじめましてのかおあわせ 日本語講師歴10年以上と開業経験と知識で真心を込めた対応や、接し方、悩みや努力に寄り添いながら一人一人に応じる事ができます。加えて救急救命、普通二種、ボランティア、障害者講習、心理学や介護等様々な資格や学びを取得してきました。日本語教師の資格はまだ持ち得ておりませんが私は日本語ネイティブなので、今よりも自然に発音したり日常生活でのアドバイスができます。文法を教えたり受験対策などは行えませんが、今までの経験を生かし沢山の方に積極的に話すこと、失敗を恐れず立ち向かう勇気に寄り添っていきたいと思っております。 教師に気を遣って受け身になったりせず、あなたからの発信がなによりも大切です。 一度学んだ事でも忘れてしまうことが普通です。一緒に何度でも声に出してみましょう。話す事に意味があります。 It is natural to forget things you learned. We will read it out over and over.Talking itself is meaningful. あなたに会えることを心待ちにしております。 Also, keep in mind that I am looking forward to seeing you in my lesson!!

A Safe and Welcoming Space to Enjoy Learning Japanese! As a foreign language learner myself, I truly understand how exciting yet challenging it can be to learn a new language. I have experienced the struggles of confidence in speaking. Because of this, I can help you overcome your weaknesses in a way that feels encouraging and effective. As a student myself, I know what learners look for in a teacher—someone who is patient, supportive, and adaptable to their needs. I strive to be that kind of teacher, providing a learning space where you feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and growing at your own pace. My goal is to help you build confidence, enjoy the process, and achieve your language learning goals.

I'm happy to hear the news that students passed the JLPT. It's your turn next. Let's study with me Before I became a Japanese teacher, I was an English teacher at Junior High School in Japan for 15 years.

I really enjoyed teaching there. 日本語の教師になる前は、日本の中学校で英語を15年間教えていました。 ボランティアを経験して、日本語を教えることに興味を持ちました。外国語を教えたり学んだりすることは面白いです。 2020年から2021年までベトナムで日本語を教えました。とても楽しい経験でした。
