Qualified Japanese teacher living in France🇫🇷 Hello, I'm Sayoko. I'm a qualified Japanese teacher. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan but live in France now. I speak standard Japanese. My hobbies are travelling, watching movies, learning languages & reading books. Since 2018, I've taught Japanese to beginner students on a 1-1 basis. In 2022, I passed the Japanese language Teaching Competency Test. I've studied English at university and now I'm studying French so I understand how difficult it is to learn new languages. If necessary, I can speak English or French to clarify certain points. I use interactive activities so students can practise their language skills. I tailor the lessons to the needs of each individual student. Bonjour . Je suis Sayoko. Je suis professeur de japonais diplômé. Je suis née et j'ai grandi à Tokyo , mais je vis en France maintenant. Je parle japonais couramment. J'aime voyager, regarder des films, lire des livres, cuisiner. Je donne des cours particulier de japonais depuis 2018. J'ai obtenu le diplôme Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test en 2022. J'ai étudié l'anglais à l'université et j'étudie le français maintenant donc je comprends comme il est difficile d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. Si nécessaire je peux parler français et anglais pendant le cours. Mes cours sont interactifs donc les étudiants peuvent mettre en œuvre leur compétences. J'adapte les leçons aux besoins de chaque étudiant.

Certified Japanese teacher! Good for practicing conversation! Very beginner friendly and patient! Hello everyone! I'm Maiko! I'm from Fukuoka, Japan, and I've been living in the United States since 2020. I'm a certified Japanese teacher and have been teaching Japanese since 2017.

If you're an intermediate learner, you may have experienced mostly listening during group conversations without many chances to speak. In my private lessons, I'll give you plenty of opportunities to speak Japanese while patiently supporting and encouraging you. We can work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and natural expressions. I can customize lessons to help you improve your Japanese in a way that works for you. I also have a professional background as a registered dietitian in Japan, so I can offer lessons related to health, nutrition, food, and wellness. Outside of teaching, I love hiking, rock climbing, cooking, traveling, and eating! I look forward to meeting you!

Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.
