I've worked as a tutor in a cram school for about 6 years and have much experience teaching students I've never worked as a Japanese teacher until today. However, I've done as a tutor in a cram school for about 6 years and have a lot of experience teaching many students Japanese, mathematics, English, science, and more as I said on my introduction video. Therefore, I'm very good at teaching and know so much how to keep students motivated!

Experienced Coach|36 countries Travel exspert |Beginners, Free Talk ,JLPT ,Kids Ok, All Levels, 「日本語、ずっと勉強しているのに、全然話せるようにならない…」そう感じたことはありませんか?その原因は、あなたの努力不足ではなく、「教科書の日本語」と「実際に使われている日本語」の間にある大きなギャップかもしれません。 はじめまして、日本語教師のYukaです。 私は日本の語学学校で、1歳のお子さんから大人の方まで、幅広い年齢層の生徒さんに日本語を教えてきました。 また、日系企業での勤務経験もあり、教室の中だけでは学べない「実際に使われている日本語」や、日本社会ならではの考え方・マナーについても深い知識を持っています。 ビジネスの現場で培った経験は、丁寧な言葉遣いから、同僚や上司との円滑な人間関係の築き方まで、幅広くお伝えできる強みになっています。 私自身も現在スペイン語と英語を学習中の身であり、生徒として新しい言語を学ぶ大変さや、思うように話せないもどかしさ、そしてうまく話せたときの喜びを、身をもって理解しています。 【私のレッスンの特徴】 教科書の文法をなぞるだけの授業はしません。 もちろん基礎はしっかりお伝えしますが、それに加えて「実際の会話で本当に使われる表現」も一緒に学んでいきます。 教科書では「です・ます」形が中心ですが、実際の会話は人間関係の話や噂話、スラングであふれています。教科書だけで勉強して会話につまずいてしまう方の原因は、実はここにあります。 友人との会話、職場でのやり取り、旅行先での一コマ―そのすべてに合った言葉選びができるよう、状況に応じた自然な日本語をお教えします。 教科書の各ユニットの文法事項が終わったら、必ずカジュアルな表現もプラスして教えるのが、他の先生との違いです。 【対応できるレベル・目的】 ・ゼロからの初級者の方:ひらがな・カタカナから、無理なく続けられるペースで丁寧にサポートします。「覚えられない」「続かない」という不安も、一緒に解消していきましょう。 ・JLPT合格を目指す方:必要な漢字・語彙・文法を整理し、試験日から逆算した学習プランを作成します。シャドーイングなどのトレーニングでリスニング力も鍛えます。 ・旅行や出張前に短期間で日本語を身につけたい方:限られた時間で確実に成果を出せるよう、実際に使う場面を想定した実践的なフレーズを中心に学びます。 ・ビジネスシーンで自信を持って日本語を使いたい方:敬語やビジネスマナー、日本人特有の考え方まで、文化的な背景を含めて丁寧に解説します。 ・お子さんの日本語学習:年齢制限なし、アニメや好きな遊びを取り入れながら、楽しみながら自然に学べます。 ・とにかく日本語で自由に話したい方:テーマは自由、間違いを気にせずたくさん話すフリートークも大歓迎です。 【大切にしていること】 間違えることを恐れないでください。 間違いは、上達している証拠です。緊張せずに話せる、リラックスした雰囲気のレッスンをいつも心がけています。 一人ひとりの目標やペース、興味関心に合わせて、オーダーメイドのレッスンプランを一緒に作っていきます。 【レッスンの進め方】 初回のレッスンでは、まずあなたの現在のレベルや目標、興味のあることをじっくりお伺いします。「なんとなく話せるようになりたい」という漠然とした目標でも大丈夫です。 一緒にお話ししながら、あなたに合った学習の道筋を見つけていきましょう。 教材はすべて画面上で共有しますので、手ぶらでレッスンにご参加いただけます。 レッスン中は、日本語だけでなく、必要に応じて英語やスペイン語での説明も可能です。

October calendar is fully open! Let's start your journey together! Arigato for visiting my profile! I specialize in helping students speak natural, everyday Japanese - the kind you won't find in textbooks! Having worked at a bank in Tokyo, I can also teach practical business phrases. As someone who's lived both in Japan (with that perfect Fuji view!) and the UK, I love bridging cultures through language. My own ongoing English journey since 2012 reminds me how exciting (and challenging!) language learning can be. You can be self taught, but you will realize how a language in actual communication can be totally different than in textbooks. (maybe anime too😅) If you'd like to master a language and be comfortable with communicating in another language, you can't escape from the steps of learning and understanding the culture. It helps you a lot for better communication for sure! Although you can easily collect information on the internet, you wouldn't know if that's true or not until you actually experience by talking to local people or visiting the country. And i am here to help you improve your Japanese and answer your questions/curiosity about Japan! I can possibly be your tour guide in Japan! we can just talk about literally ANYTHING just like talking to your friend :) You don't need to be nervous to practice/speak in Japanese at all. Just take your time and make a lot of mistakes with me, that's how you learn a language. Looking forward to talking to you and helping your Japanese learning journey!

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.

Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language.
