🌸はな 先生🌸 Specialize in Conversation and Basic Japanese 👩🏻‍🏫 English OK 大学で日本語教師養成のカリキュラム修了。 また、日本に住んでいる外国人の方に向けて、オンラインで日本語のレッスンもしたことがあります。(初級ー中級） 中学生向け（受験対策や宿題等）の塾講師を経験。 某有名英語会話教室で６さいから１０さいの子どもたちに、英語を教えました。 I have a Japanese language teacher qualification and also I have done online Japanese lessons for people who work in Japan. (Beginners - Intermediate) I worked as a tutor for Japanese students who studied for entering a high school, moreover I taught English for children who were 6 to 10 years old at a well-known English company.

I used to teach English in high schools, so I know how to treat students fairly, especially when they don't know how to improve themselves. By the same token, when teaching Japanese, I will try to work with them and help them to reach their goals contingent to different situations that involve diversified students. 自分が子どもの頃から厳しい先生が嫌いなので、必ず面白い方法で日本語の世界へと誘ってあげます。而如果您的興趣是中文，充滿文化背景支持我也一定會為您創造一個有深度的的中文會話環境。

English-Japanese translator but also teaching Japanese Hello! I'm Orie from Japan. My main jobs are English-Japanese translation and interpretation but I also teach Japanese online and in person. I love motorcycles, outdoor activities, and Anime. My husband and I do Anime night instead of movie night pretty often. If you have any suggestion what I should watch next, please tell me ! I started learning English when I was 25 years old but I wasn't able to speak English at all in the beginning. I slowly learned and I am now fluent in English. Because I struggled, I know how difficult it is to speak another language and I will never laugh at any mistakes and will walk through the journey with you. I've taught over 500+ hours on a different platform and switched to Italki. Although I have 3 +years of experience teaching Japanese, I am still learning how to teach efficiently. I mainly teach casual conversation or N5-3 classes. Whenever you cannot understand my Japanese, I can switch to English to explain if it's needed. I might not be the most experienced teacher however, I will do my best to explain and motivate you to keep going. Please note that italki does not allow classes to be rescheduled within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson. In accordance with italki’s policy, and to ensure fairness to all of my students and avoid conflicts with other scheduled lessons, I’m unable to accommodate rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before the lesson. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

GENKI／Travel Japanese／Japanese Study Coaching (Build a Daily Study Habit)✏️ Hi, I'm Kanako! I'm a professional Japanese teacher based in Tokyo, and I've been teaching Japanese since 2020. Before becoming a teacher, I lived in Canada for three years for study and work. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling around Japan, discovering local food, trying new recipes, and baking. If you love Japan, Japanese food, or travel, I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about! In my lessons, I create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. I don't rush my students, and I enjoy getting to know them personally. My lessons usually start with free conversation and a quick review of homework or a quiz. Then, we'll learn new grammar and practice using it in conversation. I encourage you to think for yourself and give hints when needed, while providing lesson notes and support along the way. Many of my students have continued studying with me for years. They often describe me as patient, friendly, and easy to talk to. You may notice that some of my reviews are older. I took some time away from italki during maternity leave and focused on teaching outside the platform. I'm now gradually reopening my schedule and accepting a limited number of students again. If you're looking for a patient and supportive teacher who will respect your pace while gently guiding you toward your goals, I'd love to meet you! I look forward to seeing you in class!

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.
