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. I currently teach one-on-one lessons on italki and group classes at a Japanese cultural center in North Carolina. Beginners are very welcome! If you just started learning Japanese, don't worry! I teach many beginner students and have lots of experience helping them build a strong foundation. For beginners, I usually use the Genki textbook along with my original Google Slides. I add practical examples and explanations to help you understand grammar and use Japanese in real-life situations. You don't need to be perfect. Making mistakes is an important part of learning! 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!

Let's have a lot of fun with learning Japanese! ニュージーランドの公立高校で日本語を教えていた経験を活かし、オンラインで、様々な国の方々へ日本語を教えてきました。今や、語学を学ぶこと・教えることは私の人生の喜びです。 自分自身の経験から、まずは実践の会話を経験することが一番大切だと思っています。 ”話せた！楽しい！”と思うことが、最大のモチベーションとなります。 その中で、新しい単語との出会いを演出し、文法を自然と理解していけるようにしていきます。 I have experience teaching Japanese at a public high school in New Zealand and since I came back to Japan, I've helped people from around the world learn Japanese online. Learning and teaching languages is absolutely a joy in my life. From my own experience, I think having actual conversations is the best way for learning languages. Feeling "It's fun! I can speak!" is your biggest motivation! During the conversations, I will show you new vocabulary and let you understand grammar naturally.

・Japanese teacher Kumamoto International Communication Center counseling for the language-study

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.
