🍣Beginner & Polite Japanese 🏝️Okinawan language 🍙Master Japanese in English 🍜University Professor 1) I've been a Japanese teacher at a college school in the US Air Force base in Japan. 2) My primary focus is to build vocabulary so students can boldly lead discussions, and speak fluently. 3) I've trained exchange students, engineers, college students, children, and so on. 4) I've also worked as a guesthouse staff and office worker in Japan, so I'm used to explaining Japanese culture and manners to tourists and expatriates :) 5) I was ever praised by my friends and students for my teaching methods. As a result, most of my friends were able to pass the JLPT-N1 and N2 test with my support and some of them are working as skilled workers in Japan.

🌸 For students who want to learn to speak naturally🌸 Before becoming a Japanese language teacher, I taught at junior high schools, high schools, and cram schools, giving me a wealth of educational experience. Currently, I specialize in instructing intermediate and advanced learners. Many of my students have been studying diligently for 3 to 9 years, and even after reaching advanced or superior levels, they continue to enjoy learning Japanese. I am constantly reminded by them just how important consistency is. In my lessons, you are welcome to use textbooks. For students who have finished intermediate textbooks and want to focus on their speaking skills, we use short articles to expand vocabulary and expressions while practicing through discussion. I provide new materials for every session that incorporate N3–N2/N2~N1 level vocabulary and grammar. This offers a great opportunity to both review what you have already learned and master new concepts. The most important thing is to use these expressions repeatedly during the lesson to gradually make them your own. Conversation skills improve naturally through repetition and by acquiring new vocabulary and grammar within the context of a real dialogue. I am fully committed to supporting you so that you can express your thoughts in natural, correct Japanese. Lesson Content ✅ Textbooks (for A2–B1 level students) Genki/Minna no Nihongo/Tobira: Gateway to Advanced Japanese/JLPT preparation materials ✅ Reading Short Articles / Q&A / Discussion ✅ Reading Articles or Books you like

私は教えない。I don't teach you. I'm a guide, trainer, and counselor of all the autodidacts. I am no longer a teacher who only teaches. I am a guide, a trainer, and a counselor of all the autodidacts. I try to get the most out of my learners and give them back what they need. Also, I don't think it is enough to just present the learning items. I want to support them in the process of learning as well. It is my greatest pleasure to see the results of our work together. 教えるだけの先生は卒業しました。私は独学者のガイドであり、トレーナーでもあり、カウンセラーでもあります。学習者から最大限引き出し、必要なものを加えて返していくよう心がけています。また、学習項目を提示するだけでは十分だと思いません。覚える過程も含めてサポートしていきたいです。そしてその成果を、双方で確認することを至上の喜びと感じています。
