“4+ years of experience as a bilingual teacher—lessons in English or Japanese!” As a teacher, I care deeply about helping learners feel confident and supported. I’ve taught students from many backgrounds and always create a friendly space where it’s okay to make mistakes and ask questions. Since I speak both English and Japanese, I can guide you clearly in either language. 学ぶ人が安心して話せるようにサポートすることが、講師としての私の大切な役割だと思っています。 これまでさまざまな国や背景の生徒さんを教えてきましたが、いつも「間違えても大丈夫!」という安心できる雰囲気づくりを心がけています。 英語と日本語の両方が使えるので、必要に応じてわかりやすくサポートできます。

I have been teaching Japanese face-to-face for 5 years I have been teaching Japanese face-to-face for 5 years I have a lot of experience teaching Japanese. Some of the students I've taught passed the JLPT N2 in just one year, even though they couldn't speak Japanese at all. The first step in learning Japanese is to not be afraid of making mistakes. It's okay to make mistakes, so let's talk a lot! The fastest way to improve is to talk a lot about your favorite Japanese topics. I'm looking forward to talking with you all

Lesson method) • Study Japanese beginners using online Japanese teaching materials Things impossible) I cannot teach using only English. I cannot explain Japanese grammar in English. Please understand, I don't currently offer intermediate-level Japanese lessons. 很乐意教你地道的日语。 我以前在中国教过日语。 学生都是中国人。 他们的性格都不一样,对日语的热情也不一样。 所以作为他们的日语老师,需要磨练自己不断提高教导技巧。 我教日语的时候,经常让学生反复地朗读课文,背住课文。 然后替换单词,让学生造句。 这样可以提高说日语的能力 我希望我的学生能加深认识日本人和日本文化。 祝你日语学得开开心心!

【Kids& Adults】Let's speak Japanese Naturally and with Confidence! I work at a cafe of tourist information and meet many people from all over the world every day. I am very happy when they speak easy Japanese like 'Arigato' to me. I am glad that they are interested in our language and culture. That's why I decided to become a Japanese teacher. I was a volunteer tutor for foreign students in Japanese class when I was a university student. I supported their learning process and learned how to teach Japanese along the way. I love teaching very much. I would like to have fun talking in Japanese like friends. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask as many times as you need, even if you think they are small things.

友達感覚でお話ししよう! I’m always working to improve the quality of my lessons. For beginner students, I provide clear and gentle explanations. I don’t just stick to textbook expressions—I also help you learn natural Japanese that’s actually used in daily life. I offer dictation practice using vocabulary from Genki, so you can improve both your listening and writing skills in a balanced way. For intermediate and advanced learners, I prepare vocabulary and expression lists and create questions that naturally bring out those words. Even if you’ve talked about a topic before, you’ll have the chance to learn new phrases and expand your range of expression.

【にほんご・にちじょうかいわ】はじめましてのかおあわせ 日本語講師歴10年以上と開業経験と知識で真心を込めた対応や、接し方、悩みや努力に寄り添いながら一人一人に応じる事ができます。加えて救急救命、普通二種、ボランティア、障害者講習、心理学や介護等様々な資格や学びを取得してきました。日本語教師の資格はまだ持ち得ておりませんが私は日本語ネイティブなので、今よりも自然に発音したり日常生活でのアドバイスができます。文法を教えたり受験対策などは行えませんが、今までの経験を生かし沢山の方に積極的に話すこと、失敗を恐れず立ち向かう勇気に寄り添っていきたいと思っております。 教師に気を遣って受け身になったりせず、あなたからの発信がなによりも大切です。 一度学んだ事でも忘れてしまうことが普通です。一緒に何度でも声に出してみましょう。話す事に意味があります。 It is natural to forget things you learned. We will read it out over and over.Talking itself is meaningful. あなたに会えることを心待ちにしております。 Also, keep in mind that I am looking forward to seeing you in my lesson!!
