Le mie creazioni
Che tipo di insegnante sono
As a teacher, I try to
✔︎ be academically well-informed / flexible / patient / honest / friendly
✔︎ have my students talk as much as possible (instead of me talking)
✔︎ use flipped classroom strategies (input at home, output in class)
✔︎ use Japanese as much as possible
✔︎ always review the previous lesson
✔︎ be (very) strict with pronunciation (らりるれろ, devoicing of vowels, mora lengths and pitch-accent)
and most importantly:
✔︎ give meaningful feedback
✔︎ translate what the students want to say into easy & simple Japanese sentences - so that they can use it the next time!
I also teach English to local students in my hometown in Ibaraki prefecture (an hour away from Tokyo by train).
Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I try to use flipped classroom strategies - input as homework, output and feedback in lessons.
*Of course, I also introduce new things during lessons when necessary.
Examples of 🏠 input 👉 output:
🏠 vocabulary practice 👉 mini test and feedback
🏠 repeat / shadowing practice 👉 pronunciation check and feedback
🏠 grammar exercises in a workbook 👉 comprehension check and interactive practice
🏠 watch a Japanese show online 👉 talk about the story and characters in Japanese
🏠 read graded readers 👉 Q&A about the difficult parts
*The amount of homework depends on how much time the student currently has outside the lesson.
I'm flexible, so let me know how you would like me to help you!

I'm really happy about my first real class with 山口先生.
The class was very well balanced. For everything we covered, we did some practice. We also did some revision, which is very important.
Also, 山口先生 answered all the questions that I had before class and that I got during the class. She was able to explain more complex things in several different ways when I was struggling a bit.
For an hour long class, I'm very happy with the amount of material that we were able to cover.
The last but not least, I think 山口先生 has a great personality, which helps a lot. She's very cheerful, positive and supportive. She created a friendly and productive atmosphere in the class.
ありがとうございました for the class ))

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Saeko-sensei for over a year now and I highly recommend her lessons. I have to admit that Saeko-sensei is always better prepared for our lessons than I am. Her tailor-made approach makes lessons highly relevant to my own personal situation. I've chosen the Genki path as a backbone for my learning and Saeko-sensei always complements it by the necessary additional material. Saeko-sensei is always very responsive to any additional requests and questions modifying the learning path to suit my needs. Lessons have a clear structure and moreover there is a bridge from one lesson to another through a review of the main points covered in the previous lesson. Thank you!

About half a year ago I started taking lessons with Yamaguchi Sensei to improve my speaking skills and increase the efficiency of my Japanese learning in general.
Yamaguchi Sensei is a professional, competent, and very welcoming person who manages to create a comfortable atmosphere. She adapts to my learning rhythm and my individual language strengths and weaknesses, so that every lesson is tailored to my needs. Lesson content is dynamic and evolves over time so that each lesson has a similar structure, but the content adapts to the needs of the student. She is fun to talk to and is always well prepared for each class.
Now, after taking a few lessons, I can say that I feel a lot more confident when speaking Japanese, and my ability to speak has generally developed well.
Personally, I don't have to look around for another teacher and can really recommend Yamaguchi Sensei to everyone.
今までありがとうございます!次のレッスンが楽しみです。

Today was another productive lesson. Saeko san always takes a lot of time to answer questions and is able to explain grammatical issues in a simple and clear way. She is also very empathetic and patient which makes her a good teacher.
I'm already looking forward to the next lesson.

It was great to have trail lesson with teacher Saeko :) She help me review the points from text book in Q-A and crads like 「だれといざかやへいきますか?」
The difference between [私は~人です or ~ から来ました」is little bit tricky for non-speakers to distinguish, I can’t find it out if without Saeko.
どもありがとうございます,❤️❤️Saeko先生!
