Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 13 Aug 2021InterestsHistoryFoodFashion & BeautyPets & AnimalsReizen
I was born in Tokyo and raised in Kanagawa prefecture, which is next to Tokyo. I moved from Kanagawa to the United States last summer, and now live in the State of Oregon.
I like traveling, watching Netflix, cooking, and baking. I love both dogs and cats, and have two dogs. (Your pets are welcome to join the lessons, too!) Because the major for both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees was intercultural communication, I enjoy learning about other cultures and sharing mine.
私は東京都で生まれ、神奈川県で育ちました。昨夏神奈川からアメリカに引っ越し、今はオレゴン州在住です。旅行や、ネットフリックスを見ること、料理や、お菓子作りが好きです。犬や猫も好きで、犬を２匹飼っています。（ペットもレッスンに参加するのは大歓迎です！）大学・大学院での専攻が国際文化学だったので、異文化を学んだり、自分の文化を発信するのも好きです。Ik als leerkracht
I started teaching Japanese in 2013 as a volunteer in my hometown, and completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in 2020. Since then, I have been teaching Japanese as a certified teacher, and I have met people from more than 30 countries through this teaching career so far. I started teaching part-time on italki in August 2021, and I have been meeting wonderful students here as well!

Because italki is mainly for private lessons, I would like to focus on what and how the students want to study. I think studying Japanese in Japanese is a bit too hard sometimes (especially for beginners), so I would love to help students by using English if needed.
I am currently accepting new students since I moved to the States and started working in different time zone. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to message me.

Werkervaring
2018 - 2020
Chief of English Tour GuidesI had worked at Samurai Museum in Tokyo as an English tour guide. Unfortunately, the museum has been closed due to the pandemic, but we can talk about Japanese Samurai, history, swords, armor, and so on during the lesson!
2016 - 2020
Tutor (for English, Japanese, and math)I taught Japanese and math to the 2nd-6th grade Japanese students, and English to the 7th-12th Japanese students at a cram school. The lessons were mostly private, and I learned how important to think about what the students really need and change the lesson styles depending on each student and their individual needs.
2022 - 2023
SecretaryI worked on U.S. Navy bases in Japan. My job was to work for U.S. civilian department heads as their secretary, which included language and cultural support. I used English daily at work.

For my two years of having Kana as my teacher, she is very kind and patient teacher. She waits for me if I’m not confident in my speaking. She also will help correct you if you need it. She also helps you feel more confident in your speaking by talking with you about your life in Japanese every lesson. Also the mini conversations during each lesson about what you’re learning helps a ton. I would recommend her to anyone as a Japanese tutor.

Because I really love Japan + Japanese, I asked Kana if I can try to read something about Japan, on top of my textbook lesson. I like travelling in Japan, and she chose a book and tailor made the content for my level, and we talked about a basic understanding of Japan today. It’s a really nice and interesting lesson when I can read and learn Japanese with no pressure at all. I enjoyed it so much. Really a big thank you to Kana!

My trial lesson with Kana went great. We were able to do some conversation in Japanese at the beginning with what I knew, and then could discuss in English what the options were for how to progress from there. She was kind and informative.
