Japanese for Adults | Supportive Tutor with a Background in Psychology. Let's begin!! Are you looking for a fulfilling new hobby to enrich your life? I have taught Japanese language, culture, and ways of thinking to many learners. My conversational lessons use "やさしい日本語(Simple Japanese)," covering both polite and informal expressions. Therefore, my lessons are geared towards mature learners in their 40s and 50s who enjoy the process of exploration, whether for travel, cultural interest, or intellectual challenge. Of course, I also provide preparation for those who wish to take the JLPT. I value the joy of understanding a new language and expressing oneself beautifully and naturally. I will help you enjoy every moment of the lesson. Let's begin a fulfilling new chapter together! I am a professional Japanese language teacher who has taught over 1,100 lessons. I have completed a 420-hour Japanese language teacher training course. I understand the challenges of learning a new language later in life. However, having transitioned myself to teaching Japanese at the age of 60, I think that it's never too late to take on a new challenge. With my background in psychology, I support my students' motivation and emotional well-being as well as teaching grammar. My teaching approach is based on the concept of "やさしい日本語", which is a considerate communication method designed to facilitate effective and stress-free interaction. [Lesson Style] -Slow, kind, and easy to follow -Friendly support for learners in their 40s and 50s -English support available when needed

Lesson Taylor | Tailor-made Japanese lessons for new learners to advanced (オーダーメイド日本語レッスン) As a teacher, I value flexibility. Every student has different backgrounds, and the most effective way to master a language varies from person to person, so I always adjust my lessons to fit what you need.
