Certified native Japanese teacher with over 15 years teaching experience (Conversation & JLPT Prep). I majored "Japanese language as foreign language" in my University. The course was designed for people who would like to teach Japanese to foreigners. It was great opportunity to meet foreign students who plan to be Japanese teachers in their countries. I could learn that commonsense makes sense only in where I grew up. Sharing ideas and knowledge for developing and enjoying our lives is the most wonderful thing. Of course "learning language" is a gate to know about other people who have different backgrounds. Would you like to share your ideas with me?

Japanese for Adults (40s+) | 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

Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。
