楽しく話しながら日本ついて学ぼう!英語OK‼️ 私はオンラインで1年以上、日本語を教えています。現在は約35名の生徒が継続して私のレッスンを受講してくれています。英語で論理的に日本語を説明できることが、私の大きな強みです。文法や表現の細かな違い、言葉のニュアンスなども、できるだけわかりやすく丁寧に説明することを心がけています。 私はもともと、言語や文化、人がどのように考えるかに強い興味があります。そのため、難しい日本語に関する質問や細かい違いについて一緒に考えることがとても好きです。ただ言葉を覚えるだけでなく、その背景にある文化や習慣、考え方も一緒に知ることで、より自然で深い理解につながると考えています。 私は敬語の知識にも自信があります。 以前、公的な場に関わる方々と接する機会のあるNGO団体に所属しており、その中で丁寧で適切な日本語表現を深く学びました。そうした経験を通して、日常会話で使う自然な丁寧語から、ビジネスの場で必要な敬語、さらにより格式の高い表現まで幅広く理解しています。 敬語は難しい分野ですが、場面ごとの違いやニュアンスも含めて、できるだけわかりやすく説明することができます。

My mother-tongue is Korean. But I've learned English, Japanese and Chinese. So I truly understand how difficult learning languages is. I'm very positive, patient and enthusiastic. And I prepare each lesson only for A student. For example, if a student has a tendency to make mistakes using the present perfect, I usually prepare more focused lessons that he or she can repeatedly practice using the present perfect. I believe you could learn more through the mistakes that you make. And I will be there for you to correct or coach whenever you need it. You are going to be very very proud of yourself in the end. Let's have fun learning!!

Wherever you are in your Japanese journey, I'll get you to that 'wait, I understood that!' moment! I have the ability to teach a wide range of Japanese skill sets (Click my class list for more details). I also have a career as an instructor for Japanese Teacher Training Course. I always take some time listening and making sure I understand students' needs and evaluate what is important to them first. And then I adjust to what they want to learn. I am passionate about creating a fun class that is stress free and easy to understand for students as it helps encourage your participation. I simply love meeting new people from all over the world and following a students journey and watching their Japanese skills keep improving. That is definitely the most rewarding aspect for me.

Giorgia B.
I have never liked boring lessons and I like dynamism, so I would define myself a teacher who likes that students can learn having fun and with joy. At the same time, I adore grammar and I think it is very important to study and internalize it in order to speak well a foreign language. Finally, during my classes I like to speak a little bit about culture of the language we are studying and to do some language structure’s comparisons which are very interesting to understand how languages work (a little bit of linguistics help).

Jack Takahashi Mao
U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

Satomi
Certified Teacher for both adults and children. Absolute beginners and kids are welcome!! Me as a Teacher I completed "Japanese Language Teacher training course (420hours)" and "Training to teach children Japanese". I have taught at Japanese language school for 6+ years. Before working as a teacher, I had taught Japanese to foreigners as a volunteer. I have studied abroad in Canada, therefore I understand how difficult it is to learn a foreign language. Based on these my experiences, I think of what student's needs and wants are and support them in my lessons.

Miki
I am certified to teach Japanese and currently teach at a language school in Taiwan and for private students. I teach general Japanese, business Japanese as well as exam preparation for JLPT, to students from various backgrounds. Some of my students started to learn with me from Hiragana, the most basic letters in this language, and some others are advanced learners who are required to use Japanese for their jobs. I am so happy for what my students and I are doing together to improve their skills, and having good time in each class.
