Teaching is my career and I love it!


Hello!

I am Kanako. I am a native Japanese speaker born in Japan.


I am fluent in English.

Actually I have been teaching English for 20 plus years. I am one of most popular teachers in our school.


My students are toddlers, primary, middle school kids and high school kids and of course grown ups. So I definitely know how to support my students at any ages especially when they start to learn, and when they face to the challenges of learning. I am experienced to teach Japanese as a volunteer too.


I love teaching! I really enjoy it.


Another thing what I love is traveling. I have been to NZ (attended school there.) , Australia and Guam (for volunteer), and visited some countries like Taiwan, Singapore, Finland, Russia and so on. Meeting up with people from different culture and experiencing their local lifestyle is very inspiring. I am looking forward to visiting other countries in near future.So I am looking forward to seeing you too!

I am good at teaching kids, but also my students over 30s say my class is fun. I believe enjoying yourself is essential for learning.


Parents, I can support your kids to have a good start of Japanese with fun. I will introduce your kids Japanese culture which local kids enjoy.


If you are at school age, let’s try Japanese songs, anime and comics.


If you are a grown up, I will share not only language but also I can help you to prepare for your job interviews, presentations, letters with typical Japanese business manners.


I have gained so many treasures from my career as an English teacher. What I really appreciate is meeting up with so many students. Now I am about to teach you Japanese. Please tell me why you would like to study Japanese. Do you like Japanese anime or dramas?

Are you interested in Japanese culture? Do you want to travel over Japan? You can ask me anything!
