About the tutor

★Education:

- I have a bachelor degree in Japanese Language Education in the National university. I got a license as a Japanese teacher.

At the university, I studied the proper ways of teaching to non-Native Japanese speakers.

I learned Japanese grammars not only as a native language but also as a second language, so I can explain you the language with clear grammatical reasons. This is my strong points.

Not all the tutors have this educational background.


★Career:

- I have been teaching Japanese for 5 years

(4 years as a volunteer & 1 year as a career).


★My Class:

- I will suggest the best lesson up to your demands and level.

- Currently I am providing the lessons below:

1. Grammar lessons(speaking/writing/reading)

2. Conversation lesson(Q&A / free talk / discussion)

3. Lesson for exams(JLPT / university exams)

4. Singing lesson(Choose your favorite Japanese songs. I will explain the meanings of lyrics grammatically.)

You can customize from them or suggest new type of lessons!


★Why you need to choose me強み:

- I can see the language not as a native but also as a second language. not all of them can do it.

I am Native Japanese speaker but I also know Japanese grammars as a second language(totally different).

If tutors don't know this, they cannot teach with grammatical reasons because almost all the native Japanese speakers mastered Japanese naturally without knowing grammars.


★If you are interested in my lesson, feel free to message me!

I am waiting for your coming. Let's enjoy with me!(^▽^)/♡

Specialties

  • Conversational Japanese

    ① Daily Conversation: Let's talk about fun topics. If you’d like, I will give you some questions before lessons so you can prepare. You will learn new vocabulary and a natural way of speaking Japanese.

    ② Advanced Conversation: If you want to improve your speaking, we can discuss topics in depth and share opinions. You will not only learn Japanese language skills but also understand Japanese points of view.

  • Japanese for beginners

    Don't worry! Most of my students start from zero (^▽^)/

    I will give you slides showing Japanese grammar in a much simpler way than in textbooks.

    I will also give you PDFs of the textbook pages on which my slides are based, so you can review and practice at home.

    You will learn grammar, vocabulary, Japanese culture and natural conversation from zero!

  • Intensive Japanese

    Each class is intensive and tailored to your needs, so you will learn a lot each hour.

  • Business Japanese

    I have been working in Japanese company for 6 years. I can teach you a polite way of talking in business and writing business emails, which is difficult to learn by yourself.
