Japanese Language Classes With an Experienced Teacher
Hi everyone! I lived in Japan for a year and a half, first as a Japanese studies student at Ochanomizu University and then as a trainee for Japanese language teachers at Japan Foundation Institute in Saitama. I've been around the Japanese language since 2008 and teaching it since 2012, individually and at private language schools. I also worked as a Japanese speaking tour-guide for around four years and occasionally worked as an interpreter.
My teaching approach is focused on communication and based on real-life situations as I feel students get more motivated if they feel they can use their knowledge outside of the classroom. However, as a grammar freak, I can add a bit of extra focus on it if needed.
I am very communicative, open and supportive since I had to go through the process of learning Japanese myself which I find a beneficial experience for beginners' level.

About Me
As a teacher, first I try to establish a good connection and a pleasant atmosphere between my students and me as a base for good teaching/learning experience. I listen to my student's wishes and try to incorporate them into my own teaching style which is communicational and logical. I tend to use a lot of materials outside of the language book as I believe that insisting on the same structure all the time can be dull.Education

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.
