This class is designed for people who are interested in learning how to speak English from basic conversations to more advance speaking skills. Let's have fun speaking English!

PAST EXPERIENCE
In the past I have hosted Exchange students from many different countries at my house every year and I was an exchange student myself in two different countries. I have lived in the US and France for a year.
Originally, I am from Thailand so English is not my first language so I can truly understand the struggle to learn English. I would love to share some tricks and tips of how to learn English with my future students.
Extra information
I will provide all the materials for the students. Please only bring something to notes down and let's come and enjoy using English together!

About Me
The way I design my class is depends on the needs of the students. It can be as simple as basic conversation in Thai to a more professional situations.
- My past teaching experience is to my the exchange students we host at our house. There are many different situations and scenario that I can imagine where knowing how to speak Thai would help them when they are living in Thailand.
-I am also happy to exchange some Thai culture (such as recipe, movies, history, art, etc.)
-I never had a professional teaching experience but I believe that the experience of living with foreigners who are struggling to learn Thai and helping overcome will be a great advantage.

Emiko
Hello, my name is Emi. I live in Tokyo and work in an office while also teaching Japanese. I majored in Economics at university and have over 20 years of experience working in back-office roles. Along the way, I enrolled in an art university and completed a master’s program in art studies while working. After working as a part-time university lecturer, I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation.

About My Lessons
Drawing on what I’ve learned through my professional experience and academic background, I offer practical and personalized lessons tailored to each learner’s needs.
I provide lessons mainly in Japanese, but I can also support learners in English when necessary. You can feel relaxed and enjoy the learning process at your own pace.

◆Conversation Lessons: From Small Talk to Office Communication
Target: Learners who want to improve their conversational skills in natural Japanese
Content: Small talk, workplace interactions, phone and email communication, polite expressions, and selecting appropriate language depending on the situation, etc.

In Japanese, honorifics and expressions vary subtly based on context and the relationship(level of familiarity or social distance) with the listener. My lessons help you naturally master these nuances by exploring the cultural values and thought patterns behind the language, while practicing realistic conversations.

◆Lessons Using the ‘GENKI’ Textbook Practice Sections
Target: learners who being studing with GENKI or who want to review.
Content: Adapted practice sections that are often difficult to tackle alone, focusing on sentence patterns and other grammar points.

The goal is to reinforce what you have learned and help you use it confidently in conversation.

◆Reading Comprehension Lessons (News Articles / Novels / Essays, etc.)
Target: Learners who want to deepen their understanding of written Japanese and enhance vocabulary and expression
Content: Using authentic Japanese texts such as news articles, novels, and essays, we work on vocabulary, grammar, and contextual understanding to improve reading comprehension.

You will also develop the ability to interpret cultural nuances and implied meanings, and engage in discussions to enhance your critical thinking and expressive skills.

◆Academic Japanese
Target: University or graduate students, or those who need to prepare presentations or read and write papers
※For more details, please feel free to contact me.

Lastly, a Few Words About My Approach to Teaching Japanese
Having studied English and Spanish myself, I deeply appreciate the complexity and subtlety of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, and direct translations are often insufficient.
By learning the cultural and contextual background behind expressions, you can achieve more natural and precise communication beyond just knowing vocabulary and grammar.
Therefore, my lessons emphasize sharing the cultural nuances behind the language. This approach makes communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to contact me.!!
