    Private Japanese Lesson ― Conversation, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Academic Japanese

    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.!!

    Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
    For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
