I have 19 years as a professor at Mexican university and right now I'm living in Brussels.
I have a PhD. in education and for me it's essential to have dynamic classes that approach with the real life and communicative cases in order to improve the level of the language; the learning process is essential to do in different ways in order to find out which type of learner is the student.
I'm very passionate and disciplinate about my teaching, trying also to use the TIC's as tool to support the knowledge received.
I try always to be updated as a professor with new technologies, new materials and new techniques in order to give and provide the best class as possible.

I have studied Japanese language at the university of Nagoya Japan and obtained JLPT Niveau 1 (The highest level of the Japanese Proficiency Test)I also studied Classical Japanese and Classical Chinese at KU Leuven. I have also obtained a Postgraduate in Korean Studies at KU Leuven. In 2011 I became the winner of the Japanese speech contest organised bij Nihonjinkai in Brussels.
I have a longstanding experience in teaching Japanese as a certified language teacher. I have lived and worked 10 years in Japan, as a language teacher at Japanese universities and Japanese companies. I also worked as a Japanese-English/French translator for several Japanese companies.
I offer Japanese language classes for students of all levels.
All my classes are tailor made and adjusted to the needs and the wishes of the student.
I can help you study for JLPT as well.

I am a Japanese teacher. I can give you a course on Japanese language and it's culture. Preferable area is Louvain-la-Neuve. Online is possible too. All level is welcomed. My French is not perfect but it's enough to communicate. I normally do classes from 2 hours a time, because one hour is too short.

For people who want to learn Japanese (every level), my class is the best option for you! I have a 420-hour Japanese language teaching certificate with experience in teaching private lessons before. In this class, I will:
- Design the best course that suit your purposes and interests
- Help you reach a certain level in Japanese as you desire
- Assist you in studying for the JLPT test

I offer courses through online platforms (Zoom, skype,..) so don't worry too much about finding a physical place to meet in this pandemic time.

Hope to work with you soon!

This class is open to everyone who wants to study Japanese (speaking, listening, writing, and reading).

The content of this class depends on what you want to learn from the class and will be considered to your needs.

Also happy to exchange any cultural things in Japan and possibly to help with any administration things for going to Japan and any tips about all cities in Japan etc.

I studied sculpture as a bachelor's and New Media as a master's at Tokyo University of the Arts. Now currently working as a freelance artist and doing a master of dance / choreography in P.A.R.T.S. at Brussels.

In my Japanese lessons you can also make a pronunciation by learning Japanese songs. There I can also help with professional Japanese (emails, short exchanges, etc.) and/or help you prepare for an exchange.
My goal in education is to make your daily life enjoyable through culture.

Japanese is a beautiful language, but how do you get started? Reading, speaking, and writing each come with their own difficulties that are quite different from what we're accustomed to in European languages.

I'm more than happy to provide you with Japanese lessons tailored to what you want to learn.

Would you like to...
master the basics in preparation of travelling to Japan?
prepare for higher studies Japanese?
learn to listen and read?

I'm here to assist you with that!
I believe anyone looking to learn a new language should engage with it daily. That's why learning Japanese in Belgium can be tricky! For those who are interested, I offer extra practice sessions and tips throughout the week to help you master Japanese as quickly as possible. 一緒に頑張りましょう!

Hi, I am an international student from China currently pursuing graduate studies in education. I speak Japanese, Chinese (mother tongue) and French.

I have studied in Japan, Hungary, Spain and Belgium and lived in China for 20 years. Since 2016, I have been working as a language teacher while studying and earning my undergraduate degree in Education in the aforementioned countries. I have taught more than 20 students so far, and the students and parents have responded very favorably to the results and the learning process, and have been motivated to learn a foreign language.
I strongly believe that education is not a painful process, it is not only about learning subjects, but also about motivation, mental health and proper values.

My relationship with my students is more like that of a friend; a superior teacher-student relationship can only lead to a negative reaction to the content. My students love my classes because they are filled with interesting and logical explanations, and I take every student's question seriously.

For younger students, I will use more interesting and vivid examples to explain abstract knowledge, for example: the letter "a" is a mouth with a snake next to it, in which case we will surely yell "ah". For adults who are able to think logically, I will choose to explain in a more logical way, e.g. if there is the character for fire on the left side of the Chinese word "烤", the left of the word which is "火" looks like a campfire,so any word with this "campfire" means something about fire or high temperature, and the right part can be used to deduce the pronunciation of the word.

My courses are available via Terminals, Skype, dingding, etc. If you are in Brussels then you are welcome to come to one of my offline courses!

The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.
