My name is Hiromi from Okinawa Island, Japan. I was born in the beautiful city of Kanazawa and I also lived in Tokyo, Yokohama and Nara. I have a master's degree in sociology and have been a counselor and a communication trainer for the last 30 years. I also have written and translated several books and articles about family, gender, etc. I attended many conferences in Japan and other countries, in which I learnt a lot of things to empower women and girls. My hobbies include watching movies, gardening and traveling abroad. I am a very friendly, patient and motivated person.
Me as a Teacher
I am very passionate about teaching and learning languages. I have a national certificate to teach English at schools. I speak with a standard and classy Japanese accent. I can teach you daily Japanese conversation or formal conversation, starting from beginner’s level all the way to advanced depending on your needs. There is no doubt that Japanese is one of the world’s most difficult languages to learn, however, I am here to help you to learn Japanese in a fun and enjoyable way.
My lessons & teaching style
In my class we can have an interesting chat, and while we do that you practice your speaking. As you speak, I will note down your mistakes in pronunciation, grammar, use of words and correct them afterwards. This way you can improve your speaking skills and vocabulary.

Today we read a story about an exchange student's experience with eating taiyaki for the first time. The story contained many useful grammar points such as: ~ことにしますand ~ながら. I had the opportunity to make example sentences by using said points to become familiar with the usage. We took turns reading out loud and dissected the sentences to determine its context. Reading out loud quite was helpful with correcting any pronunciation errors and intonation challenges. My confidence with learning Japanese has improved quite a bit from working with Hiromi-san.

Today we talked about peonies, tree peonies and azaleas. We also read about the history of cultivating shiitake mushrooms. Thanks!
Today we read an interesting article on different types of mushrooms and discussed the various ways of how they are prepared and served. We also did shadowing from a fun story on shiitake mushrooms. We discussed the main character's point of view and the usage of various grammar points that helped bring the story to life. I look forward to more classes with Hiromi-san.

Hiromi-sensei has a very professional demeanor. Free conversation is very difficult for me, but she is patient and kind. A lot of content for learners is slow and/or awkward, but Hiromi-sensei speaks in a clear voice and at a reasonable pace. I think she is an interesting person, and I look forward to learning more about her throughout our lessons.

We read about the new currency being printed now. Thanks for sharing examples of the current bills. It was fun to see the 2000 yen bill used in Okinawa!
