Thema von InteresseMusikSpieleTech
Award winning Japanese teacher who lived in the UK 🇬🇧 (for 15 years), Germany 🇩🇪 (2 years), Australia 🇦🇺, and the U.S 🇺🇸. I picked up English and Japanese as I grew up. I can speak in different accents! I have been awarded the Duolingo Language Impact Award in 2021.
I'm a very articulate speaker, and I explain complicated ideas in a way everyone can understand.
I'm also a composer/musician/sound engineer. I've written music for Discovery, Netflix, Universal etc... Recently I started writing stories for TV.
Things I like: music, video games (JRPGs), technology, comedy, cats (I have a cat called Yuffie), brain science, exercising, and anime etc.. I welcome everyone with open arms!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've been teaching online since 2011. I've given over 26,000 lessons (over 8000 on italki + other platforms). I LOVE teaching and helping students.
I'm a tech savvy teacher. I often use screen sharing and/or Google Docs during my Intensive Japanese class. I won't make it boring by using a textbook. I have my original materials and customized files for you.
★ I'm very passionate ! My "Intensive Japanese" lessons are only for those who are serious and dedicated. I want my students to have at least 25 mins/day for self study/review. Possibly 1hr/day, if you want to be fluent quickly :) ★ I'd have to "unleash hell" when a student gets lazy. haha. Bet you don't want to see that.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Basically, my lessons are very practical and I want my students to talk and practice what they've learned.
It usually takes my beginner students about 3 months to start speaking. My Intensive Japanese lessons are tailored to your specific needs (general, work/business, study, JLPT, test prep, interview, travel, hobby, etc), so you can improve quickly.
I mostly make my own lesson materials as I find textbooks a bit boring! 😆
◉ CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY ◉ Please read before booking ◉
★ If you are more than 15 minutes late, the lesson will be treated as a no-show. And no refund will be given.
★ At least 24-hour notice should be given for a lesson to be cancelled or rescheduled.

For Intermediate and Advanced students (Conversation Practice 28mins/57mins)
Taeko always has well structured lessons planned and starts the lesson right on the dot, but she does more than just that. During today’s lesson, she gave me a really great talk about proper learning mentality; basically, when you’re learning a language, you’re teaching a young child. You wouldn’t get angry with a young child for not grasping advanced concepts quickly, so you shouldn’t get angry with yourself either.
Really changed the way I think about learning, and I feel like I can be much more patient with myself. What a great teaching moment!

I have been Taeko-sensei's student for a while now and I have to say that she is my favorite teacher I have ever learned under. From the very first lesson, she had a good grasp of where my current skills were at and had strong suggestions for what I needed to improve on. Overtime we developed a lesson plan that worked well for me. Every lesson feels extremely engaging and she she always shows a vested interest in what I have to talk about. It is very much like talking to a friend. I cannot recommend her enough!

My son loves his lessons with Taeko. He is making excellent progress with Japanese. I honestly could not say enough positive things about how working with Taeko has improved my sons foreign language learning experience.

Taeko sensei assessed my current language level and we bonded over both of us being musicians. Then we touched on verb conjugation and made a plan for lessons going forward.

As always, Taeko is super professional. She also has her own materials simplifying tough grammar concepts (e.g., the different uses of wa).
