I saw a lot of B1-B2 level learners who couldn't understand what the Japanese speakers were talking about, so in my lesson I put an emphasis on listening input in various speech style.
"Minna no nihongo" or "Genki" learners can join my lessons for improving communication skills. 
If you have an interest in this course, I'll send you the URL of "Irodori" and the table of the contents before you book a trial lesson. I highly recommend you complete the course, but you can create your individual lesson plan from the table of the contents.

【Basic Japanese in real-life-situations】 (Starter, A1-B1) : Speaking & Listening for living or traveling in Japan

This session will be available for the learner of A2 - B2 level. You can choose any topic you'd like. I can help you learn more suitable vocabulary, expressions and grammar to communicate with native Japanese speakers. By the way, which way is much better to say to your Japanese friends, "Ohayoo" or "Ohayoo gozaimasu" , "arigatoo" or "arigatoo gozaimasu", "gomen" or "Sumimasen" ? You need to change the speaking style in the different situation , for example, to who you're talking. Perhaps a lot of Japanese young people say "Ohhaa" in their school for saying "Good morning".

Free conversation (About Anime, Manga, TV series, your favorite place, food, Japanese gardens, local cities  in Japan, your hobbies, your daily routine etc.)
