I like to meet new poeple and learn new things. I love music,art, nature and squirrels .Me as a Teacher
I teach Japanese and translate it together with my husband. I gained insight into how foreigners experience Japan and its language by teaching Boeing employees in Nagoya and Syrian family. I like to use illustrations to help students understand difficult concepts, as can be seen in my books. In April 2019, I began creating four-panel comics and articles related

For formal lessons, I make individual lesson plans for each student and use pdf, real-life materials (menus, etc.) and textbooks.
For informal sessions, I don't make lesson plans. Students prepare a topic and focus on conversation. Informal sessions are aimed at intermediate to advanced students, as a certain level of proficiency is required to manage a somewhat fluid conversation.My teaching material

I had another enjoyable lesson with Kiyomi-sensei! We reviewed the phrase “～かなあ.” Kiyomi-sensei always includes a substantial amount of practice in our lessons which helps me greatly!

It had been a while since I hadn't had classes with Kiyomi-san. The class was a pleasure; we had a very nice conversation, she helped me with my Japanese and I felt really comfortable and at ease as usual! :)

Ogawa-sensei patiently taught me lots of new vocabulary while I pushed myself far beyond the bounds of what I was actually capable of discussing 😁 Fun conversation!
