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.

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 incredible lesson with Kiyomi-sensei! We finished translating the scene from “Friends.” Kiyomi-sensei always has a clear plan for a lesson which helps me learn a great deal!

I had another extraordinary lesson with Kiyomi-sensei! We finished reading an article about fishing. With each lesson that I have with Kiyomi-sensei, I gain more confidence in speaking Japanese. She is a gifted teacher!
