About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2013InterestsPets & AnimalsFoodTravelMusicSports & Fitness
My name is Tadahiro Murooka. I was born in Osaka, in 1972. And I live in Tokyo now.
My hobby is English, observing people, and weight training. Needless to say, I love eating Japanese food =) Especially, I found myself fond of it more than any other countries food now. And I would like to draw pictures when I have the time but I don’t at the moment… however, I want to engage in such creative work someday.
I got a start online teaching because I wanted to use English at work. I am opened and easy going, but sometimes straightforward ;/ Since I like weight training, I prefer to apply the motto 'No Pain No Gain' for my life. This spirit can be reflected on my teaching style too.Me as a Teacher
I have learned how to teach Japanese through the correspondence course of the 420 hours. And I have already been teaching Japanese for about ten years. As mentioned in 'About Me', I am not a typical type of Japanese person, rather, I would like to train my student indepent or be able to get through any issue by themselves.
Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!! My lessons & teaching style
I prefer to use GENKI book. It has two sections, Conversation & Grammar section and Reading & Writing section. I would like to cover both section because I believe that Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing has the mutual relation. And as passing by chapters, everything -even the questions themselves- come to be written in Japanese. So learing both are the matter for the student who wants to reach the intermediate or more level. As for me as a teacher, laying the found, laying the foundation is the most important. In order for that, I use the white board, audio file for shadowing or repeating practice with many homework. I'm sure that you can be confident in Japanese through my lessons!My teaching material

Another very upbeat friendly session. Hiro san is very patient, knowledgeable and encouraging.
Started using a stylus to input into our sessions which is essential for being able to write and communicate.
Looking forwards to the next one.
ありがとうございました。
