About Me

InterestsReadingTravelFilms & TV Series
I am a Japanese who grew up in Japan. I love reading. I know a lot of beautiful Japanese words. I'd like to teach them to foreigners. I also like traveling abroad. It's a great pleasure for me to learn about foreign countries.
Studying foreign languages is fun, but hard. I would like to support students so that they can enjoy studying Japanese as much as possible.
I go to movies at least once a month. I like sports too. I play table tennis once or twice a week.

映画は少なくても月に一度は見ます。スポーツも好きで、週に1,2度卓球をしています。
Me as a Teacher
Before I became a Japanese teacher, I was an English teacher at Junior High School in Japan for 15 years.
I became interested in teaching Japanese after experiencing volunteer work. I like teaching and studying foreign languages.
Between 2020 and 2021, I taught Japanese in Vietnam. I really enjoyed teaching there.
日本語の教師になる前は、日本の中学校で英語を15年間教えていました。
ボランティアを経験して、日本語を教えることに興味を持ちました。外国語を教えたり学んだりすることは面白いです。
2020年から2021年までベトナムで日本語を教えました。とても楽しい経験でした。
My lessons & teaching style
I will listen carefully to student's request and decide on a curriculum. I would like to make a student speak and write as much as possible. To motivate a student, I would like to praise him/her as soon as I find his/her good point.
生徒の話をよく聞いて、授業の内容を決めたいと思います。なるべく多く、生徒に話したり書いたりさせたいと思います。やる気を出させるため、いいところを見つけたらすぐにほめます。

I strongly recommend Koizumi Sensei. She is kind, caring, and patient. I feel comfortable to share any thoughts with her in Japanese. I can discuss a variety of topics with her in Japanese. She would patiently listen to me and correct my Japanese. Taking classes with her has become my habit. I was totally a beginner back then, but after I constantly practice Japanese speaking with Koimizu Sensei, I feel more comfortable to speak Japanese to Japanese people while I am in Japan. With her help, I also passed JLPT N3 test recently. I will continue taking her classes as long as I can.

I have been with Koizumi sensei for one and a half years. She is patient and knowledgeable,explains things well and makes me feel at ease. I enjoy taking her lessons. She helped me to prepare for N5 and N4 exam, which I obtained a pass for both. She is a very experienced teacher and has very effective teaching materials. I look forward to continuing my Japanese studies with her.

Awesome teacher. She is excellent in helping me with my rusty conversational Japanese. She is perfect teacher for my needs. We are able to converse on numerous topics which is helpful in my Japanese language learning. Thank you!!

I can't recommend Koizumi sensei enough! I've been studying with her for almost 3 years and with her help I've passed the JLPT N3 and recently N2. I have taken her JLPT test prep classes as well as conversation practice and both have been very helpful in improving my Japanese. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for the JLPT or looking to improve their speaking ability in Japanese.

Koizumi-sensei was very patient and helped guide me when I didn't understand things.
