About Me
italki teacher since Sep 17, 2021InterestsHistoryFashion & BeautySports & FitnessTravelWriting
Hi, my name is Mika and I live in Nagoya (my hometown) ,I also lived in Tokyo for two decades.
My favorite things are traveling, shopping, studying language and playing sports.
As my job other than italki, I have run my own company for decade in Japan.
And in such a world situation, I'm interested in the job of diplomacy and continue to learn about it to support people around the world.
As for my personality, I'm energetic, curious, engaging, and fun!
海外や英語の勉強、そして人と接することが好きでitalkiの講師になりました。
現在名古屋に住んでおり、東京にも10数年程住んでいました。
好きなことは旅行や買い物、言語を学ぶことやスポーツをすることです。
italki以外では日本で会社を経営して10年になります。
そしてこのような世界情勢の中で”外交”に興味を持ち、世界中の方々の力になれたらと考え学びを進めています。
性格は活発で好奇心旺盛、そして明るいと思います。Me as a Teacher
I am a native speaker of Japanese and I also have had the opportunity to live in Los Angels (Santa Monica), New York (Manhattan/Queens) and Hawaii (Honolulu/Kaneohe) for a combined several years, therefore I can support students with English too.
As a Japanese teacher, I would like to teach students slowly, clearly, and with warm hospitality.
If you have any requests for the lesson content or style, please feel free to ask me.
私は日本語を母国語としており、アメリカのLos Angels,New York, Hawaiiの海外留学の経験もあるので英語でのサポートも可能です。
“楽しく、わかりやすく日本語を学ぶ” をモットーに、ゆっくり、優しく、わかりやすく、楽しく日本語を学んで頂けるように努めます。
海外での感謝を、日本語を学びたい生徒の方々へ恩返しできたら幸せです。 My lessons & teaching style
My typical class style is conversational practice with fun, but I can also teach you pronounce, grammer, how to make a sentence, read and write if you have interest.
I listen carefully to the student's pronunciation and am skilled at helping them sound like a Japanese speaker.
I had been a job related to speaking so I’m good at lessons that improve student's speaking skill - value a natural, fun, easy-to-talk atmosphere and humor. Recommended for those who want to improve their speaking skills.
＊Please feel free to contact me anything! :)
私は長い間話すことを職業としていたので、会話レッスンは得意としています。自然で楽しく、話しやすい雰囲気とユーモアを大切にしています。スピーキング力を向上させたい方にはお勧めです。

I've now had several fantastic lessons with Mika-san. She is fun to talk to and provides a calm, welcoming environment to push my limits and make mistakes. Even when I express things poorly, she understands what I'm trying to say and suggests more natural ways to say it, which is exactly the feedback I'm after. She always provides post lesson notes with new vocabulary and grammar etc. Looking forward to more lessons in the future!
