Me as a Teacher
I believe the best way to learn a language is through effective communication which helps to build your confidence and vocabulary and varied expressions. So you can feel comfortable when making conversation in the future.
In our lesson, I will encourage you to speak a lot but also try to make sure your comfortableness.
My lessons & teaching style
These are the key that I always put value in my lesson.
● Understanding the student’s needs
● Setting clear goals, make plans to achive together
● Fun and motivational lessons
🦥Please be relaxed and Let's have fun!!🦥
Lessons with Saori-san are always fun and engaging.
She understands how to speak with beginners; conversations feel natural and enjoyable. Her textbook lessons include plenty of original materials, making them feel modern and appealing.

This was my very first trial lesson on iTalki and I’m so glad I picked a session with Saori-san! She’s got such a warm personality and made me feel comfortable even though I’m super self-conscious about my Japanese conversation skills. I like that she types phrases I stumble over / had trouble expressing for reference and review, and am looking forward to more classes with her!

Another great lesson with Saori-sensei! Thanks to her, I had a great time in Japan! I only used my translation app a few times, and I was able to have great conversations with locals throughout Japan. It made the experience so much more worthwhile, and I can’t thank Saori-sensei enough for her patience and skilled guidance!
