Hi! I am Saori, live in Hokkaido, Japan. My favorite activities are snowboarding, cycling, hiking, onsen and anime. Also love travel and love to learn something new. I am always hungry to know more, Let's talk and learn from each other:)

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

・Elementary grammar (Minna no Nihongo textbook based) Studying Japanese basics with my original power point slides and textbook. We will study sentence structures to expand the range of expression, also do speaking practice a lot. ・Conversation practice I will encourage you to speak a lot and develop topics. You can practice natural interaction in conversation. I will tell you different way of expression and correct pronunciation if needed:) ・Pitch accent & pronunciation Learn and practice Japanese pitch accent&pronunciation with word level and sentence level. You can bring example articles or I can provide too. We can also use a textbook. 🦥Please be relaxed and Let's have fun!!🦥

I have been taking lessons with Saori on and off for a long time since I was a beginner. She provides are very comfortable atmosphere and is friendly. I'm at the talking stage and she's great at picking up what I'm trying to say and helping me speak more naturally.

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!
