About Me
italki teacher since Oct 21, 2021
I am a Japanese/English Community Tutor. I lived in the U.S. from age 7-12, during which I was able to attain a level in English matching that of the natives. I currently work full-time at a travel company based in Tokyo specializing in inbound travel, therefore communication in both languages is an everyday task. I enjoy talking with people and consider myself an outgoing personality.
私は日本語と英語のコミュニティーチューターです。7歳から12歳をアメリカで過ごし、その後日本の大学院で英語を使って研究を行っていました。7〜12歳の間をアメリカで過ごし事によりネイティブの発音と言語感覚を身に付け、大学院ではさらにアカデミックレベルの語彙力や文章力、そしてプレゼン力に磨きをかけました。現在はインバウンド専門の旅行会社で営業を担当しており、日英両言語でのコミュニケーションは日常の業務の一部となっているため日本語に加え英語も常に使う環境に身を置いています。元々人と話す事が好きで、外向的な性格ですので一緒に楽しくレッスンができれば嬉しいです!
Me as a Teacher
To students learning Japanese, one of my strengths that you may find helpful is my ability to give explanations about subtle notions of Japanese expressions, words, and grammar in English that you otherwise may not understand thoroughly. Students especially at beginner level have told me that they find this very helpful.
As for teaching English, I have experience in working as a language tutor at my university for 1 year when I was in graduate school. The job was to provide advices mainly to undergraduate students who were preparing to apply to exchange programs. It was a very enjoyable job, and I hope to help many students here on italki as well.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conversation-based. During each lesson we will have a conversation about random topics, i.e. something the student did during the week, social events of interest, etc. The process of trying to lingualize what the student has in his/her mind is a great practice of expressing him-/herself and also gaining confidence. We can also use news articles or other media and try to understand what is written or spoken. Practicing pronunciation or writing is also welcome.
私のレッスンは会話を基本に行います。毎回のレッスンで決められたトピックについて会話をする事によって、自分の考えを言語化したり、自信を深めるためのとても良い練習になります。ニュース記事など様々な媒体をを使ってそれを理解する練習も可能です。発音や文章作成の練習も喜んで対応します。

Yuta was great! I learned a lot more in one session than weeks of using Duolingo. His strong understanding of English really helped communicate the more complex concepts of the language. I look forward to the next lesson!
Teacher Yuta has very open approach to teaching. His explanation on certain Japanese language concepts such as pronunciation and how to effectively master hiragana characters was easy to understand😊.

I needed to work on the Te-form and needed example sentences. Yuta was a great help and we were able to talk about some of the nuances also.

Thank you so much for the lesson. It was on some subtle (but I think ... very important) points in Japanese pronunciation. I didn't notice any of those until today.
