About Me
italki teacher since Nov 25, 2021
私は、外資系の製薬会社で長い間働いていました。そこで新しい薬を開発する仕事をするとともに、外国人とのコミュニケーションの重要性を学びました。
私は元々、日本語を学び、日本の文化や歴史に興味を持っている外国の人が好きで、そういう人に日本語の勉強をサポートしたいと思っていましたので、リタイア後、日本語教師を目指し、昨年公認の日本語教師の資格を取りました。
趣味は、ゴルフ、プロ野球観戦、映画鑑賞、旅行、ミステリー小説、プラモデルなどです。
My name is Fujio HAYAMA. I was working for some foreign affiliated pharmaceutical companies for a long time, and in charge of new drug development. I learned importance of the communication with foreigners there. I originally like foreigners who are studying Japanese and interested in Japanese culture and history, so I really want to support such learners of Japanese. My hobbies are golf, walking, professional baseball movies, traveling, mystery novels etc.
Me as a Teacher
My career of Japanese language teacher

My lessons & teaching style
I think the most important matters in a private lesson are:
(1) Produce the lesson in accordance with the learner’s purposes and needs/requests
(2) Enhance the learner’s satisfaction and keep learner’s motivation for study continuation
(3) Increase the learner’s speaking time as much as possible and make corrections on the spot if any errors/mistakes
Therefore, I will carefully confirm your purposes of learning Japanese, needs, requests and level etc. by preliminary communication with you, and then I let you choose one of the following 5
courses. A: Free talk B: Grammar C: Listening and speaking D: Reading comprehension
E: Business related matters (Combined courses are acceptable.)
This was my first lesson with Fujio Hayama and it was wonderful! I've been studying mostly on my own for 1 year and he was immediately able to assess my ability and match his speaking to my level. We talked about my learning goals and how his lesson structure might be able to assist with them. We even had time in this first lesson to read a passage he screen shared that I was able to read the majority of with no help. I'm very excited to continue classes with him!
