My name is Harumi. I was born and raised in Japan.
I studied music in a college in LA, and then went to Brazil.
I leaned Portuguese there just by listening, and it opened my eyes how important it is to use your ears when you learn a language.
Now I'm back in the US and teach music and languages online besides making YouTube videos.
I love traveling, and I used to do backpacking in all over the world.
Olá! Tudo bem? Sou Harumi.
Sou japonesa casada com brasileiro.
Fui ao Brasil e morei lá uns sete anos. Atualmente moro nos EUA dando aula on-line.
Gosto muito de viajar e conhecer as pessoas!
こんにちは！はるみです。

日本語以外にオンラインでポルトガル語やブラジル音楽などを教えています。Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching more than 20 years now.
As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014.
But I also taught music, English and other materials for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion.
I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day.
I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson.
Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to, of course, improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties.
I've been discovering a lot of things by learning languages as a student, and that's helping me to set my mind and to reflect to and to improve my own lesson.My lessons & teaching style
I have materials to practice building Japanese frases in your head and start speaking right away.
I'm also good at explaining grammar.
If you're a total beginner, don't worry, I'll explain everything in English or other languages, but I also want you to challenge to listen pure Japanese and try to understand the context.
For intermediate and advanced students, I use articles and stories to strengthen their proficiencies.
I love talking about culture or history, too.
I can always customize your lessons depending on your needs, or I can measure you level instantly.
From my lots of teaching experience I always have ideas what you need to do in order to improve your skill to achieve your goal.My teaching material

Harumi-sensei is very attentive and picks up on areas where I'm struggling. She's encouraging, so it pushes you to keep trying.

Harumi-sensei sensei is great at naturally adjusting the lessons. She will always have a lesson plan, but if the opportunity arises for the lesson to turn into a conversation practice... she will naturally guide it in that direction, helping me correct mistakes I make along the way or pointing out patterns I may not be aware I'm using correctly or incorrectly.

Harumi Sensei is always extremely well prepared with new material every lesson, and explains complex grammar exceptionally well! I can feel the improvement in my Japanese with every lesson.

Harumi was a great teacher and introduced her teaching style on the trial lesson. Very patient, responsive, and flexible as I wasn't able to articulate my Japanese level. She was able to identify it and match it, presenting excellent appropriate lesson
