🇬🇧Hello, everyone! I'm Nozomi, a Japanese teacher living in Spain. I'm originally from Tochigi Prefecture in Japan, and I speak standard Japanese. I also have been studying English and Spanish myself, so I understand both the challenges and the joys of learning a new language. It might not be easy but a great way to discover yourself and expand your opportunities!
🇪🇸Hola a todos! Soy Nozomi, una profesora que vive en España. También he estado estudiando inglés y español por mi cuenta, por lo que comprendo tanto los desafíos como las alegrías de aprender un nuevo idioma. Puede que no sea fácil, ¡pero es una excelente manera de descubrirse a uno mismo y ampliar sus oportunidades!
Me as a Teacher
🇬🇧I began teaching Japanese in 2022 and quickly discovered that I enjoy both teaching and communicating with my students. As a result, I completed a 420-hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course and received my certification. While I am friendly and easy to talk to, I am also passionate about helping my students improve their Japanese skills.
🇪🇸Comencé a enseñar japonés en 2022 y pronto descubrí que disfruto tanto enseñando como comunicándome con mis estudiantes. Como resultado, completé un curso de formación avanzada de 420 horas para profesores de japonés y obtuve mi certificación. Si bien soy amigable y fácil de hablar, también siento pasión por ayudar a mis estudiantes.
My lessons & teaching style
🌸 Free Conversation: Let's enjoy casual Japanese conversations about your daily life and interests. If you encounter unfamiliar grammar or vocabulary, we'll address them as they arise. I'll provide tailored grammar practice and materials based on your level and goals. Plus, I'll make a list of new words and grammar points after each lesson.
🌸Grammar lessons with Genki : While learning new vocabulary and grammar, we will practice using them in conversations right away. You'll also get plenty of practice in creating your own phrases! I'll provide book images; no purchase necessary.
😉I'll use Japanese during our lessons, but don't worry, I can explain in English or Spanish if you prefer!

Words cannot explain how much I love learning with Nozomi-san. She transformed learning Japanese from a simple interest into something I eagerly look forward to every morning. She is always friendly, easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable no matter where in your Japanese learning journey you are.
Anytime I have had doubts about how I am progressing, she helps me see that I am getting better little by little. She is quick to adjust to any needs or questions that may arise and we always share a laugh and some fun conversations. Her knowledge is very apparent, and the way she explains concepts is easy to follow and well structured.
In my opinion, if you are looking for the best Japanese teacher on italki, you have found her here with Nozomi-san!

As most of you will agree, learning a new language is a bumpy road. Particularly for self-study. However, thanks to Nozomi's lessons, I feel back on track to make progress. Despite the many mistakes I make, she is very patient and kind as she explains useful vocabulary and grammar to me. In addition to the lessons from the Genki textbook, there is plenty of room for real conversations that are normally difficult to practice in self-study. I feel strengthened to continue studying Japanese. Thank you, Nozomi sensei!

Initially I was looking for a teacher in italki to support my Japanese self-study. I had trial lessons with several teachers, but personally Nozomi Sensei suited my learning style the most. I have had 4 sessions so far, so I feel I could provide a more unbiased review.
One major point I like about her teaching is how she corrects my speaking and sentence examples respectfully and kindly, with no judgement. Her explanation is easy to understand and whenever I feel confused about some grammar points, she patiently repeats her explanation until I understand. She also likes to go the extra mile at her explanations whenever there are important grammars or vocabularies related to my questions.
And lastly, she is a very flexible teacher for a self-taught Japanese learner like me. I regularly list questions before the session begins and she explains them all in detail during the session!

I really enjoy my time with Nozomi. Nozomi makes each lesson easy for me to understand and learn from. Her words of encouragement and her smile, even when I get things wrong, really helps put me at ease.

Nozomi is a great teacher! I like very much having classes with her, as she is very patient and has a student-oriented teaching style. She adjusts to my current level of Japanese so she creates speaking exercises where I can practice what I am currently learning. She also explains grammar in a very easy-to-understand way and this helps me consolidate my knowledge very well. I definitely recommend studying with her!
