About Me
italki teacher since Jan 12, 2022
Hello, I'm Mina from Japan.
I was born and raised in Aichi prefecture, which is located between Tokyo and Osaka.
I like watching movies, do house DIY, reading books (Manga included), and also travelling.
I've been to some countries in Europe such as Germany, the Czech republic, France, Spain and Poland. Also some cities in the States and Canada. I love learning about other cultures and languages! So in the lesson, I'd love to know about you as well!
Me as a Teacher
I speak normal, standard Japanese without dialects.
As a language learner, I know how hard it is to learn other languages, especially in the beginning. I can speak English as well, so I can support and explain things in English if necessary.
I can adjust my way of speaking (casual or formal), depending on how you want to speak.
My lessons & teaching style
My Lesson will be based on our conversation. We can talk about movies, travelling, manga and anime, life style, culture and basically anything. I will correct you when you make mistakes, or tell you other expressions if there's anything that sounds more natural.
If you're a beginner, I will talk slowly and explain in English if necessary. Also we can use your textbook and learn basics from it.

Thank you Mina!
I've been taking Mina's class for months now, and she's been great in every class! Super understanding, and patient.
Always keeping the class fun, talking about things we both like. Highly recommend as always!

Mina_San is a wonderful tutor. I suffer from near paralyzing performance anxiety but Mina's patience and friendliness puts me at ease to where I'm not as terrified of making mistakes. I am certainly going to book more lessons with her.
