About Me
italki teacher since Feb 12, 2022Me as a Teacher
I'd like to create a casual, relaxing, and comfortable atmosphere during our conversation. We can start talking about ourselves a little bit to get to know each other and discuss what/how you'd like to learn Japanese first.
Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!
If you can't find the time that works for you, please feel free to ask me :)
一緒(いっしょ)に楽しく(たのしく)お勉強（べんきょう）をして行きましょう！My lessons & teaching style
My lesson style is conversational.
I believe the fastest way to improve your Japanese is to speak in Japanese frequently and often.
Just as important is to think and create what you want to say in each situation.
We can talk about current events or any other subject that interests you. If you would like to practice reading as well we can read an article and have a follow-up discussion. Don't worry about making mistakes because making mistakes is a part of the learning process.
That's why I'm here for you to help with your Japanese! 😊

Classes with Maki are always so much fun! She is friendly, easy to talk to, and easy to understand. I highly recommend her classes.

It was another top quality lesson. We reviewed homework and conversed in a way that evoked lots of good questioning. Maki sensei is perceptive and patient. She also clearly enjoys doing this kind of work and it is contagous.

Easily one of the best Japanese teachers on italki. I'm learning so much in Maki's lessons.

This lesson was contextualized as we conversed about the upcoming holidays. I've had the good fortune to work with Maki sensei several times now. She's an excellent teacher.

Maki sensei is using a conversational method that is helpful and engaging. She customizes each lesson and includes discussions that come out of a student's interests and activities.

MAKI先生との授業はいつも一週間のハイライトです。一番勉強したいのはカジュアルな日本語ですから、先生と友だちみたいに話せるのは最高です。先生は本当に親切で、ミスしたら優しく直します。あんなに気楽な環境でシャイな私も安心して練習できます。レッスンの後先生がおくる新しい単語のリストもすごく役に立ちます。先生とのレッスンは全体的に好きで、本当に本当におススメします！
