Hi! I'm Sae. I am a certified Japanese language teacher.
I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. I speak standard Japanese.
My major was Chinese language and I have lived in China for 2 years. I currently live in the U.S.
My hobbies are traveling, cooking, and watching movie/anime. I also like to learn about other cultures and languages.
大家好，我叫SAE。我来自日本东京，我说标准普通话。
我很喜欢去旅游，做饭，看电影、也很喜欢学习中文。我是个开朗，爱说话的人。很期待在我的课程里和你聊聊你有感兴趣的事。
こんにちは。私の名前はさえです。東京出身です。今はアメリカに住んでいます。
食べること、話すこと、運動をする事が大好きです😊Me as a Teacher
I started teaching Japanese online in 2020. I have experience teaching mostly Chinese and Western students. I can tailor lessons to suit your learning style. I will do counselling with you before your first lesson in order to assess your Japanese learning style.
我有很多对中国学生教日语的经验。因为我也学过中文和英文，我能理解学习外国语的困难。
我觉得学习语言的时候最重要的是不要害羞多一点说话。My lessons & teaching style
We can learn Japanese grammar through textbook study, or we can focus on improving reading skills by reading online news.
If you would like a more casual learning experience, we can practice Japanese simply by free talk. I can decide which topic, or you can tell me what you want to talk about.
＊In my class, I use a "Direct Method" for teaching, which means I will try to only speak Japanese in my class. I believe that can help to improve your listening and speaking skills.
*Webcam is required
Please check camera before we start our first lesson.
*Please do not take a voice/video recording of my lesson without asking me for permission first.

I took some conversation lessons with Sae-san before preparing a trip to Japan and she helped me go through various situations I might be faced with during my trip. It was a lot of fun despite of my initial panic to speak Japanese. But Sae-san is really easy to talk to and we had a nice conversation flow despite my obvious limits. Sae-san also speaks excellent English, which can be really usefull when you're stuck after all. ありがとう ございました！

Another great lesson! We went over two articles and discussed the topic. I also got to read them out loud to work on my pronunciation. I can already see the improvement on my reading and speaking skills. ^-^

Sae-sensei is always very patient with my many questions, and clearly explains concepts and grammar. She also pitches the classes in a way that is not too difficult, but also enough for me to learn something new! I always enjoy Sae-sensei’s classes!
