Me as a Teacher

I understand how hard leaning languages is because I've been leaning some languages. I've experienced to live with a lot foreign people and hold international events in japan and meet many people to learn Japanese. So I know difficulties which Japanese uniquely has. But, NO WORRIES! I'll teach you on your level. Let's have fun studying together! . . . . . いくつかの言語(げんご)を学(まな)んできましたので、言葉(ことば)を習得(しゅうとく)する大変(たいへん)さをよく知(し)っています。また、ボランティアで日本語(にほんご)を教(おし)えたことがあり、日本語特有(にほんごとくゆう)の難(むずか)しさを理解(りかい)しています。でも、大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)です！あなたのレベルに合(あ)わせてしっかりと教(おし)えていきますので、一緒(いっしょ)に楽(たの)しく学(まな)んでいきましょう！

My lessons & teaching style

In all lessons, I mainly focus on speaking skills! I understand how frustrated speaking in your non-native language is, but don't worry. I'm patient and calm, so I'll kindly help and motivate you. ①Free Conversation Class **Best for students in A2 or above. You can talk about a topic you want.

Another fun class with Mei! She was very patient helping me with several topics I've been struggling with. I really appreciate the flexibility to cover different topics easily during the class!

This was my second lesson with Mei! Prior to this, it had been over six months since I had a Japanese lesson, so my confidence in my abilities was not high when I decided to start studying again. I'm lucky that I decided to restart my journey with Mei! She is so patient and helpful! I immediately felt relaxed speaking Japanese again! She creates a very comforting environment for learning and practising! I feel very lucky to have her guidance as I restart my Japanese journey!
