About Me

こんにちは！
I’m a native Japanese speaker from Yokohama.
Currently living in Japan but I stay in Switzerland time to time.
My major is the English linguistics.
I can speak not only Japanese but also English(B2) and French(B1).
I've studied English at an university in New Zealand in 2014 and in 2016, I went back there for working holiday. I’ve studied French at an university in Switzerland in 2019.
So I know how difficult to study/learn languages. And also I’m pretty open-minded as I see many people from different cultures.
My hobbies are playing games, drawing and visiting museums!
Lately, I started learning how to play the kalimba too.
I love Pokémon as well <3Me as a Teacher
I’m a professional teacher having a certificate to teach Japanese.
I communicate with Non-Japanese in simple Japanese on a daily basis whether at work(not as a teacher though) or in private.
As a teacher, I would like to face to you gently and patiently :)
I think that it is not easy to keep up learning languages if you get nervous in the class.
So, in my lessons, you can get relaxed and I support you to study at your own pace.My lessons & teaching style

ありがとうございます！Thank you teacher! Classes wih Erina teacher are always great and very informative. She explains everything fully and well so I can understand the meaning behind the words (which is something I'm personally interested in), and always has a lovely demeanor - a true joy to talk to.
I look forward to my Japanese classes every week and appreciate the opportunities to study in my spare time with the homeowrk she makes and provides (otherwise I'd probably not study as I always get distracted oops). I highly recommend her classes for those wanting to start learning Japanese- there's no stress or pressure at all!! :)

Erina さん is a great teacher to ask about grammar questions and learn different strategies to use what you learn. I really appreciate her enthusiasm for grammar as well as the detailed explanations she provides for each question I may have! 文法はErinaさんとが大好きです。ありがとうございました！

Thank you teacher!! Today's lesson was very good, it's been a while since my last class so we were reviewing the former points and finished the book unit we were on. I always enjoy my lessons with Erina and look forward to the next :)
