こんにちは!
I’m a native Japanese speaker from Yokohama.
Currently living in Japan but I'll go to Switzerland in May 2023.
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 <3

Me 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.

I'm so grateful to work with Erina さん to expand my use of Japanese! She is very patient and helps me to revise sentences when I say a mistake. I appreciate all the grammar points (because I love grammar!) and because these concepts help me to use the language more broadly. ありがとうございます、Erinaさん!I know I will continue to improve with your excellent help!

I am so happy to meet Erina さん。She is kind and very patient, and takes great interest in you as a student. For our first free talk lesson together, she asked me some questions about me based on my italki profile, and she helped to give me some vocabulary to create better sentences. I really appreciate her support in reading カタカナ、which is a weak skill for me, and practicing reading ポケモン names was very fun! I learned a lot already in just our first lesson, so I look forward to meeting again soon. :) ありがとうございました、先生!

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!
