About Me
italki teacher since Apr 30, 2022InterestsFoodMedical & HealthcareTravel
I’m a retired teacher. I taught elementary students for 38 years which allowed me to be equipped with the necessary skills to teach Japanese in a fun and enjoyable manner.
After retirement, I studied to become a Japanese teacher because I like talking with people.
I like traveling and I have been to several countries. I’ve been to many places in Japan so I am knowledgeable about a lot of tourist destinations.
During my free time, I play table tennis once a week. Furthermore, I have played the ukulele for over 15 years. After the pandemic I want to perform some songs while playing the ukulele in parties.
I’m really looking forward to talking to people from various countries.Me as a Teacher
I am currently a licensed Japanese teacher. But I want to gain various experiences as a community tutor in italki.
During our lessons, I use several Japanese textbooks.
For example; Minna no Nihongo, GENKI, FUN&EASY, TOBIRA, IRODORI(Web), and JLPT.
I can respond as much as possible to the needs of learners from beginners to advanced.
今、日本語教師の勉強を終わり、日本語教師のプロの資格を取りました。
このitalkiのコミニュティーチューターでいろいろ経験を積みます。
日本語の教科書は、「みんなの日本語」「げんき」「FUN&EASY」「とびら」「いろどり(web)」などをそろえています。学習者に合わせて、対応していきます。学習者の要望にできるだけ対応します。(初級から上級まで)それだけ、自由が利くということです。
教師としての経験を生かして、楽しくわかりやすいレッスンをします。My lessons & teaching style
Lessons will be conducted in Japanese. If we can’t communicate well, I can use the English language for any explanations and clarifications. For this reason, I continue to study the English language.
レッスンは、日本語を通して行います。どうしても、伝わらないときは、最低限の英語を使います。
そのために、英語の勉強を続けています。My teaching material
