About Me
italki teacher since Apr 30, 2022Interest topicFoodMedical & 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。

Today, we had a really enjoyable conversation about Greek and Japanese school curricula, festive days, and holidays. Then, we talked about my travel plan in Japan: where should I go, how easy it is by train, etc. I asked a few things about Kii Peninsula, and Mai-san gave me a clue of what to expect. まい-さん、今日も楽しかったです。ありがとうございます。😀🙏

Another enjoyable lesson with Mai-san! I love our conversations, and I am getting better and better each time. Today, we talked about greek food, how we preserve some fish and red meat, and we also had a short conversation on the train system in Greece and Japan. It was so fun! Thank you Sensei!!

Learned many interesting things about the Japanese population and health system, about how a new mother is treated in Japan, etc. It was a very challenging conversation today that reminded me I need to work hard on my vocabulary (which is within my supposed language skills, but I hadn't really practiced in real conversation till now). まいさん、今日のレッスンもありがとうございました。

Another wonderful lesson with Mai-san! Today, we talked about curriculum in Greek school and student behavior. I talked about my performance at school when I was little. It was really fun. Then we talked about my studies and ended up discussing the differences between philosophy and religion.It was a really nice lesson! Thank you, Sensei!

Today we talked about hanami and walks in the park. About younger generations using technology way too much, about how my generation used to play. we ended up talking about animal-caffe in Japan. It was a lovely conversation. Mai-san was introducing new expressions and gave my feedback all the time! まいさん、ありがとうございます。
