Certified teacher with over 15 years experience of teaching Japanese in school and private lessons. I am a Japanese native and I have been teaching Japanese for more than 15 years in schools and private lessons. In 2016 I passed the Japanese Teaching Competency Test. I am passionate to teach and share the joy of learning Japanese with you! My students say that my class is friendly and funny but makes them work enough to learn. You will tell me what your goal is and I will tailor your lesson. Each person has a different style to learn. Whatever level you are, we discuss and find out what is your best way to approach. I am flexible and easy to adapt to your need. I offer two types of classes for you: Japanese for beginners and intermediate: This class is for students who want to have solid basic skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I strongly recommend being familiar with Japanese scripts, Hiragana. I use Genki I, II and/or Marugoto or Irodori for beginners. And for intermediate students, I use "Marugoto Intermediate", " Reading Road" and/or " Tobira". Of course, I will use other resources too. Informal conversation for all levels: A casual conversational lesson with any topic.

After being Keiko's student for nearly 2 years, I have learned so much about Japanese grammar, vocabulary, and culture, and I feel more confident about my Japanese language skills. She was always able to explain every weird grammar question I had, and always pushed me to learn new things. I am moving to Japan soon, and thanks to Keiko's help, I am not worried about being able to communicate with native Japanese speakers. Thank you for being my teacher and becoming my friend, Keiko sensei! ありがとうございました、ケイコ先生!
