About Me
italki teacher since May 10, 2024Interest topicHistoryBusiness & FinanceTravelEnvironment & NatureFood
★ I have been teaching Japanese professionally for about 4 years. Besides the Japanese teacher’s license, I have other qualifications including Guide Interpreter, TOEIC 935, STEP Eiken Grade 1, etc.
★ I have worked for trading & shipping firms for decades, so I have broad business expertise both in JP & EN.
★ Throughout my life, I have enjoyed being a globetrotter, visiting over 60 countries. Recently, however, I like travelling in the countryside of Japan to have fun feeling nature and hot springs, Onsen.
★ I was born and raised in Odawara 小田原, but am now based in Tokyo 東京. As I have been involved in some hospitality industries, I think I am a highly sociable person from earlier years.Me as a Teacher
★ In 2020, I started teaching Japanese to foreigners in business fields at a community center here in Tokyo.
★ I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test 日本語教育能力検定試験 in 2021, and from there officially started my teaching career.
★ I completed a training course for teaching Japanese through the use of English, or the indirect method 間接教授法（英語）, held by the World Japanese Language Centre (WJLC) in Australia in 2022.
★ Several months ago, I started studying Chinese (standard Mandarin) 中国標準語 and am truly enjoying the leaning process towards an intermediate level right now. It is great fun for sure!My lessons & teaching style
★ I can teach everything about Japanese, starting from zero in English. I teach with introductory textbooks, while I can also use general-conversation-based textbooks for those who are 1) planning to visit Japan and 2) not so interested in grammar.
★ To improve speaking skills, I would like you to speak as much as you can. Picking from some topics you are familiar with is perfectly fine, although I can send you some modern news events every week, so you can pick one or two and share your opinions with me.
★ I teach 1) business Keigo 敬語, 2) how to write business emails メール, 3) how to read various materials including business news ニュース, 4) JLPT N1 & N2 preparation, and 5) Job interviews 面接.My teaching material
