🎥YouTube: @Inasena_Nihongo_Yoshi 🏅Instagram: @inasena_nihongo_yoshi ✍️Note (Blog): https://note.com/inasena_nihongo ★ I have been teaching Japanese professionally for about 5 years. Also, I have some other qualifications including Guide Interpreter, TOEIC 935, EIKEN Grade 1, etc. ★ I have worked for trading & shipping firms for decades, so I have broad business expertise both in JP & EN. ★ 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. ★ 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 planning to visit Japan and 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.

Yoshi's Easy Japanese for Travelling course was excellent preparation for my trip to Japan; it included loads of helpful vocabulary and basic grammar which were relevant for day to day interactions. The tools he provided were also very useful as a reference, which I could refer back to. He also teaches these materials in a fun & easy going manner. Highly recommended for this travelling to Japan soon!

Yoshi sensei’s grammar lesson is very helpful! I thought I understood particles pretty well but, he really goes into detail with examples of when and how to use Japanese particles naturally and correctly. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher to anyone interested in Japanese, and would recommend this lesson for anyone who wants to better understand particles. Looking forward to the next lesson! ありがとうございます

今日は尊敬語と謙譲語について学びました。市販(しはん)の日本語の文法書では、尊敬語の作り方の一つとして「れる・られる」が紹介されていますが、今回のレッスンで、この形はあまり使われないということに気づきました。また、「ご確認しました」よりも「確認いたしました」のほうが自然な表現だということも学べて、本当に勉強になりました。先生、次のレッスンもよろしくお願いいたします！

Yoshi is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and it is easy to see that he enjoys what he does, which further fuels my interest in my Japanese adventure.
