Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I am
1: Patient and engaging. A happy atmosphere.
2: My goal is to increase your “confidence” and “joy” in speaking Japanese!
3: I use many words and phrases that native speakers actually use!
4: I speak at a normal speed. (Of course, if I speak too fast, please let me know.)
5: I will improve your conversation skills and motivation!
* My classes are mostly conversational. I recommend that you study grammar with an expert teacher.
Of course, questions are always welcome.
*A2 or above is recommended.
In my study of English, I have met some fascinating teachers. I decided to start teaching Japanese here because I wanted to be able to help those who are learning Japanese as well.
My lessons & teaching style
Let's talk slowly at “the Sawa Cafe!"
Do you worry about making mistakes when you talk with your friends in a cafe?
1: Relax! Let's start our class!(Close your textbook in the conversation class)
2: Choose to talk “with your friends (TAME-GO) “ or “with neighbors or strangers (DESU/MASU).”
3: Relax again! Don't be afraid of making mistakes, speak positively.
4: I will give you more natural conversational expressions with a native speaker's feel.
☕️Please feel free to contact me by message first!
📖I am learning English just like you! I am not fluent, but I can speak very simple English.

I've had a great experience with Sawa-sensei! They have a fantastic personality and are genuinely interested in helping you learn. They pay close attention to pronunciation and correct your mistakes, making sure you understand by providing explanations in Japanese.
The lessons don't have to be rigid for you to learn a lot. Recently, we've been playing a videogame in Japanese together, which has been incredibly effective for learning new vocabulary/kanji, and grammar. This way it's a really interactive 'you are actually using this vocab now' experience instead of random words in a textbook people may not actually use.
I highly recommend Sawa-sensei to anyone looking to improve their Japanese!

I had a great time learning Japanese with Sawa. They were very patient and took notes on all of my questions, as well as the vocab/grammar that I struggled with. After the lesson, I was provided with a document with all of our lesson notes. Very convenient! Thank you!

最初のレッスンはとても楽しかったです。私は自己紹介をして、先生は質問をしました。リラックスして日本語で話すことができると思いました。私は何度もミスしたが、先生は親切で忍耐でした。ぜひまたレッソンを予約します。
I had my first lesson with Sawa-sensei and it was fun! I introduced myself, and she asked questions. I could relax and speak in Japanese and even though I made mistakes, she was kind and patient. I'll definitely book a lesson with Sawa-Sensei again.

There's never a dull moment in Sawa San's class. She always seems to understand what you're trying to say and knows how to correct your mistakes in English. Additionally, she suggests natural ways to form your sentences to help you sound more Japanese. 5/5
