About Me
italki teacher since Oct 9, 2024InterestsFoodHistoryTravel
I have a cheerful yet serious personality, and I became a Japanese teacher because I wanted to interact with people from other countries and learn about various cultures and customs. I am passionate about teaching Japanese. Drawing on many years of experience, I strive to make my lessons enjoyable and easy to understand. I am committed to supporting learners of Japanese, walking alongside them as we grow together. I look forward to working with you.Me as a Teacher
I discovered the fun of the Japanese language in Sydney. After returning to Japan, I taught group lessons at a Japanese language school (covering daily conversation, business conversation, JLPT preparation, etc.). Following that, I taught at an American school on a U.S. military base. Later, I became a freelancer, and for about 20 years, I have been offering private lessons to business professionals, traveling to various companies.My lessons & teaching style
Even for beginner-level students, I try to speak as much Japanese as possible that matches their level in the classroom. I have used a wide range of textbooks, so I will teach carefully according to your preferred textbook. I always aim to provide lessons tailored to the learners' needs and goalsCertificates

I'm so glad to be able to discuss and answer the many grammar questions that swirl in my head thanks to Ruko-sensei's help! :-)

As a very competent teacher, Ruko-sensei always helps me reduce my confusion about Japanese grammar patterns, while at the same time making our conversations pleasant and relaxed. Highly recommended.
