Me as a Teacher
I am a certified Japanese language teacher with a passion for helping students develop confidence in their speaking abilities and achieve their language goals. As a fellow language learner—studying both English and Italian—I fully understand the challenges and rewards of learning a new language.
私は日本語教師養成講座を修了しました。学習者さんが自信をもって日本語を話すことや、目標に到達するお手伝いをするのがとても好きです。私自身が英語とイタリア語の学習者なので、新しい言語を学ぶことの難しさや、その達成感を十分に理解しています。

Hiroko was very responsive and fun to talk to. I would forget words at times and she helped me with learning proper speech patterns. She left notes on what has been said and things I could improve on which helps me review and improve. Overall great experience!

I have been taking conversation focused classes with Hiroko san since last year and she is an excellent teacher and conversation partner. She is super kind, listens attentively, asks great questions and is really good at keeping the conversation flowing. She is also a very interesting person with diverse experiences so it is always fun to speak with her. Book a class with her today, you will be happy that you did!

Hirokoさん is an amazing teacher. She's friendly and easy to talk to, and she's great at finding interesting topics to talk about. I have really bad speaking skills so I always shy away from speaking but Hirokoさん is very patient, so you can practice speaking a lot even if you're nervous. She also phrases things in a way you can understand and gives you feedback with phrases from the lesson. I always look forward to our next lessons!

Hirokoさん is a very patient, friendly and nice teacher. I had a fun first lesson chatting about all kinds of things. She's really good at asking good questions which keeps the conversation flowing. She also introduced a number of very useful words that I can use later.
