About Me

Hello, I'm Hiro, a native of Tokyo!
I have 3 years of experience as a Japanese teacher and can teach both in Japanese and English. I specialize in beginner-level lessons.
I studied in the U.S. for six years, an experience that enables me to help students learn Japanese in a way that bridges cultural differences and enhances communication skills.
With over 20 years of experience in English education, I use my knowledge to carefully support the language learning process. This background enables me to provide clear explanations and effective learning strategies tailored to each student's needs.
Let's enjoy learning Japanese together!Me as a Teacher
While studying in the U.S., I taught Japanese privately to both Asian and American students, including university students and professionals, for two years.
Currently, in addition to teaching TOEFL preparation to Japanese students, I have been offering online Japanese lessons to foreign learners for the past year.My lessons & teaching style
The actual lesson using Genki proceeds as follows:
I first ask students to look over the vocabulary lists and grammar points in a chapter before the lesson. (All of these are explained in English. French and Spanish versions are also available.) Then, we go through the exercises for the chapter at students' pace. I also encourage them to submit exercises from the workbook for review. The next lesson begins with reviewing the submitted workbook exercises. After completing one chapter, we move on to the next in the same manner. During the lesson, I place great importance on daily conversation in Japanese to ensure that the knowledge students acquire can be applied in real-life situations.My teaching material
