About Me
italki teacher since May 14, 2020Me as a Teacher
As a professional teacher I have taught Japanese language and culture at a couple of universities and language schools overseas. My highest qualification is master's degree in Japanese, which I earned in 2016.
I believe having fun in learning is one of the most important thing. In my class I'll be flexible with your ability and learning style, and provide you with a plenty of opportunities to practice speaking in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. It would be an honor if I could assist you to learn new things about Japanese language and culture.My lessons & teaching style
In general I will follow a communicative style, so that we can maximize the time you practice speaking.
We can use a textbook (Genki, Minna no nihongo or other), and learn all the four skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing) in a structured way. Or if you wish, you can practice a specific area that you want to improve. For advanced students, a themed class or business Japanese class would be possible as well.
For beginners we can communicate speaking English or German, although we want to speak Japanese as much as possible.
Many of my students practice speaking spontaneously in informal lessons as well.
