Hi, My name is Motoe from Osaka, Japan. I live in Turkiye right now. I have lived in the UK, Botswana, Tokyo, and Osaka. My hobby is hand crafting like crochet, and I can talk about anime or manga. I am reading manga almost every day. Except for Italki, I am working as a freelance web graphic designer.

Me as a Teacher
I have limited experience as a Japanese instructor, but I can offer a variety of topics. I have given over 10 lectures as a guest speaker to students ranging from elementary to high school, sharing my volunteer experiences in Botswana.
講師としては経験が少ないですが、様々な話題を提供できます。講師としては、ボツワナでのボランティア経験を小学生から高校生までの子供たちに、10回以上1時間の講義を行ったことがあります。
My lessons & teaching style
Basically we will have a conversation in Japanese. Also I can explain in English or Turkish. If you have special theme, let me know before the class.
基本的には、日本語で会話する形式です。英語やトルコ語で説明もできます。話したいテーマがあれば、事前にメッセージで教えてください。

Teacher Motoe makes the chat engaging and easy to follow. She picks up questions quickly and is very patient when explaining. She is truly a gem!

This was my first class (as an absolute beginner) and I really appreciated the textbook guidance, audio, and going over things several times. Looking forward to the next class! :)
