About Me
italki teacher since Jan 12, 2025InterestsSports & FitnessMedical & HealthcareMusicTravelReading
My name is Norio. I was born in 1951 and raised in Saitama, Japan.
In 1995, I took Japanese Language Training Course and I have been teaching Japanese to foreigners of various occupations since then.
I really enjoy riding my motorcycle. I have travelled across the American continent by motorcycle alone. Also, I have ridden around some countries in Europe.
I do work out at the gym at least 3 times a week.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese for over 30 years. At first, I just volunteered. In 1995 I took Japanese Language Instructors Qualification Course, and ever since I’ve been a teacher to foreigners of various occupations. I believe language is an important means of communication. I’d like to help you improve your Japanese, and stimulate your interest in learning it more. I’ve always strived to help people who visit Japan. And what better way than to teach them Japanese! I’m very patient when I teach. I like to take time when preparing for my lessons. This way I never lack material nor topics in conversations with my students. Lesson type I can offer ranges from individual to small/large group. My lessons & teaching style
I endeavor to prepare well for my lessons. I do so by preparing teaching material appropriate to your needs and your current Japanese level. I own lots of course material, and I’m constantly creating new ones. My lesson components range from very basic Japanese (starting from hiragana and katakana and simple kanjis), to the higher and advanced levels (JLPT N2 and N1). Beside grammar and sentence structure, I like to incorporate every-day conversation too in my lessons. I believe these are vital for your daily life in Japan. With your help and cooperation, I know I can create a significant learning experience which will help you achieve progress in your Japanese learning journey.

今日は文法のトピックに焦点を当てました。ノリオさんは面白くて面白い例文をたくさん示してくれたので、とても理解しやすかったです。漢字をたくさん忘れていたことに気づいたので、次回は漢字にも重点的に取り組みたいと思います。
