Hello!! I'm Wakako!! I'm from Kumamoto, Japan, and I've been living in the United States for about 15 years. I graduated college in the US. I learned English from zero, so I know the excitement and hardships of learning different language!Me as a Teacher
I'm not a certificated teacher, and I'm currently learning to teach Japanese. I have experience tutoring Japanese during college, and I also have experience teaching Japanese to kids.
I am friendly and talkative. I enjoy teaching Japanese and sharing our culture.
I'll do my best to help you understand and to answer any questions. I may not be a professional teacher, but I want to be like your friend who can enjoy conversations and doesn't make you feel afraid of making mistakes. My main focus is to make you feel confident in Japanese and to teach you real practical Japanese (not just text book style)!My lessons & teaching style
★ Intermediate to Advanced level learners:
The lessons are mainly conversation styles. I believe that the best way to improve language skills is through actual conversations. I would like you to apply the grammar and vocabulary that you have learned and get used to using them. I will teach the phrases that fit better and sound more natural in the conversation as we go by.
★ For Beginner learners:
I will teach you Japanese step by step, so please relax and enjoy! I may use original slides for basic grammar lessons, and I can also teach you how to write Hiragana and Katakana. Let's enjoy learning Japanese language together so that you can communicate in Japanese!My teaching material
