My lessons & teaching style
⭐️ Conversational Japanese
- For beginner to intermediate, I use the CAN-DO method textbooks such as Irodori or Marugoto with lots of listening and speaking practice to strengthen grammatical knowledge.
- For upper-intermediate to advanced, I offer free conversation lessons based on your interests and requests. (topic-based, grammar-based etc)
🗣️ My lessons focus on conversation to improve your communication skills.
🗒️ I will share notes for your review after every lessons.
Please see the "Lessons" section for more details.
커뮤니케이션 중심 수업
- 초급 ~ 중급 : CAN-DO 교재 (Irodori, Marugoto) 사용, 다양한 주제에 대해 회화와 문법을 익힙
- 중상급 ~ 상급 : 프리토킹 (토픽별, 문법 정리 등 여러 형식으로 진행)
🗒️ 매 수업 후 복습용 노트를 공유해 드립니다.

I'm really happy to take classes with Kiyomi-sensei. She prepares her lessons thoroughly, and they are always well-structured. She also regularly makes sure the content is at the right level for me and checks whether I understand everything well. She takes time to explain the points I didn’t understand, giving plenty of examples, which I really appreciate. She’s very encouraging and has a wonderful personality that makes me feel comfortable during the lessons.
I also love that she teaches me Japanese mainly in Korean : it makes the learning process more effective thanks to the similarities between the two languages.
Another thing I love is the balance between speaking, reading, and the exercises we do to practice the grammar or vocabulary learned in class.
先生、今日もお疲れ様でした!

Very happy and satisfied to have met my current Japanese tutor, Ms. Kiyomi! She’s always been nice and professional in every class and gives me a lot of motivations as well as useful guides for Japanese learning. Not only limited to textbook contents such as vocabulary and grammar but she’s also open to personalizing your class based on your own preferences in learning style as well as Japanese language and culture related interests so you can learn it fast and fun! Thank you so much Ms. Kiyomi for becoming my teacher, looking forward to improving my Japanese with you further! :)
