About Me
italki teacher since Jul 30, 2025InterestsTravelFoodReadingAnimation & ComicsHistory
I am Japanese teacher with a few years’ experience.
Now I started to use italki!
My farmer job was tour guide in Tokyo for foreign guests.
During my tours, many guests showed great interest in Japanese language, so I started teaching Japanese.
I use a lot of knoledge of Japanese culture, history and common daily things in my lesson as my students love such style when learning.
As for the private, I have two kids.
I enjoy to play them everyday.
I also love travel.
When I was single, I was a backpacker for more than one year to go to over 50 countries.
As other thing, I play traditional Japanese instrument, Tsugaru Shamisen.
Hope you enjoy my Japanese lesson :)Me as a Teacher
My experience as a Japanese teacher;
I teach Japanese one-on-one to international students living in Japan.
Besides, I do teach online lessons to students around the world for years.
As I had been in Australia (Adelaide) for 2 years and traveled to lots of countries for more than 1 year, I can speak English well.
I use English in my beginner lessons,
so you can feel easy to understand learning Japanese.
Then, as your Japanese get improved, I will increase the amount of Japanese for explanation.
Qualifications;
- High school and junior high school teaching license (Japanese history, Geography)
- Nationally certified guide-interpreter
- TOEIC score: 940 My lessons & teaching style
My lesson is for complete Japanese beginners.
You can start to learn basic Japanese alphabets first, and very common phrases like greetings.
Then, we will learn basic grammars with a lot of practice.
During lesson, many materials are used; flyers for natives, Japanese restaurant menu, companies or store's website, you tube, Japanese anime characters and so on.
My current students enjoy it pretty much
Then, you will learn Kanji (Japanese Chinese characters) as well.
You can also do practice of reading and writing, so you will obtain total Japanese skill.
