こんにちは😊 (konnichiwa)
My name is Kana, your reliable and patient teacher.
I understand the challenging and rewarding of learning languages, that’s why I’m here to support every step of your journey. I don’t just teach you what to say—I teach you effective methods to use it confidently.
⭐️About me
📍I will back to Japan 🇯🇵 at the end of March! I will continue teaching full-time!
・ Traveling (I've been to 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽🇰🇷🇹🇼🇹🇭🇨🇷)
・ Watching a drama (I really like Korean drama)
・ Eating 😋 (I especially love spicy food)
Let's talk about what you enjoy too!Me as a Teacher
•Linguistic background: My major was English literature and linguistics. So I know what methods are effective for learning. I will share tips that helped in my studies.
•Linguistic empathy : With a background in linguistics and experience studying English, Spanish, French, and Korean, I have a deep understanding of how different languages work. While I mainly teach in Japanese and English, my knowledge of these languages helps me understand the specific challenges you face based on your native grammar!
•Real-World Experience: I spent a year in Montreal, Canada. I’ve felt the frustration of not being able to communicate, so I promise a judgment-free space where you can go at your own pace. My lessons & teaching style
In our first class we’ll start by getting to know each other! I want to hear about your life, your interests, and your motivation for learning Japanese. Together, we will set clear goals so you always know exactly what you are working toward.
📌My lessons are fully tailored to you
・Genki for grammar ( If you want to use other text book, please bring it with you.)
・JLPT(N5-N1)
・Japanese natural conversation( discuss a topic, describe a picture, read out a article etc)
・I create a Google Doc for every student. During our lesson, I’ll record new vocabulary and sentences in real-time. This becomes your personalized study guide that you can access anytime!My teaching material

I had a very good time in my first lesson with Kana-sensei! She is very cheerful and very patient, even when I search for words, which I really appreciate. She spoke slowly and clearly and it was very easy to have a nice conversation with her. Thank you!

I had a great time discussing my Disney World trip with Kana-sensei! I showed her some of the souvenirs I bought and we talked about some Disney movie titles in Japanese. We then compared the size of Disney World in different countries and discussed different units of measurement. It was fun!
