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!
