Hello, Iโm Kazumi๐
Let me introduce myself. Iโm from Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and I currently live in Aichi Prefecture. I also lived in Tokyo for over 10 years!
I have more than 10 years of experience in singing and acting. Iโve won singing contests and appeared in Japanese dramas . I also have over 10 years of experience in the food service and sales industries โจ
People often describe me as cheerful, friendly, and easy to get along with๐
My hobbies are watching soccer and other sports, and enjoying delicious food.
Currently, I teach Japanese to adults aged 18 and over, covering the basics, conversation, and useful Japanese for travel โจLetโs study Japanese together๐Me as a Teacher
I teach Japanese to adults aged 18 and over at the beginner level (JLPT N5โN4).
I truly enjoy teaching and find it very rewarding๐I have completed six months of training as an online Japanese teacher, and I also teach on other platforms.ใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใใI am skilled at teaching in a structured way using textbooks๐
Since Iโm also studying English myself, I understand both the fun and the challenges of learning a new language.
I always aim to create lessons that motivate each student, encourage steady progress, and provide a safe space to practice speaking with confidence. My lessons & teaching style
Since I would like you to be exposed to as much Japanese as possible, classes will basically be conducted in Japanese.To make the lessons easy to understand even for beginners, I use gestures and slides with illustrations.If necessary, you can communicate in simple English๐ใ
๐ฟ Lesson Contents ๐ฟ
ใปIn my class, we use the textbook 'GENKI'๐
ใปI also teach using original slides with illustrations.
ใปYouโll have plenty of practice using grammar in real-life conversation phrases.
๐ฟ What Makes My Lessons Special ๐ฟ
ใปA fun and relaxing lesson where you can learn.
ใปItโs possible to learn to speak Japanese even from zero.

I have had a total of 3 lessons with Ms. Kazumi so far as well as others booked in advanced. Kazumi is professional, nice, easygoing, soft spoken and considerate. I enjoy her lessons that I hardly notice an hour has gone by. Lessons are done in Japanese, which I love because immersion is key, if I do have trouble she does communicate in English if I make any mistakes. I feel as I am getting a grasp on the Japanese language day by day along with the help of her instructions. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to start your Japanese language journey!
I look forward to completing all of Genki 1, and continuing my Japanese language journey with Ms. Kazumi with Genki 2.

I am loving my lessons so much! Really enjoy using the Genki textbook and notebook. I donโt have time to review materials throughout the week so I really like doing the homework. I hope to practice more katakana as well. We are reading more and I feel like I can somewhat understand Japanese better. Highly recommend!

We still use Genki textbook and the workbook for homework, which I am enjoying since it motivates me to review what was learned the previous lessons. I am up to the part where we are reading more. Kazumi-San is very patient and wait for me to think of my answers until I surrender on my own! Highly recommend.

I had my first Japanese lesson with Kazumi and it was a great experience. She was very friendly and patient. As it was my first time learning on iTalki and with a tutor, she made me feel comfortable and encouraged throughout the session.
Iโm looking forward to continuing lessons with her!

Update:
I have been working with Kazumi-san for about 3 months now and I have learned a lot and my Japanese has improved immensely not only from the work bork as well as from the practice through immersion. We are almost finished with Genki 1 and I am looking forward to working with her on Genki 2!
Lets put my studies to the test:

Kazumi is very well organized and runs a very efficient lesson. She does a very good job of incorporating relevant graphics into the grammar lessons.
