About Me
italki teacher since Mar 3, 2020
Hello there. My name is Hikaru and I am a Half Japanese graduate student currently residing in the Philippines.
I have an Engineering background and a certificate for JLPT N2.
After teaching English and Japanese part time I wanted to be able to connect people through language.
My hobbies include reading, writing, Netflix and games. In particular, I like Mobile suit Gundam everything, Final Fantasy VII and XIV.
こんにちは!僕は光と申します。日本人のハーフで、大学院生で、現在フィリピンに住んでます。
工学の履歴がありまして、日本語能力試験N2でもあります。
英語と日本語を教えた後に言語に通して人と人をつなぐのがいいことだと思い始めました。
趣味は読書、物書き、ネットフリックスとゲームです。具体的に機動戦士ガンダムとFFVIIとXIVが好きです。
Me as a Teacher
I am very detail-oriented, always seeking to correctly use the languages I speak. I am also very chill and relaxed when teaching so there is at all no need to feel pressure during our classes. My motivation for teaching is primarily rooted to the personal satisfaction of being able to connect with different people and cultures.
言葉を正確に使うのはこだわります。それでも緩いところもありまして、教えるときにできるだけ何の遠慮もしないようにレラックスなままで授業を行われたいと思っています。さまざまな人と文化に直接かかわりができるが自分のモティベーションとしているものです。
My lessons & teaching style
Please understand that I will try to communicate with you prior to our lesson before approval to confirm your goals/intentions.
Our lessons will primarily be a live conversation through a video call. To ensure that we take note of the many words and sentences that shall pop up during the lesson, I will make use of the chat box.
For those who wish to study for the IELTS or TOEFL please inform me via a private message and we shall make arrangements for that.
I may also prepare homework as per request.
授業は基本的ビデオコールで行われます。できるだけレッスン中に浮かぶ言葉と文がしっかり記録できるようにチャットログを利用します。
日本語能力試験N4か、あるいはN5のために勉強する方に参考本の元気IとIIを使用することもできます。
IELTSか、あるいはTOEFLを受ける方にはリクエストでアレンジをお願いします。
最後に宿題を用意することもできます。よろしくです!
