アニメや漫画も好きです。Me as a Teacher
I have taught Japanese for about 8 years in Japan, India, Myanmar, Malaysia and Mexico.
I can teach students from complete beginners to those who wish to study in Japan, depending on their objectives.
日本、インド、ミャンマー、マレーシア、メキシコで、合わせて8年くらい日本語を教えました。
完全な初心者から、留学希望者まで、目的に合わせて教えることができます。 My lessons & teaching style
I can teach from absolute beginners. Feel free to come to my classes.
I teach grammar explanations, etc. in English, so it is better if you understand English.
I usually give you homework, but you don't have to do it if you don't have time.
Learning the letters must be the first thing you do. Without the skill of reading and writing, your Japanese will never improve.My teaching material

レッスンありがとうございました。今日はとても勉強になりました。たくさん質問をしていただいて、自分の文法や語彙の弱点がよく分かりました。少し難しかったですが、その分とてもやりがいがありました。いただいたQuizletや資料も活用して、もっと復習しようと思います。これからもよろしくお願いいたします。

Akemi Sensei is wonderful. She is impossibly kind and thoughtful. Even though I am by no means a natural linguist, she has helped me tremendously, with patience, good humour, and care. ありがとうございます!
