Hello, everyone! I like teaching, talking, and making friends.
My hobbies are cooking, sewing, reading books, gardening, traveling, and so on. My hobbies are varied! Because I'm brimming with curiosity. I like to challenge myself to new things.
I was born in Fukuoka and now live in Oita. I love animals, especially cats!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese for 15years since 2009 and have been teaching English as well. Before becoming a Japanese language teacher, I taught mathematics too. My lessons & teaching style
Basically using textbooks (Minna no Nihongo / Genki/ Japanese for busy people and so on ).
And I give homework.
Depends on the person, I can help you read books together in order to understand the meaning, or support to taking the exam such as JLPT.
If there is your demand for translation, a movie or talk, etc, I would like to meet that demand as much as possible.My teaching material

I have only had 13 lessons with Annie先生, but I can say that she is by far one of the best teachers I've had for anything I've ever been taught. She does more than enough to challenge my understanding of the content studied during in and out of lessons and has always managed to make them very entertaining. I am more than happy to recommend her to anyone studying Japanese. I am delighted with the quality of her teaching and hope that she continues to tutor me as I continue to advance my Japanese studies.

Thank you for being so flexible with us this week! Even though it was Golden Week, you kept working with us and were able to help us with material outside of the textbooks lesson plan! You're very kind, 先生, and we really appreciate all your hard work. Thank you so very much!

We had a great year of lessons. I really enjoy our lessons and I thank you very much!
Tonight we worked on conversation and grammar. It was fun. And we talked about Christmas, New Years, and snowmen. Thank you

The lesson with Annie today was great, it's always enjoyable for our son! He really enjoyed grammar with her and says he wants to keep focusing on it. :-)
This is the 3rd lesson, so far we've been able to cover conversational Japanese, Math, Kanji, typing in Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji, grammar, etc. It's a lot for a kid his age, but he's trying very hard while balancing homework too. His end goal is to be able to understand and speak Japanese!

First lesson with Annie先生 and it was great! I'm a beginner in conversational Japanese and Annie先生 was very patient and helpful in explaining things that I didn't really understand. She also encourages you to talk and ask questions without any judgement.

Annie-Sensei is a wonderful teacher and the environment is far more comfortable than when I took Japanese at University.
To give more context, my University environment felt somewhat toxic and too hard to learn since it was focused solely on grades, bad teaching and harsh criticism from teachers.
However, with Annie-Sensei I feel much more comfortable with revising the basics and pushing to go back to my original level of N4 along with learning new things.
Thank you Annie-Sensei
