3 years teaching experience! Very friendly tutor :) 明(あか)るい雰囲気(ふんいき)のレッスンで楽(たの)しく練習(れんしゅう)をしましょう! **Currently【The lesson for Starter】is closed.( TДT)ゴメンヨー** Hello! My name is Hinako. I was born and raised up in Japan. I have been teaching Japanese online about 3 years. I am living in the Netherlands about 5 years with my Dutch husband and I study Dutch little by little. I have worked at a company about 12 years in Japan. After I quit the job, I went to England and lived there for 2 years to study English and to work as a volunteer. My hobbies are going to theatre and watching musicals (especially Takarazuka) and singing. I also love dogs! I studied about Japanese literature and I am interested in Japanese history as well. I love talking, so I am looking forward to talking with you! ★I will be in Japan from 9 January 2024 to 6 March 2024! So the lesson times during that period will be in Japan time.★ I have been teaching Japanese online about 3 years and I really enjoy it. I am studying English and Dutch, so I really understand how difficult learning new languages. I am very patient, friendly and I love to talk with people :) I would like you to enjoy studying and practicing Japanese! **** I will send you a message about your Japanese level after I got your lesson request.

It's been a while since I had a lesson with Hina sensei (due to busyness) but I really appreciate how we can pick up right where we left off! She is so fun to chat with and always creates a comfortable learning environment! ありがとうございますひな先生!

Here's my English take: From the first lesson, ひなこ was someone I wanted to talk to. She's funny and easygoing and I consistently look forward to my lessons with her. I often book for more than once a week because I always know that no matter what we talk about, I will have a good time. If you are nervous to speak in Japanese, as I was a few months ago when I first started italki lessons, this is the teacher for you. No judgment, no impatience, just hilarity and interesting topics. ひなこ is also good at English (despite what she says to me) and can help you find the word you're looking for when you're tired and it's Friday and you spent all week studying and you just can't think of what the heck "documents" is in Japanese! (it's 書類 by the way). Book her lessons now and never regret it. ひなこへ さすが、楽しかったですよね。いつもありがとうございます!もっと一緒に話したいです。まー簡単日本語ですけど、頭がもう疲れたもんですね。じゃあね!

Hina-sensei is an amazingly patient teacher and has helped immensely in improving how natural my Japanese expressions and sentence structures are. I'd highly recommend her to anybody. She is always fun and upbeat. Thanks to this, somehow she managed to turn a mundane topic like "legal contacts" into one that made me laugh until tears came out.

Hina is such a great teacher! We always have something to talk about and she is very patient e.g. when you are looking for a word and need a moment to remember it.
