About Me
italki teacher since Jun 11, 2019
Konnichiwa! My name is Saki. I am a native Japanese speaker, born and raised in Japan. I graduated from university in 2019 with a degree in language education and I have been a language teacher on italki for about 1 year now. I used to work in a guesthouse in Osaka as a front staff, so I know a lot about tourist attraction spots in Japan and also Japanese culture! I am interested in a range of topics including literature, arts, language, education and travel. Also I really enjoy meeting people from all around the world. こんにちは、サキです。italkiで日本語と英語を教えています。大学では小学校の外国語教育について勉強し、昨年小学校から高校までの教員免許を獲得して卒業しました。 興味のあることは、映画・ダンスやアート、教育や言語について、そしてまだ私が知らないことについてです。人と出会うこと、旅をすることも大好きです!

In short amount of time my speaking has gradually improving. Thanks to Saki, she has been very encouraging and patient which is excellent for my learning process :) . We can talked loads of topics and she helped me out with the new vocabulary along the way. Talking to her is always like talking to a friend as she enables me to feel comfortable speaking in Japanese. おしえてくださって ありがとうございます!

Saki Sensei is a very accomplished and super polite teacher. She infused the conversation with great energy and dynamism. Her voice is extremely clear - and very easy to understand. Always pleasant and making sure that speaking Japanese was going to be fun! The lesson was over Skype - line quality was extremely clear. I really liked the way Sake San added notes in both Hiragana and Kanji whilst the lesson was in progress. Totally neat! I am very much looking forward to having many more lessons and conversations with Saki San. Saki San, 本当にありがとうございま 。

Saki is a pleasure to learn from and talk to. She clearly has a passion for languages, and this comes through in the lessons, which makes language acquisition for me even more stimulating. I am fascinated by how much you can learn about a culture simply through its language and Saki has been extremely accommodating in this regard. I always look forward to our lessons. Arigato goziamasu!

It's always great talking to Saki. This time, we hadn't spoken in a while and had a lot of catching up to do. I had brought a friend to a Tokyo bar Saki recommended on one of my recent Japan trips, and it was a great time. Looking forward to our next talk!
