I’m a certified Japanese teacher and started to teaching Japanese since 2017. I'm teaching one on one lesson in Italki and group lesson at a Japanese culture center in NC.
I am very beginner friendly since I'm teaching a lot of beginner students now. If you just started learning Japanese, do you want to try my lesson?
For intermediate, you might have a experience that you were just focus on listening in a group conversation and couldn't talk a lot. I totally understand and I can help you with my teaching skill, patience, and encouragement. The more you speak Japanese the more you can improve! So please don't hesitate to make mistake in my class!My lessons & teaching style
★Every one is welcomed! ★
For beginners, I am usually using the Genki text book and my original google slides along with the textbook to improve your understanding more and show more example sentence of practical use.
For intermediate and advanced students, I use some textbooks, some articles, sometimes youtube videos ,songs, anime, newspaper articles to practice conversation, listening and reading.
I can give a lesson if you are interested in health and nutrition(I am working as a dietitian for Japanese people)
I recommend you to book a trial lesson, we can talk about your learning aims and make a plan for you.My teaching material

Maiko is an excellent teacher! She makes the classes fun and explains topics clearly. She's very patient, and I feel comfortable trying and making mistakes, which is important for learning a language.

I had a great lesson learning a lot of new vocabulary related to the end of chapter 14 Genki, and speaking about traditions in England. Many thanks Maiko.

I have had a great experience learning with Maiko 先生! She provides a very comfortable learning environment and is very kind. When I make mistakes, I don't feel embarrassed because she makes me feel as though I am speaking with a friend. She is great with correcting mistakes and moving forward. We use the Genki textbook which has been a good way to keep on track each week. I recommend Maiko 先生 because she makes it very easy to attend each session since it is very fun and easy to speak with her.
