The joy of learning never ends. Let’s explore the beautiful world of Japanese together! こんにちは!せいこです。 大学で日本語教育を専攻し、日本語を教え始めて15年以上になります。日本語学校、企業研修、個人レッスンなどで教えてきました。2020年からはitalkiで世界中の学習者に教えています。 Hi! I’m Seiko. I majored in Japanese language education and started teaching over 15 years ago. I have taught at language schools, in corporate training, and through private lessons. Since 2020, I’ve been teaching students from around the world on italki. 私が大切にしているのは、「日本語を話す」から「日本語で話す」へ進むことです。覚えた文法や単語を使って、あなたの好きなことや考えていることを話してみましょう。間違えても大丈夫です! My goal is to help you move from “speaking Japanese” to “speaking IN Japanese.” Let’s use what you’ve learned to talk about what you enjoy and care about. Mistakes are welcome! 私は好奇心が強く、いろいろな話題に興味があります。カナダで生活し、現地でも日本語を教えた経験があります。また、二人の息子を育ててきました。知らない分野でも、質問しながら会話を広げるのが大好きです。 I’m naturally curious and enjoy a wide range of topics. I also lived and taught Japanese in Canada, and I’m a mother of two sons. Even if I know little about a topic, I’ll happily ask questions and keep the conversation going. 生徒さんからは「安心して話せる」「会話が途切れない」「自信がついた」とよく言っていただきます。初級の方も大歓迎!文法や語彙を基礎から学びながら、実際に使える日本語を楽しく練習しましょう。必要なときは英語で質問しても大丈夫です。 My students often tell me they feel comfortable, enjoy our conversations, and gain confidence. Beginners are welcome too! We can learn step by step and practice practical Japanese. You can also ask questions in English when needed. 日本語を勉強するだけではなく、日本語で人と話す楽しさを一緒に見つけましょう! Let’s discover the joy of not just learning Japanese, but communicating in Japanese! お会いできるのを楽しみにしています。 I look forward to meeting you!

I have been meeting with Seiko-sensei for about a year now while living in Japan. I've done both grammar lessons and conversation sessions with her. She's excellent at explaining Japanese grammar and has often supplemented those lessons with her own materials. She also has really helped me learn more natural ways of saying things in Japanese. As a mom with a kid in a local school, it's wonderful to be able to talk to another mom who has a lot of insight into that experience. I am able to learn not only relevant Japanese, but also gain a better cultural understanding of schooling in Japan.

With the expertise from her major and the experience from years of teaching, Seiko Sensei explains grammar points clearly, and helps me find the the right words based on what I want to say. She is friendly, knowledgeable, talkative, and can carry a lively two-way conversation, which is very important in a private conversation lesson. I highly recommend Seiko Sensei to anyone looking for a 1-on-1 Japanese teacher.
