About Me

Hi, I'm Shuko. I was born and raised in Tokyo, but now I live in Osaka.
I like listening to music, KARAOKE singing, and watching musicals. I'm addicted to eating spicy food.
Teaching Japanese is my passion. I really enjoy communicating with people from all over the world.
I hope you will enjoy learning Japanese and everything about Japan!
みなさん、こんにちは。しゅこです。私は東京で生まれ育ち、今は大阪に住んでいます。
趣味は音楽を聴いたり、カラオケで歌ったり、ミュージカルをみることです。辛い食べ物を食べるのも大好きです。日本語を教えることは、とても楽しいです。いろいろな国の方々との交流を楽しんでいます。
一緒に、日本語、日本をなんでもかんでも思いっきり楽しみましょう！！Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching Japanese for more than 18years at University, Japanese language schools, businesses and private lessons.
Because I have two kids myself, I can teach Japanese patiently while making it fun.
Even though my English is not good enough to explain grammar in detail, I will make sure that you understand it in simple Japanese. It will help your conversation skill!
