Me as a Teacher
I've been in school for 10 years, teaching lessons on this platform for 5. Students say they can take exams well , but difficult to speak. they have difficulty communicating with Japanese. Why? To solve it, you need a little technique. I can teach it .Focusing on Japanese communication and practicing to expand vocabulary
The things I'm careful about make the students feel relaxed in my lesson.
My lessons & teaching style
Focus on conversation, vocabulary, Japanese special expression.
There are three types of speech in Japanese. Friendly style, polite style, and honorific style
Practice conversation according to the situation. Who would you like to talk to?
Do you know what to be careful about? Even if the grammar is correct, you shouldn't say it. For example, asking your boss, “Do you want to go on vacation in the summer?” Do not simply translate this word for word. That's rude. My lessons focused on communication.

Teacher’s pick
Kumiko-sensei is clearly an experienced teacher and picked up on mistakes very quickly. The trial class went very smoothly and we were able to agree on a lesson plan for future lessons based on my needs.

Kumiko-sensei is a real professional, catching little details which many other non-professinal native speakers would overlook. Highly recommended!
I had a really late request with Kumiko-sensei to prepare for a job interview. She patiently listened to my Japanese and helped me make appropriate, context-specific adjustments. She also suggested a path forward with my lessons. 教えてくれて、ありがとうございました。

Kumiko-sensei is a wonderful teacher. I was nervous about our trial lesson but she is very easy to talk to, nice, and very helpful. I would recommend if you're on the fence about italki consider a trial lesson Kumiko-sensei.
