About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020Me as a Teacher
I lived in Canada for three years and taught at Japanese language and culture schools for children in Vancouver and Montreal. I really enjoyed teaching there and this motivated me to complete my Japanese language teaching certification and pass the Japanese Language Education Proficiency Test. After getting the certificate, I started teaching Japanese.
以前３年間、カナダに住んでいました。バンクーバーとモントリオールの日本語と文化を教える学校で子供たちに日本語を教えました。それがとても楽しかったので、日本語教師養成講座を修了して、日本語教育能力試験を受けようと決めました。合格した後、日本語を教え始めました。 My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I use textbooks (e.g., “Minna no Nihongo Ⅰ/Ⅱ,” “Genki Ⅰ/Ⅱ,” etc.) to teach in Japanese, just like in a Japanese language school in Japan. Whether you want to practice a conversation topic of your choice or want to study business Japanese, I would like to accommodate your requests. If it’s difficult to ask questions in Japanese, you can use English.
私のレッスンでは、テキストを使って日本にある日本語学校のように、日本語で授業をします。自分が選んだ会話のトピックを練習したい方、ビジネスの日本語を勉強したい方など、リクエストにも答えたいと思います。もし、日本語で質問するのがむずかしければ、英語でも対応します。My teaching material

Shunpei is very professional and always tailors the lessons to suit my level and knowledge. We move at a comfortable but steady pace, covering a mix of vocabulary, grammar explanations, and practical exercises. I’m encouraged to complete tasks independently but receive guidance when needed. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, which makes the lessons enjoyable and effective. I’ve learned a lot and always look forward to the next class.
