ゆっくりでも だいじょうぶ! たのしく れんしゅうしましょう。 こんにちは、Yokoです。 東京の日本語学校で働(はたら)いていました。 今は、外国から来た小学生と中学生に日本語を教えています。 先生になる前は15年間、ITの会社ではたらいていました。 私の趣味は、旅行、ミュージカルを見ること、いろいろな国の料理を食べることです。 休みの日は、英語や中国語を勉強したり、子供とたくさん 遊びます。 Hello, I'm Yoko. I used to work at a Japanese language school in Tokyo. Now, I teach Japanese to elementary and junior high school students who have come from overseas. Before becoming a teacher, I worked for 15 years at an IT company. My hobbies include traveling, watching Korean dramas, and trying food from different countries. On my days off, I study English and Chinese, and spend a lot of time playing with my child. 私は東京の日本語学校で日本語を教えていました。 今は、子どもに教えたり、オンラインで大人に教えたりしています。 私の生徒は、初心者(biginner)が おおいです。 日本語を使って日本語を教えています。 みなさんが、わかるように、絵や写真をたくさん使います。 I used to teach Japanese at a language school in Tokyo. Now, I teach children in person and also teach adults online. Most of my students are beginners. I teach Japanese using Japanese. To help you understand, I use a lot of pictures and illustrations. Don’t worry, I understand a little English, so you can ask in English if you like. 私のクラスは、この2つです。 1 Grammer for Beginners 初級文法 2 Conversation Practice 会話練習 You DO NOT have to have a textbook, but if you would like to use a textbook feel free to tell me. 教科書は いりません。使いたい人は教えてください。 Textbooks I can use are げんき GENKI みんなの日本語 初級 Minna no Nihongo Elementary Japanese まるごと MARUGOTO いろどり Do you think it's more important to practice conversation than to learn grammar?

Today I had a grammar for beginners class with Yoko-San. The lesson was absolutely useful and now I feel very confident about using the sentence structure we covered. Thank you Yoko-San for helping me improve so much!

I have been having lessons with Yoko-san consistently once a week for almost two years now. I am very happy with how Yoko-san is supporting my learning journey. Her materials are great and neatly organised online so I can always retrieve past lessons. Even though I mostly book grammar-based classes, she always creates occasions for quite a bit of chatting. As a result I can now express myself more freely. Based on my experience, I recommend Yoko-san to anyone who wants to learn Japanese!

Another lovely lesson from Yoko! She is so supportive - especially when I’m trying to talk about a whole concept using just 2 or 3 words that I remember!

I have been studying Japanese with Yoko-san for a year anf a half now. I did both conversation and grammar classes. I started as a complete beginner and am now A2 level using Marugoto. I do not always have time to study as I work full time. Yet, I am now able to have conversations and express many things in Japanese! Every lesson with Yoko-san is a joyful and very rewarding experience. She is very committed to the success of her students and shares very useful materials immediately after class. I could not recommend Yoko-san strongly enough: she is a really great teacher!
