About Me
italki teacher since Sep 11, 2020InterestsFoodFilms & TV SeriesAnimation & ComicsTravelMusic
Hello everyone. I'm Toru. I was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan. I live in the Philippines now. I'm a Japanese teacher at several universities and a company in the Philippines. I like to travel and I've been to several countries. The places are Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Guam, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Turkey, China etc. I also like music, especially J-pop and K-pop, movies, anime, manga, etc. I am very fond of Japanese anime and manga, so I am sure we can have a conversation about them as well.
I'm learning English and Filipino.Me as a Teacher
I'm a professional Japanese teacher and a native Japanese speaker. I completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours). I teach Japanese from 1st year to 4th year university students. I also teach Japanese to employees of a company. So I can teach Japanese at a variety of levels from beginner to advanced.
I know that it's difficult to learn a foreign language, but I will be your teacher, so you can ask me everything about Japanese and also Japanese culture.
I am also learning English and Filipino, so I can understand your feelings about learning another language.
Since I lived in Kyoto and Osaka, Japan, I can also teach the Kansai dialect.My lessons & teaching style
In my lesson, we will do Conversation, Grammar, Listening, Reading comprehension, Preparation for JLPT, etc.
Please inform me what you want to do or learn.
I will give you feedback.
I'm a friendly person, so we would enjoy our lessons.My teaching material
