About Me
italki teacher since Sep 11, 2020Interest topicTravelFilms & TV SeriesMusic
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 a college 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 and China. I also like music especially J-Pop and K-Pop, movies, anime and so on.
I'm learning English, Bisaya and Tagalog.Me as a Teacher
I'm a professional Japanese teacher and a native Japanese speaker. I completed all the requirements of Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours). I teach Japanese from 1st year to 4th year collage students. So I can teach Japanese at a variety of levels from beginner to advanced.
I know that it's difficult to learn foreign language, but I will be your personal teacher, so you can ask me everything about Japanese and also Japanese culture.
Since I lived in Kyoto and Osaka, Japan, I can also teach Kansai dialect.My lessons & teaching style
In my lesson, we will do Conversation, Grammar, Listening, Reading comprehension and preparation for JLPT.
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

今日も楽しかったです。今、日本語を使うのはもっと自信を持っていますよ。嬉しいです。時間を読むことできますけれども「よ時」や「よん分」など忘れないように次のレッスンまでもっと勉強しなきゃ。次のレッスンを楽しみにしています。
