Me as a Teacher
I am a professional Japanese teacher living in Nara and I've been teaching on italki since 2020. I've also been teaching local Japanese children English for 30 years.
I like playing tennis, watching dramas and movies. Also I love traveling. I've visited many places and love to learn different cultures.
If you're looking for a friendly, patient, and knowledgeable Japanese teacher, I'm here to help you. My lessons & teaching style
In the General Japanese Course for Beginners, you can systematically learn vocabulary and grammar step by step. I believe that strong foundation is very important for learners. My lesson is based on the textbook "Minna no Nihongo" but I create original worksheets for students. So students do not need the textbook during my lessons and these worksheets will give you many chances to practice speaking. I offer vocabulary list and PDF of the worksheets before or after each lesson.
In the free conversation lesson. We'll talk about whatever you like in Japanese. I will correct your pronunciation and grammar if needed. Let's enjoy learning Japanese with me.My teaching material

As a new Japanese learner, Keiko sensei's lessons are excellent! The lessons are well structured and she provides you the material to practice outside of class. She is encouraging and her teaching style is effective for me because she builds on grammar/vocabulary during the lesson and allows me to practice speaking a lot. I've been very happy so far with my lessons, and I would highly recommend Keiko sensei if you want to learn Japanese.

I've been taking lessons from Keiko-san for a couple months now and she has been a fantastic teacher! She has been extremely supportive and patient with any questions or struggles I run into. In the past I have struggled a lot with learning Japanese but Keiko-san has made sure to keep me on track with my language learning journey. Taking her courses has been the best investment I've made in terms of tools and help for learning. ありがとうございます けいこさん！

Keiko-san was very patient with me when I made mistakes and spoke slowly and clearly so I could understand. I really enjoyed our conversation lesson.
