5年の経験あり。特に会話力を上げたい方向け♪ Perfect for those who want to improve their conversation skills! みなさん、こんにちは!ことこです。 今までフィリピンとカナダに住んだことがあります。 私はいろんな国の人と、文化や食べ物、考え方などの違いについて話をするのが好きです。 趣味は言葉を学ぶこと、ドラマや映画を観ること、イラストを描くこと、歌うことも好きです。 今まで社交ダンスの衣装デザイナー、ショッピングモールのインフォメーション、ゲストハウスのマネージャー、Webデザイナーの仕事をした経験があります。 Hi everyone! I'm Kotoko. I have experience living in the Philippines and Canada. I love to communicate with people from other countries about various topics (differences between culture, foods, way of thinking and so on) And also I love learning languages, watching dramas, movies, drawing and singing. My working experience is wide, from working as a costume designer of Ballroom dancing, a receptionist in a shopping mall, a manager of a guest house and a web designer. 私は今までプライベートで日本語を教えてきました。 会話をする中で、新しい表現や文法を説明して使えるように教えることができます。 I'm friendly, patient and easygoing:) so you can easily talk to me without pressure. I have experience teaching Japanese in private lessons and I know Japanese systems. So I can explain grammar and vocabulary through conversation. 私のレッスンはできるだけみなさんに日本語を話してもらえるように会話中心です。 決まったテキストは使いません。 私は基本的には日本語で説明をしますが、みなさんが困った時は英語も使います。 スピーキング力を上げるには話すことが一番大切だと思っています。 そしてもっと大切なのは楽しいことです! みなさんに日本語を話すのが楽しい!と思ってもらえるようにサポートします(^-^) I want you to use Japanese as much as you can in my lesson. My lessons are conversational so we won't use textbooks. And I speak Japanese basically. I believe that conversation is the best way to improve speaking skill. And more important thing is enjoying it! I'm looking forward to supporting you can enjoy speaking Japanese :)

ことこ先生はとてもいい先生です!Kotoko Sensei is very patient and friendly by creating a very respectful and relaxing atmosphere for speaking Japanese. She is very knowledgeable about multiple fields so you can basically talk to her about anything. She not only provided corrections for mistakes, but also added on related grammar usage and explained the nuance within each expression, which I find very helpful. ありがとうございます!来週のレッスンを楽しみしています!

Thank you so much for another great lesson, Kotoko-sensei! I really enjoyed our conversation and the grammar exercises. Kotoko-sensei is very kind, approachable, and pedagogically skilled. I highly recommend her to any Japanese learner.

I have had many lessons with Kotoko sensei at this point and she is an incredible teacher. Each of our sessions are always fun, I get my questions answered beyond the example sentences I provide in class about the things we are learning together, and she is always open to having conversation about my interests and Japanese culture and of the like. She promotes a healthy learning environment that is productive to me as a student and engages at my level or a little bit above which pedagogically strengthens my language ability. I still have a long way to go but I also felt I have made great progress studying with Kotoko sensei.
