Call me Nattie. I am a certified Japanese language teacher with over 7 years of experience. I currently teach on italki, at online schools, and for companies. I also occasionally work as an examiner for Japanese speaking tests. When I was a child, the first book I asked my parents to buy was a book of world flags. That was the beginning of my interest in cultures and languages. Now, I’m happy to support people interested in Japan and the Japanese language. 💼Experience Currently, in addition to teaching Japanese, I am also involved in the planning of TV programs. I have experience working at a newspaper company and a design company. 🎯Strengths I am good at teaching Beginner & Intermediate grammar. If you know grammar but struggle to speak, we can also practice conversation while reviewing grammar together! I studied phonetics at university, and I continue studying linguistics and Japanese education to improve my lessons. 📚Lessons  ★1-on-1 Lessons   ├─ Interactive Conversation   ├─ General Japanese (Grammar)   ├─ JLPT   └─ and more!  ★Group Classes *Minimum class size: 1 student   ├─ Mystery Games   ├─ Dialects Quiz   ├─ Traditional Events   └─ and more!   📍Details are at the bottom.   💡Recommended for fun, different lessons. 📩If you are even a little interested, feel free to try a lesson!

Having had lessons with other tutors who mostly offered a free conversation format, I was looking for somebody who had higher qualifications and could teach grammar in detail. I was pleasantly surprised in my trial lesson because she seemed very well prepared, she has lots of activities to offer. I was a little nervous because she doesn't speak English, so not having English to fall back to was a little scary but she is really good at understanding what I mean even when I'm not able to form the sentence I want. Her speech feels very clear, I was even surprised because of how well I manage to understand her despite the occasional word I need to search in the dictionary. On top of her skills as a teacher, she is very nice to talk to and I feel very safe talking to her. So far I have taken a trial lesson and a grammar lesson and I'm very happy with how much she's already managed to teach me. I'm very excited and I'm looking forward to continue learning with her. Thank you so much!

단순히 읽고 답하지 않고, 자유롭게 생각하며 말할 수 있게 수업을 하셔서 재미있고 적극적으로 참여하게 됩니다.

I had my first ever tutoring session with Nattie - I have very little conversational Japanese experience, but she was able to go at a pace that I could keep up with! She explained her lessons and gave a demo of one - it was really beneficial! I intend to continue taking lessons with her, maybe after brushing up on the basics a bit first :)

She always chooses materials that are just perfect for me. For example, today my lesson was about imperatives, and we read common signs that used imperatives that I might see on my up coming trip to Japan. My lesson with Conatsu is always fun, and I learn so much!

Wonderful teacher. Very patient. She is very good at guessing what I want to say. She uses language that I can understand and she speaks slowly and clearly. She creates interesting examples to practice the concepts I am learning.
