I used to be a preschool teacher/Japanese language teacher at bilingual program in San Francisco for 6 years. After I came back to Japan, I became a private sushi chef to teach how to make sushi mainly and certified English speaking tour guide to introduce Japanese culture in a variety of aspects to a great number of tourists from all over the world. Me and guests always had great time together not only teaching and learning but also getting to know each other as human beings.
Teaching Japanese culture is my passion! Now I want to offer my skill and knowledge to people who want to learn Japanese language. Let's have fun together!
サンフランシスコで保育士と日本語の先生をしていました。日本のことをいろんな人に教えるのが大好きです!
Me as a Teacher
My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors.
My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler.
日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。
My lessons & teaching style
I will be flexible in style of the lesson and it totally depends on students' interests. Focusing on conversation without any materials, writing hiragana, katakana and kanji, studying grammar mainly by using your favorite textbooks, reading articles about current issues, and etc. We can discuss together how our classes should be conducted in advance. Lesson materials will vary from youtube videos to cooking books. Let's create unique lessons together just for you to achieve your goals and have fun! If you have any questions and concerns, please feel free to contact me any time.
クラスで何をするかはいっしょに考えていきましょう! 会話、ひらがなやカタカナ、教科書を使った文法の勉強、日本語の記事を読むなど、みなさんがやりたいことをクラスでしましょう!

I enjoyed our conversation and learned a lot in the process. Mamoru sensei is great at giving constructive guidance and keeping a balance of natural conversation and corrections. I look forward to another lesson!

It's been a while since I've had time for a lesson but Mamoru-San, as aways, was extremely helpful in breaking down the Japanese I made mistakes on. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn!
