Comprehensive courses with up-to-date methods🧑‍🎓 Hi there! I'm SoSo, 36 years old, a native Japanese. I was so obsessed to teach Japanese that I decided to do it as a professional. I also enjoy being a "furry", which is an otaku for animal characters. I travel around for furry events. Beside of that geeky activity, I had worked in an animal hospital and an animal shelter before. So I'm familiar with animals and animal issues in Japan. Profession/Interest: Veterinary medicine, Animal welfare, Furry, Fursuit, Drawing, Street dance, Juggling, こんにちは、SoSo(そうそう)と言います。35歳の日本人です。趣味で絵を描いたり、ジャグリングやストリートダンスをしています。ケモナーという、動物のオタクで、ケモノイベントのためにいろいろな国へ行っています。今までに、台湾、タイ、アメリカ、ドイツ、スウェーデンに行きました。 I started my career as a volunteer Japanese tutor. After 1 year of tutoring in a conversational class, I started online private lessons. I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2020, and completed the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in 2021. 私は2020年に日本語教育能力検定に合格し、2021年に2018年に日本語教師養成講座を修了しました。 ボランティアの日本語教師として、1年間会話クラスを担当した経験があります。 For your clear understanding, I don't hesitate to use English to explain grammar or to answer your question. Please check my "lessons" page for detail of each lesson. 文法の説明や質問の回答の時は、英語を使うことができます。レッスンの詳細は、それぞれのレッスンのページを見てください。

I'm really enjoying my lessons with SoSo. He's really making sure that I'm getting the most out of every lesson. When I get distracted he gently gets me back on topic. He remembers things that are relevant to my life, and is patient when I fight my way through Japanese grammar. I'm looking forward to every lesson. I can recommend SoSo as a teacher to anyone that might be a bit nervous about starting to speak, or that is looking for a friendly conversation partner with fun interests.

SoSo was a great teacher, easy to understand, and helpfully providing natural vocab and grammar for my broken sentences. Looking forward to more lessons!

I've been taking lessons with SoSo for a little over a year now and he has been instrumental in the success of my Japanese learning journey. I can always count on SoSo to investigate my questions if he doesn't know the immediate answer and put deep thought into his responses. I feel comfortable that I can bring any subject or question to SoSo and get the informative and useful answer I am seeking.
