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,

Me as a Teacher
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。

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.

Soso-San is patient and friendly. He also provides a calm and open environment for me to practice Japanese. We also have a good balance in terms of following the Irodori book and casual conversation.
