私(わたし)は、日本人(にほんじん)で母国語(ぼこくご)も日本語(にほんご)です。 英語(えいご)が好(す)きで、勉強(べんきょう)しているので、少(すこ)し話(はな)すことができます。 手帳(てちょう)を書(か)いたり、マスキングテープを集(あつ)めたり、絵(え)を描(か)いたり、映画(えいが)を観(み)ることが好(す)きです。Youtubeでゲーム配信の動画を見るのにハマっています。 海外旅行(かいがいりょこう)は、イギリスに行(い)ったことがあります。 個別指導塾(こべつしどうじゅく)で日本(にほん)の子(こ)どもたちに英語(えいご)を教(おし)える仕事(しごと)をしていました。中学校(ちゅうがっこう)で教師(きょうし)をしたこともあります。2021年、日本語教育能力検定試験に合格(ごうかく)し、資格(しかく)を持っています。 I was born and raised in Japan. I'm learning English now, so I can speak English a little. My hobbies are writing diaries, collecting washi tapes, drawing pictures and watching movies(Studio Ghibli, Disney, Harry Potter). Recently I'm really into watching YouTube game streaming. I've been to England once. When I visited there, some people spoke Japanese for me and I was so glad that. And then, I'd like to help people learn Japanese. I've experienced various kinds of jobs. I taught English grammar to junior high school students at a cram school for 7 years, and also at junior high school for 3 months. I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2021. My main lessons are Free Talk. We enjoy talking about the cultures, learning language, hobbies or anything else you like. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. (in English, OK) I think enjoying and making mistakes are really important in learning new languages. You may be nervous at first, but please don't worry about making mistakes and always challenge with me!

Thanks for the great lesson! I appreciate that Michiko-san types out the words I don't know as we're talking, so I can reference them later :) 今日はワンちゃん、ヒルマ・アフ・クリント、ゴールデンウィークなど、さまざまなトピックについて話しました。Michikoさんは優しくてありがたいです!私の知らない言葉をチャットで書いてくれることも助かります。ありがとうございました!

It's always fun to chat with Michiko-san! I never know where the conversation will go each week and we end up discussing a wide variety of topics.

I always love my lessons with みちこ先生!She is so incredibly friendly and engaging, and really encourages me to take the lead on topics I care about. She asks questions, can always keep the conversation going, and is so easy to talk to. She patiently helps with me vocab I struggle with, and introduces new concepts in a very organic way that flow with our conversation. Our lessons are both so fun and rewarding at the same time, and I appreciate her and her supportive teaching style so much! 今日もありがとうございます🥰 次のレッスン、楽しみにしています!

Michiko-san was very welcoming, friendly and patient! Even though I am still a beginner, she tried to understand and helped me express some things that I had trouble with.
