About Me
italki teacher since Jun 22, 2021

Hello, I'm Nat (Natsu). I'm 35 years old and a native Japanese speaker from Kanagawa. I love traveling and have visited many countries. I also like movies, painting and crafting. I've been learning English and Spanish for many years, so I truly understand the feeling of learning a foreign language! I'm a friendly and easy-going teacher, so you can relax and learn at your own pace with me :)
こんにちは!私は日本人で、35歳です。旅行が大好きで、たくさんの国を旅行しました。映画を観たり、絵を描くのも好きです。私は英語とスペイン語を勉強しているので、外国語を学ぶ生徒の気持ちがとてもわかります。フレンドリーで楽しい授業をするので、リラックスして いっしょに勉強しましょう!
Hola! Me llamo Nat. Soy una hablante nativa de japones. Hablo un poco de español así que puedo ayudarte en español cuando no entiendes japones, no te preocupes!
Me as a Teacher
I started teaching Japanese as a community tutor on italki in 2021, and passed the JLTCT in 2022 and got qualified.
For me, the most important thing in communication is "empathy".
I am a teacher but also a language learner, so I understand how hard to study foreign language. I also take lessons on italki as a student and that experience helps me improve my teaching skills.
I would like to provide the lessons that make students to feel positive and comfortable!
2021年からitalkiで日本語を教えています。2022年に日本語教育の試験に合格しました。
私にとって、コミュニケーションでいちばん大切なことは、"共感"です。
私は先生ですが、生徒としても英語やスペイン語を勉強しているので、外国語を勉強する気持ちが よくわかります。私もよく 生徒としてitalkiで授業を受けていて、その経験は 日本語を教えるスキルにも 役立っています。
生徒が前向きな気持ちで学べるように、心地のよい授業を心がけます!
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is casual, interactive and balanced.
There are two things I would like my students to experience through my lessons:
(1) Get used to communicating in Japanese and gain your confidence instead of worrying about mistakes
(2) Discover and experience things that you can not learn from textbooks or self-study
I ask students about their needs, interests and goals at first. Then I plan and customize the lessons for each student. I'll also help students stay confident and motivated!
カジュアルで、バランスのとれた授業をします。
私の授業を通して、生徒に体験してほしいことが 2つあります。
(1) 失敗を気にするより、日本語での会話に慣れて 自信をもつこと
(2) 日本の文化や、教科書や独学だけでは学べない 発見や経験をすること
はじめに 生徒の目標や 興味などを聞いて、それぞれの生徒に合わせた授業を計画します。生徒が楽しく勉強できるように手伝います!

Nat is the best teacher I have had. She sets goals for the lesson and explains things so well. We have our class in Japanese but if I don’t know a word in Japanese she is always able to help me with English. Always learning so much ☺️

I have been studying with Nat for months, and can‘t recommend her enough. She is very patient and gives creative, easy to understand explanations for words or expressions I dont understand yet. She makes it easy to carry a conversation and is always pleasant and kind. I also like that she has been slowly increasing the difficulty of the material we use according to my level - that has been immensly useful for the development of my japanese skills. I hop to continue studying with her for a long time!

She is so kind and very patient. I have difficulties remembering all the vocabulary, but she encourages me! I can really recommend her if you study with the Genki book!
