楽しく話しながら日本ついて学ぼう!英語OK‼️ 私はオンラインで1年以上、日本語を教えています。現在は約35名の生徒が継続して私のレッスンを受講してくれています。英語で論理的に日本語を説明できることが、私の大きな強みです。文法や表現の細かな違い、言葉のニュアンスなども、できるだけわかりやすく丁寧に説明することを心がけています。 私はもともと、言語や文化、人がどのように考えるかに強い興味があります。そのため、難しい日本語に関する質問や細かい違いについて一緒に考えることがとても好きです。ただ言葉を覚えるだけでなく、その背景にある文化や習慣、考え方も一緒に知ることで、より自然で深い理解につながると考えています。 私は敬語の知識にも自信があります。 以前、公的な場に関わる方々と接する機会のあるNGO団体に所属しており、その中で丁寧で適切な日本語表現を深く学びました。そうした経験を通して、日常会話で使う自然な丁寧語から、ビジネスの場で必要な敬語、さらにより格式の高い表現まで幅広く理解しています。 敬語は難しい分野ですが、場面ごとの違いやニュアンスも含めて、できるだけわかりやすく説明することができます。

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

JLPT N1/N2 Reading Strategy|Structured Exam Preparation My teaching style is analytical, structured, and goal-oriented. Students say I explain grammar clearly, but what makes my lessons different is the strategy training for JLPT reading. We don’t just read. We break down the structure of the text. We learn how exam questions are created. We practice solving efficiently. Advanced Japanese is abstract and layered. I teach you how to navigate that complexity. Mistakes are welcome — they are clues to improve your score.

I am certified to teach Japanese and currently teach at a language school in Taiwan and for private students. I teach general Japanese, business Japanese as well as exam preparation for JLPT, to students from various backgrounds. Some of my students started to learn with me from Hiragana, the most basic letters in this language, and some others are advanced learners who are required to use Japanese for their jobs. I am so happy for what my students and I are doing together to improve their skills, and having good time in each class.
