I am very happy to be able to teach Japanese with you. I was a kindergarten teacher for 17 years. After that, I got my Japanese teacher qualification and taught face-to-face classes at a Japanese language school for about three years. Now I teach Japanese to children at an international school, and also teach at a Japanese language school while giving online private lessons. I don't want it to feel like I'm just studying, so I make sure to chat while I'm learning natural Japanese.

I can understand well what you students can't understand as I've studied many languages. My hobbies and interests. Aerobatics, playing the guitar (flamenco, bossa nova, classical, singing while playing), off-road biking, horseback riding. I love aerobatics, so I went to the US to train as a pilot and got my license. I've traveled to the US several times specifically for aerobatics. I have also competed in an aerobatics competition held in Arizona. I enjoy horseback riding and have been to Mongolia. I studied Mongolian hoping to communicate with the nomadic people. My Japanese language skills. Teaching experience, etc. I attended a Japanese language teaching school to study teaching methods and conducted trial lessons. In 2019, I also passed the "Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test". I'm a "Language Geek" and have studied Spanish, Mongolian, German, and more besides English. From my experience studying these foreign languages, I know the tricks of the trade: what's needed to learn a foreign language, what causes confusion, and how to achieve understanding. I also understand the differences in thinking patterns between languages. This knowledge will surely be useful to you when learning Japanese. Generally, I conduct lessons in Japanese. I don't use textbooks. Since you can understand textbooks by reading them yourself, spending time aimlessly reading textbooks with a teacher during an online lesson is a waste of time. Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand while reading a textbook, feel free to ask questions anytime.

I specialize in conversation practice! I also provide Youtube videos of Japanese conversation. Outside of lesson time, I'll introduce you to videos and materials for self-study. A lot of self-study is necessary for beginners who have just started to be able to speak quickly. I'll encourage you and help you while you study on your own! Let's make the lesson time a time to use what you've memorized! If there's something you don't understand, I'll explain it to you. Above all, what I value most in lessons is enjoying conversation. When you speak in your native language, do you make more jokes? Even though it's a lesson, let's talk casually in Japanese just like when you speak in your native language. Casual conversation is also welcome, not just the polite "desu, masu" style!

GENKI/Travel Japanese/Japanese Study Coaching (Build a Daily Study Habit)✏️ Hi, I'm Kanako! I'm a professional Japanese teacher based in Tokyo, and I've been teaching Japanese since 2020. Before becoming a teacher, I lived in Canada for three years for study and work. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling around Japan, discovering local food, trying new recipes, and baking. If you love Japan, Japanese food, or travel, I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about! In my lessons, I create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. I don't rush my students, and I enjoy getting to know them personally. My lessons usually start with free conversation and a quick review of homework or a quiz. Then, we'll learn new grammar and practice using it in conversation. I encourage you to think for yourself and give hints when needed, while providing lesson notes and support along the way. Many of my students have continued studying with me for years. They often describe me as patient, friendly, and easy to talk to. You may notice that some of my reviews are older. I took some time away from italki during maternity leave and focused on teaching outside the platform. I'm now gradually reopening my schedule and accepting a limited number of students again. If you're looking for a patient and supportive teacher who will respect your pace while gently guiding you toward your goals, I'd love to meet you! I look forward to seeing you in class!
