たくさんの日本語に触れてほしいので、基本的には日本語でしか話しません。 日常会話から職場で使う敬語表現まで、あなたが勉強したい内容に合わせて、教えます。 それぞれのペースに合わせて、目標を達成するためのお手伝いをしたいと思います。 レッスンの中でわからないところ、知らない言葉があったときには、なんでも聞いてください。 より簡単な、わかりやすい言葉で、理解できるまで丁寧に教えます。 I want you to listen to a lot of Japanese, so basically I speak only Japanese. From everyday conversation to honorifics used at work, I will teach you what you want to study. I would like to help you achieve your goals at your own pace. In the lesson, when you don't understand, or when you have a word you don't know, ask me anything. I will teach you politely in simpler and easier-to-understand words until you understand.

Learn real Japanese while having fun with me ! I would be your favorite Sensei and friend :D My classes are flexible, can be adapted for your academic, work or business needs.▶︎focus on ① Teaching real, conversational Japanese so you can speak naturally, not just from textbooks. I don’t focus on textbooks for speaking practice (though they are used for grammar, JLPT. preparation, and beginners). There’s also a lot of informal Japanese that native speakers use daily, plus "unusual" Japanese found in Yakuza movies, manga, and anime. Learning this helps you live, travel, and make friends in Japan, and it’s great for watching Japanese movies, shows, or reading manga. ②Conversation practice on various topics, learning new vocabulary, expressions, and grammar. ③Preparing for the JLPT

Friendly Japanese teacher working at a public junior high school🧚🏻‍♀️🌈 After graduating from university, I worked for a Japanese company and graduated from a professional course as a Japanese language teacher, and then obtained a national qualification as a Japanese language teacher. In addition to lessons using textbooks and daily conversation, we can also teach Japanese that is used at Japanese universities and companies. I value being a teacher like a Japanese friend, so please feel free to talk to me about your worries and goals. 저는 대학을 졸업 후 일본 회사에서 일하며 일본어 교사의 전문 과정을 졸업하고 일본어 교사 국가 자격증을 취득했습니다. 교과서를 사용한 레슨이나 일상 회화뿐만 아니라 일본의 대학이나 회사에서 사용하는 일본어를 가르칠 수도 있습니다. 일본의 친구 같은 선생님인 것을 중요하게 생각하고 있기 때문에 고민이나 목표를 편하게 이야기해 주시면 좋겠습니다.
