Osaka-BOY, travel-loving tutor|Learn natural Japanese through relaxed conversation I’m still new as a teacher, but I always analyze each student in real time and adjust the lesson to their level and needs. Many students have told me, “That was fun!”—and that makes me really happy. I often use English and a whiteboard to help with understanding. We’ll focus step by step, setting clear goals and celebrating each small success. Failure? I don’t believe in that. It’s just a checkpoint on your journey! 講師としてはまだ始めたばかりですが、目の前の生徒さんをリアルタイムで分析し、レベルに合わせて進めています。 実際に受けてくださった方から「楽しかった!」という声もいただいており、とても嬉しく思っています。 英語やホワイトボードを使ってログを取ったり、意思疎通しながら、わかりやすいレッスンを心がけています。 目標や通過点を大切にしながら、段階的にフォーカスして進めていきましょう。 「失敗」なんて言葉は、僕の中にはありません。それはただの通過点です!
