【私と日本語をいっしょにべんきょうしましょう(^^)/ I did more than 1500 Japanese lessons !】 【English is below】 italkiではもう700回近くレッスンをしています。 プライベートレッスンを含めると1500回以上のレッスンを行いました。 自分の生徒さんが、レッスンをするごとに日本語が上手になっていくことが私もとてもうれしく、 日本語講師を続けるモチベーションとなっています。 生徒さんとはレッスンでたくさん会話をします。 私のレッスンを通して、自身をもって日本語が話せるようになってほしいです。 When I was 19, I lived in England for 8 months studying English and Music. The first 2 month was very difficult for me as I could not speak any English at all. Before I went to England, I only studied English words and grammar but this really didn't help me much at all. I quickly realised how important it is to do a lot of conversation practice when learning a new language.

How about talking to a teacher who reads manga almost every day? I have limited experience as a Japanese instructor, but I can offer a variety of topics. I have given over 10 lectures as a guest speaker to students ranging from elementary to high school, sharing my volunteer experiences in Botswana. 講師としては経験が少ないですが、様々な話題を提供できます。講師としては、ボツワナでのボランティア経験を小学生から高校生までの子供たちに、10回以上1時間の講義を行ったことがあります。

🌸 For students who want to learn to speak naturally🌸 Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I taught many students at junior high schools, high schools, and private tutoring schools, so I have extensive teaching experience. Many of my students have continued taking my lessons for years and have achieved advanced-level conversational skills. I focus on helping students express what they truly want to say as much as possible. My lessons are also recommended for those who want to learn natural and correct Japanese. 日本語教師になる前は、中学校や高校、そして塾などで多くの生徒さん達に教えていましたので、経験が豊富(ほうふ)です。 私のレッスンを長年受け続けて上級レベルの会話ができるようになった生徒さんも多いです。私は、生徒さんが出来る限り自分の伝えたいことを伝えられるように、手助けします。 自然で正しい日本語を学びたい方にもおすすめです。

日本語ゼロでも大丈夫! 一緒に勉強しましょう。Don' t worry even if you are a beginner. I taught some elementary school students who came to Japan and didn't know Japanese at all. I taught them from Hiragana,greetings and also told them about life style in Japan. I was by their side and also supported school lessons. And I taught some International students how to prepare for JLPT. They enjoyed studying with quizzes I made. Now I teach some American students who have returned to America. 私は日本語ゼロで日本に住むことになった小学生に日本語を教えました。ひらがなや挨拶から始まり、日本での生活についても話しました。彼らのそばについて学校の授業のサポートもしました。 また、大学の留学生にJLPT対策のクイズを作り、楽しくクイズをしながらJLPTの勉強を教えました。 今、アメリカに戻ったアメリカの学生に日本語を教えています。

I got my Japanese teaching license in June 2021. Because I have already finished the 420 hours Advanced Skills of Teaching Japanese Language Course. Additionally, I have already kept teaching Japanese online since a couple of years ago. I also have taught students who learn social welfare services as I am a social worker for 15 years. Our lesson will require us to speak in Japanese as much as possible. If you need to ask any questions in English, it's ok. But you should try it in our lesson! I really would like to help you improve your Japanese skills. Always welcome your request about our lesson!
