Friendly Japanese Lessons|English Support|5 Years Experience 👨‍🏫🇯🇵🇨🇦🌐 わたしは、友達だけでなく、 もっと多くの人に日本語を教えたいと思い、italkiを始めました。 言語を学ぶことは、 文字や言葉を覚えるだけではありません。 言語は文化を見るための窓だと、わたしは考えています。 これまで、カナダの語学学校で3年間、 さまざまな国の学習者に日本語を教えてきました。 あなたのペースで、 日本語と日本文化を一緒に楽しみましょう。 I started teaching on italki because I wanted to teach Japanese not only to friends, but to many more people around the world. Learning a language is not just about memorizing words or characters. I believe that language is like a window— through it, we can see culture, values, and ways of thinking. I previously worked at a language school in Canada for 3 years, teaching learners from many different countries. At your own pace, let’s enjoy learning Japanese and Japanese culture together.

日本語教師養成講座を修了、オンライン・オフライン含めて8年以上の教師経験があります。 I believe that everyone has their own reason for wanting to learn Japanese—whether it’s to learn about the culture, use it for work, or study abroad. Drawing on the language and communication skills I developed as an international flight attendant, I strive to quickly understand each student’s needs and offer lesson plans that match their level and goals. However, in any class, I place the most importance on giving students time to actively participate and express themselves. I want to help as many people as possible experience the joy of communicating their thoughts in a foreign language and the satisfaction of being understood.
