楽しく話しながら日本ついて学ぼう!英語OK‼️ 私はオンラインで1年以上、日本語を教えています。現在は約35名の生徒が継続して私のレッスンを受講してくれています。英語で論理的に日本語を説明できることが、私の大きな強みです。文法や表現の細かな違い、言葉のニュアンスなども、できるだけわかりやすく丁寧に説明することを心がけています。 私はもともと、言語や文化、人がどのように考えるかに強い興味があります。そのため、難しい日本語に関する質問や細かい違いについて一緒に考えることがとても好きです。ただ言葉を覚えるだけでなく、その背景にある文化や習慣、考え方も一緒に知ることで、より自然で深い理解につながると考えています。 私は敬語の知識にも自信があります。 以前、公的な場に関わる方々と接する機会のあるNGO団体に所属しており、その中で丁寧で適切な日本語表現を深く学びました。そうした経験を通して、日常会話で使う自然な丁寧語から、ビジネスの場で必要な敬語、さらにより格式の高い表現まで幅広く理解しています。 敬語は難しい分野ですが、場面ごとの違いやニュアンスも含めて、できるだけわかりやすく説明することができます。

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.

I've been teaching Japanese for 6 years. I've been teaching Japanese for six years. When I was a student, I worked as a tutor and cram school instructor for English and mathematics. I also volunteered for four years reading to students in the morning at an elementary school and worked in after-school childcare. I was a member of a Japanese language club as part of a city volunteer activity. The ages of my students range from 9 to 70 years old. I’m very happy to receive feedback from students who enjoy my lessons. I like to hear about their success in passing JLPT N3, and hear from those who are working hard to aim for N1.

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.
