You will want to continue because it’s fun! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language (especially Kanji! ><) I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫

13年の教師経験があります! The first time I taught Japanese was during my time at university, and I found it to be a truly enjoyable experience. That experience motivated me to pursue teaching as a career. In my teaching, I strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment, and to build strong, respectful relationships with my students—regardless of their proficiency level. Please don’t be afraid of making mistakes; they are an essential and valuable part of the learning journey. 我第一次教授日语是在大学期间,那次经历让我感到非常愉快。也正是因为那次经历,我决定将教学作为自己的职业发展方向。在教学过程中,我始终致力于营造一个支持性强、氛围友好的学习环境,并与学生建立良好且互相尊重的关系,无论他们的语言水平如何。请不要害怕犯错,错误是学习过程中非常重要且宝贵的一部分。

Certified Japanese Language Teacher with over 12 years of experience I have always been interested in teaching and my first part time job after graduating from high school was an English teacher at a cram school. Since then, I fell in love with learning with the students through teaching and cultivating curiosities and experiencing the joy of discovering. I am studying to become a professor/researcher at a university now. So my passion for teaching has always existed and I am pleasantly surprised by students in lessons because I learn a lot from them as much as they (hopefully) learn from me. Perhaps, this YouTube clip I recently made makes it more clear about my cheerful and talkative characters. https://youtu.be/g-saEIGeQzA

Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! Do you freeze when talking to people, even if you're okay with AI? One student told me, "I'm scared to fail with humans." Today, he confidently initiates conversations in Japanese! As a student of Psychology and Education, I focus on how to release tension and let words flow naturally. My priority isn't just fixing grammar; it's creating a "Safe Space" where you can fail without fear. Using insights from educational theory, I provide a relaxing environment that maximizes your learning. I dedicate my full energy to every session. Expect a high-quality experience where you'll discover something new and finish feeling refreshed and lighter. Let’s turn your anxiety into confidence together!

Not accepting new students (60min→55min/45min→40min/30min→25min) As a teacher, I try to ✔︎ be academically well-informed / flexible / patient / honest / friendly ✔︎ have my students talk as much as possible (instead of me talking) ✔︎ use flipped classroom strategies (input at home, output in class) ✔︎ use Japanese as much as possible ✔︎ always review the previous lesson ✔︎ be (very) strict with pronunciation (らりるれろ, devoicing of vowels, mora lengths and pitch-accent) and most importantly: ✔︎ give meaningful feedback ✔︎ translate what the students want to say into easy & simple Japanese sentences - so that they can use it the next time! I also teach English to local students in my hometown in Ibaraki prefecture (an hour away from Tokyo by train).
