I think studying Japanese in Japanese is a bit too hard sometimes (especially for beginners), so I would love to help students by using English if needed.

In 2017, I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and became Japanese teacher. My first job is teaching Japanese for the beginner’s course in Tokyo, and then in Vietnam for 2 and a half years. Contents are business Japanese, how to pass the JLPT, pronunciation, and so on. The class of pronunciation was well-received for staff who work at Japanese hotels in Vietnam. I would like to be a teacher who continues to grow together with everyone, without being what I am doing now. 2017年、日本語教育能力検定試験に合格して日本語教師になりました。はじめは東京の日本語学校で初級のクラスを教えました。 その後、ベトナムで2年半、いろいろな人にいろいろな日本語を教えました。へビジネス日本語、JLPTの試験対策、発音・・。特に発音のレッスンは、日系のホテルで働く人たちから高い評価をいただきました。 今の自分に満足せずに、成長し続ける教師でありたいと思っています。

An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.

Friendly &Flexible. にほんごをまなぼう、にほんごでまなぼう。 During my time in America, as a Teaching Assistant, I was teaching ‘history of cinema’ and practical ‘basic filmmaking ‘ to American college students. Also, I joined activities to teach Japanese culture and language to people. Since my returning to Japan, I have had many opportunities to interact with many local people from all over the world when I visit abroad for my job of movie making. Throughout these experiences, I have been feeling keenly about “the joy and difficulty of verbal communication. With this kind of experience, I can support and lead each student to learn Japanese language.

certified japanese teacher ★Beginners Friendly ★The lesson content has been redesigned. It is natural to not know where to start or how to learn any language at first! I have taught many beginner classes and I always tell my students that Japanese is not difficult. I also try to create an atmosphere where it is easy for students to say they don't understand what they don't understand.
