Feel nervous to take a lesson? Don't worry, I guarantee you have an enjoyable lesson :) I studied English in London so if you need additional support in English during my classes, please let me know. I will speak slowly as much as I can so please be relaxed during my lesson.

私のレッスンでは言葉だけでなく、日本人とコミュニケーションをとるための方法を教えます。あなたが日本人の友達をつくったり、日本の文化に馴染めるよう、アドバイスしたり背中を押します。 私は大阪出身なので、大阪弁や大阪の人とのコミュニケーションの仕方についても教えることができます。 今、大阪で開催中の「大阪・関西万博2025」の情報など 関西地区へ旅行に来る場合、おススメの場所なども提供できます。 ガイドブックに載っている人気スポット以外に昔ながらの日本の街並みはあちこちにあります。 人混みを避けてのんびり歩ける場所を知りたくないですか? あなたはどんな事に興味がありますか? 私は釣りと海外旅行が好きです。 釣りはルアーフィッシングがメインです。 夏はマグロを狙って海に出ます。 また海外へ旅行に行くのも飛行機に乗るのも好きです。 色んな話をしましょう。

日本語、楽しんで身につけよう! Let's learn Japanese in a fun and effective way! 日本語を教えながら、日々、その面白さを実感しています。 日本は伝統的なものと現代的なものが共存するおもしろい国です。 日本語も独特なおもしろい言葉です。3つの文字が1つの文に共存して、そのおかげでその文がわかりやすくなるのです! あなたと一緒に日本語を学びながら、そのおもしろさを伝えていけたら、そして言語だけでなく、日本の文化や今のことなどを話せたらいいな、と思います。 あなたの文化や食べ物についても教えてもらえたら嬉しい! レッスンでお待ちしています! Japanese language is uniquely interesting. In a single sentence, you’ll often find three different writing systems working together to make the meaning clearer! I hope that as we learn Japanese together, I can share this charm with you. It would be wonderful not ony to explore the language but also to talk about Japanese culture and current topics. And of course, I’d be thrilled if you could share your culture and favorite foods with me too! See you in my class!

Can you repeat that, please? 💦 — That’s music to my ears! 😍🎶 Feel free to ask again and again! わたしは、だいがくいんで、かがくのけんきゅうをしていました。 そのとき、がくじゅつのろんぶんをかきました。 また、がっかいでは、たくさんのはっぴょうをしました。 わたしは、PPT(パワーポイント)、レポート、りれきしょ、エントリーシート、さくぶん、にっきのてんさくができます。 (ぶんしょうのないようではなく、にほんごのあらいかたをおしえることができます) りゅうがくせいのTeaching Assistantを、2ねんかんしました。 また、いままでに、にほんごをおしえるボランティアを、3ねんかんしていました。 I can help with proofreading PowerPoint presentations, reports, resumes, entry sheets, essays, and diaries, focusing on Japanese expression (not the content itself). Since I write pure literature novels in Japanese, I can guide literary Japanese expressions. I attended a writer's training school for four years, and my work has been published in doujinshi. I have served as a Teaching Assistant for international students for two years.

I am a very friendly and patient teacher. I’ve been a language teacher for more than 20 years and I love it! I taught students from one-year-old kids to adults in person. For online lessons, I usually teach students from eight-year-old to adults. There's nothing like seeing my students getting excited about learning Japanese in my class. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment. My motto for learning Japanese is to make mistakes without worrying too much and to speak a lot in Japanese. Have fun with it :)

あなたのスタイルに柔軟に対応するのが私のレッスンスタイル If you are new to Japan, are you full of anxiety and looking for more than understanding yourself? And do you want to master Japanese and use it for your life and work? Also, if you want to work in Japan in the future, or if you want to return to Japan and get a job at a Japanese company, do you want to learn Japanese grammar and Chinese characters and get good points on the test? .. Thus, different learners have different purposes. I would like to work on the lesson with a thorough understanding. And work while having fun.
