日本時間PM7:00~9:00 限定のフリートーク 10USD/45min★ 間違ってもいいから自由に話しましょう! I became a certified Japanese teacher in 2014. Since then, I have gained a lot of experience teaching including at a language school in Mexico, and more recently online (italki). Now I work at a language school in my hometown, in addition to italki. I love sharing my passion for learning languages and helping my students improve. I have met several excellent students on italki, and I think that by getting to know each other over time, we can personalize your classes. 私は2014年に日本語教師の資格をとりました。それからメキシコの語学学校をはじめ、オンラインで教えるなど多くの経験を積んできました。 今は italki のほか、札幌の語学学校でも日本語を教えています。 私は言語学習に対する情熱を共有し、生徒たちの上達を手助けすることが大好きです。italki でも素晴らしい生徒たちと出会いましたが、時間をかけてお互いを知ることで、レッスンをカスタマイズしていけると思います。

Ippei (いっぺい、一平)
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.

Do you speak "Natural Japanese"? I recommend my lessons to people who ・want to practice grammar in conversation ・aren't sure if you can speak naturally even having grammar knowledge ・want to learn how to speak casual Japanese ・want to learn natural Japanese even from the basic level Points of lessons ・Students mainly speak so that they can be confident ・Students are encouraged to make a lot of mistakes ・Teacher tells students what they can do by learning expressions and grammar

Kana
One of the most experienced teachers on italki. 15 years of teaching experience. Available everyday. We can make our lessons in both English and Japanese, depending on your level. I use Genki 1 for Beginners course, Genki 2 for Intermediate 1 course, An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese and Tobira for Intermediate 2 course. For advanced students, the lesson material can be arranged as you please, such as news articles and books. For Beginners to Intermediate 2 course, we will mainly use textbook as well as worksheets and PowerPoint Presentation during the class. At the end of each lesson, I give some homework mainly from the workbook. I sometimes send a worksheet for homework, too. You can complete your homework in your own time and we will check answers in the following lesson.

Certified Japanese Teacher / Profesora Licenciada I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since 2020. Since I loved this job, I quit my corporate job and completed a 420-hour teaching certification course. As I believe learning should be enjoyable and relaxed, I try to create a fun learning environment. Since I've learned Spanish, I know how hard it is to learn other languages. Let's make your Japanese learning journey enjoyable together!

It continues because it's fun to learn! 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 👫

Thanks for reading my profile. Here are the lessons what I teach mainly. -Japanese conversation (beginner/advanced) -Learn Japanese step by step (Japanese letters and grammars based by Minnano Nihongo) -Business Japanese (beginner/advanced) -Intensive lesson for JLPT (N5-N1) But if you have any questions for Japanese or requests, I can give you the lesson too. (Leaning Japanese song, reading Japanese novels, understanding Japanese comedy etc...) My youngest students were 6 years old. I like teaching to kids too. To study and speak a foreign language opens your world and mind on a level which can’t be measured. Let’s study Japanese together and open the world around you!

I have been teaching Chinese and Japanese for almost five years. I will do my best to help you with your Chinese or Japanese. If you are interested in Chinese or Japanese culture, then we can talk more about that in our lessons, If you want to practice speaking then I will make some good dialogues for you that fit your levels and needs. To learn a new language you need to be patient with yourself and take time to learn step by step. A good language teacher could help you keep learning and I hope I could be that one.
