I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese. I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages. As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁). I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese. So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

I provide easy/simple words and tasks to get you to enjoy participating in the class and created a comfortable atmosphere to encourage discussion. So please don’t hesitate to give my lesson a try so we can enjoy some good Japanese conversation!

I can understand well what you students can't understand as I've studied many languages. My Japanese language skills. Teaching experience, etc. I attended a Japanese language teaching school to study teaching methods and conducted trial lessons. In 2019, I also passed the "Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test". I'm a "Language Geek" and have studied Spanish, Mongolian, German, and more besides English. From my experience studying these foreign languages, I know the tricks of the trade: what's needed to learn a foreign language, what causes confusion, and how to achieve understanding. I also understand the differences in thinking patterns between languages. This knowledge will surely be useful to you when learning Japanese.

I will try to create warm and relaxed atmosphere in class so that you can be relaxed and talk spontaneously. #Please ask me questions literally ANYTIME! I’m always looking to grow as a teacher.
