今年2025年の漢字は"熊(くま)"でした!みなさんの今年の漢字は何ですか? I’m a certified Japanese teacher with 420 hours of training. In my lessons, I focus on conversation and getting to know you. I love learning about people, so I’ll ask many questions—please tell me your answers in Japanese! Don’t worry, I’ll help you every step of the way. I’m always patient and encouraging. I’m also learning English on italki, so I understand the feelings of language learners—both the frustration and the excitement. I believe language is a bridge to connect people. My goal is to make friends all over the world through Japanese! If you feel we’d be a good match, let’s talk in a lesson. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

I have had the opportunity to talk with people from many different countries, and each time I have taught them a little about Japanese culture and the language, I have a desire to explain my country to people from more countries. The most important thing when I learned a foreign language was to increase the opportunities to use that language. No matter how much you study, if you don't use it often, you'll spend a lot of time learning it. For the above reasons, I decided that it is important to focus on conversation-centered free-talk in my lessons, first of all, to create many opportunities for you to talk about topics you like, so that you can get used to speaking.

✅ Certified Polyglot Tutor ✅ Writer & Global Traveler ✅ Humoruos and patient ✅ MA in Sociology I have been teaching Chinese for 13 years, serving as a language guide and tutor rather than a traditional school teacher. My approach encourages you to engage in speaking and organizing language independently and actively. 🏆 With diverse work experience in finance, education, journalism, and tourism—and a decade of collaboration with a Nobel Laureate —I bring more than just language instruction to my classes.

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

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.
