6年間の講師経験をもつフランス在住講師 I focus on speaking practice, not grammar teaching. My lessons are for students who want to use Japanese in a natural way. I change the speed and words depending on your level and goals. I am learning French, so I know the feeling of “I want to say something, but I don’t have the words”. In my lessons, you can speak without fear of mistakes. 私は文法を一から教えるのではなく、会話を中心に日本語を使う練習をしています。生徒さんのレベルや目的に合わせて、話すスピードや語彙を変えます。 アートや文化をきっかけに会話を広げることが多いです。私自身もフランス語を学んでいて、「言いたいのに言えない」という気持ちを知っています。だから、安心して間違えられる環境を大切にしています。

【Specialist in Building Confidence with Grammar Through Conversation】 For Complete Beginners and Learners Already Studying Japanese⇒I help learners build confidence in using grammar through conversation. Rather than simply memorizing rules, I guide them to notice how grammar works as they speak. I also encourage them to think for themselves and express their own ideas in Japanese, because I believe this helps learners improve their Japanese more effectively.

🇯🇵🏃‍♀️I'm a cheerleader of your goal🏃🇯🇵 I obtained my Japanese teaching qualification in April 2022. Since then, I've been working as an online Japanese teacher, offering lessons not only on italki but also classes for technical intern trainees and Kanji preparation for JLPT. As an English learner myself, I deeply understand the challenges of learning languages. I always try to tailor my lessons to suit each student's goals, whether they are beginners, planning to visit Japan as a tourist, or simply looking to have conversations like friends. 2022年4月に日本語教師の資格を取得しました。 それからはオンライン日本語教師として、italkiの他に技能実習生への授業やJLPTの漢字対策の授業もしています。 私も英語学習者なので、言語学習の難しさを痛感しています。 初めて日本語を勉強する人や日本に観光に来る予定のある人、また友達のように会話をしたい人など、それぞれの目的に合わせてレッスンをするようにしています。

Before working as a teacher, I had taught Japanese to foreigners as a volunteer. I have studied abroad in Canada, therefore I understand how difficult it is to learn a foreign language.

I have a certificate as a Japanese teacher. My lessons are good for beginners. I’m also studying English, so I understand how difficult learning a new language can be. I believe that conversation is the most important part of learning a language. The goal is not to speak perfect Japanese. Language is for communication. In my lessons, you will have many chances to speak. It’s okay to make mistakes — let’s speak a lot and enjoy learning together!
