音楽のように日本語のリズムを教えることができるプロ講師 オンライン授業は1対1ですからなるべくその人に合わせた楽しい授業になるように、そして学習者が少しでも多く楽しく、自分の話ができるように心がけます。今は日本語学校で2つのクラスを担当しています。どのようにすればより楽しく、より理解しやすいかを考えながら教材を準備しています。講師と生徒ですが、友達のように、信頼感のある関係が作れたらいいと考えます。私は子供の頃からピアノを習っていたので音感があります。楽譜が読める人には日本語特有のリズムやイントネーションを、音楽のように伝えることができます。楽譜が読めなくても、私の真似をすれば大丈夫です。間違えることは覚える第一歩ですから、恥ずかしがらずにチャレンジしてほしいと思います。

Real Japanese Conversation with a Certified Teacher I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and am a certified professional teacher. I studied English in Canada for a year, so I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. In my lessons, mistakes are welcome. That’s how we improve. I also completed a professional coaching program and can offer coaching-style sessions in Japanese. 私は、日本語教育能力検定試験に合格し、プロの日本語教師として活動しています。 私自身もカナダで1年間英語を学び、言語学習の難しさを実感しました。 レッスンでは間違いを恐れず、安心して話せる環境を大切にしています。 また、コーチングスクール修了者として、日本語でのコーチング形式のレッスンも可能です。

Not accepting new students on Italki (60min→55min/45min→40min/30min→25min) As a teacher, I try to ✔︎ be academically well-informed / flexible / patient / honest / friendly ✔︎ have my students talk as much as possible (instead of me talking) ✔︎ use flipped classroom strategies (input at home, output in class) ✔︎ use Japanese as much as possible ✔︎ always review the previous lesson ✔︎ be (very) strict with pronunciation (らりるれろ, devoicing of vowels, mora lengths and pitch-accent) and most importantly: ✔︎ give meaningful feedback ✔︎ translate what the students want to say into easy & simple Japanese sentences - so that they can use it the next time! I also teach English to local students in my hometown in Ibaraki prefecture (an hour away from Tokyo by train).
