資格を持った日本語教師 I have worked as a Modern and Classical Japanese teacher for Japanese high school students since 2019. Also, I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and working as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners at a Japanese language school. So, I teach Japanese both for Japanese high school students and foreigners. In other words, I am a Japanese language expert! 大学卒業後から現在に至るまで、日本の高校生に対して5年間、国語の読解と作文の授業を担当していました。 現代文だけでなく、古文の授業も担当していました。 また、2023年に日本語教育能力検定試験に合格したことを機に、日本語学校で日本語教師としても働きはじめました。 2026年現在も日本語教師の仕事を続けており、外国語としての日本語だけでなく、母語としての現代日本語、古典日本語にも精通しています。 In my lessons, we will use Japanese as much as possible, depending on your level, because using Japanese a lot is the way to improve! Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask me in English. 基本的に、授業内ではできるだけ日本語を使います。 わからないことがあったときは、英語での質問も受け付けます。しかし、日本語を話せるようになるために重要なのは、できるだけ日本語を使うことです。そのため、できる限り日本語で質問しようという姿勢を歓迎します。 I enjoy exercising, reading, writing, watching movies and teaching Japanese! Also, I love chatting! Let's talk together! Tell me about you in Japanese! 趣味はスポーツをすることや読書、音楽を聴くこと、旅行、語学学習などです。 日本語でいろいろなお話ができるのを楽しみにしています！

🌸 Japanese accent is a combination of high and low pitches. 日本語のアクセントは、高低の組み合わせです🌸 ⁎ˇ◡ˇ⁎こんにちは☀️ I am so glad your journey brought you here. When I share Japanese, my passion lies in its sound. Did you know it is a rare pitch-accent language with no stress, and every inflection can simplify into just two piano notes—C and E? In our sessions, we ground ourselves in the four basic pitch patterns. I gently weave in nuances learners often ask about, such as vowel devoicing, nasal sounds, and the rhythm of prolonged sounds. Whether practicing conversation or textbooks, these musical elements are naturally integrated. When your accent aligns with these pitches, your Japanese naturally sounds fluid and resonant. When you speak with these natural rhythms, it creates a beautiful harmony; we feel connected through the heart of the language. This builds profound confidence and awakens the pure joy of learning, like a child discovering their mother tongue. My teaching is quietly guided by meditation at a temple in Thailand. Through this stillness, I treasure conveying the spiritual essence and inner heart of Japan. My room is always filled with the laughter of my students. Together, we look beyond grammar to explore daily lives, the seasons, and cultural contexts—embarking on a shared journey. I deeply cherish acoustic vibrations. I spend days recharging in nature, embracing the five elements, to share a calm, grounded presence with you. Let us explore Japanese together, creatively, as if painting art. I look forward to walking this path with you.
