しぜんな日本語がはなせるようになりたい人!🙌 I have completed the studies for the 420 hour Advanced Skills of Teaching Japanese Language Course. My lesson is NOT typical Japanese lesson that practice Japanese which native Japanese wouldn't say! With or without a textbook, it doesn't matter. Even if we use a text book, I don't follow too much. We can have a conversation whilst practicing "Natural Japanese"! Playing games, describing some situations or such... I'll adapt the lesson to the student! Let me know if you have any request! プロの日本語教師になるための420時間のコースを受けました。日本人がよく使う日本語、”しぜんな日本語”を会話をしながら、練習します。教科書はあっても、なくても、大丈夫です。教科書を使ったとしても、教科書に沿って教えるだけでなく、自然な日本語を練習しながら、会話をします。ゲームをしたり、写真の説明をしたり…生徒さんに合わせたレッスンをします。何か希望があれば、言ってくださいね。

A time to reduce anxiety about speaking Japanese and build confidence. ベトナムの日本語学校とオンラインで日本語を教えたことがあります。 また、私も言語学習のためにオンラインレッスンを利用します。学習した単語を自然に使えなかったり、忘れたりして、レッスンでうまく話せなかった経験が何度もあります。 これらの経験を活かして、日本語を話すことへの不安を感じさせない雰囲気を作り、自信を持って話せるようにサポートします。 *日本語教育能力検定試験合格 I have experience teaching Japanese at a Japanese language school in Vietnam and online. I also take online lessons to learn languages. I have often experienced not being able to speak well in lessons because I couldn’t naturally use the words I had learned or I forgot them. I will make the most of these experiences to create a comfortable environment for speaking Japanese, and support you as much as possible so you can speak confidently without anxiety. *Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency

I’ve taught English at a Japanese cram school for junior and senior high school students for 2 years, and worked in childcare where I encouraged young learners to use English in daily activities. I also volunteered to teach English at a local kindergarten. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in my teaching — skills that are just as important for adult learners as for children. Combined with my nursing background, I’m good at listening carefully and making students feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and learn natural, everyday Japanese without feeling pressured.

Multi lingual Japanese teacher! As a language learner, I know what is more important in learning different languages. For some people memorizing words and phrases will work, for some people just having a real conversation with a native speaker will help. So let's find what works for you and learn together! 日本人の方へ、英語を勉強していらっしゃる方で、英語を勉強したい方は日本語を使って説明ができますので、是非一度レッスンをお試しください。上級の方には英語でのレッスンが効果的だと思いますが、日本語での説明の方がより効果的に内容の把握をすることができると思います。
