Do Japanese words disappear from your mind the moment you hear them? Train your working memory. I'm YUN. I believe making mistakes is one of the most important parts of learning Japanese. Students who are willing to make mistakes and keep trying usually improve faster. I also believe that every learner faces different challenges. ・Know grammar and vocabulary, but sound unnatural ・Can speak Japanese, but struggle to understand spoken Japanese ・Can't keep up with casual conversations ・Lack confidence when speaking For this reason, I learn about each student's goals, strengths, weaknesses, and learning history, and I keep records to track progress and identify areas for improvement. I also use different materials and activities depending on the student. Rather than following the same method for everyone, I focus on the skills each learner needs most. My lessons may challenge you a little, but that challenge is often a sign of growth. I enjoy language, writing, and Japanese expression, and I encourage students to think, try, and learn through mistakes. *My lessons are aimed at those who can introduce themselves and engage in simple conversation (N4 advanced level or above).* Background & Experience • Graduate-level research on Japanese macaques • Academic papers and conference presentations • Teaching Assistant for international students (2 years) • Japanese language volunteer work (3 years) • Experience proofreading reports, essays, resumes, and presentations I also write literary fiction in Japanese and can advise on natural and sophisticated written expression.

At the same time, I believe learning a language is a wonderful way to connect with people and discover new cultures.
