Relaxed, soft-spoken, detailed. 平易近人,轻松,详细 As a community teacher, I think I’m best suited for your native Japanese conversation practice partner. With this said, I’m now learning the type of Japanese grammar useful for foreign students so that I can answer your basic grammar questions. I believe in the importance of output and repeated practice. So, in my class, I encourage you to relax and speak much, while to master the stuff you’ve learned by repetition and frequent review. 刚开始当老师,我应该适合当你的日语会话练习伙伴。对于日语语法针对外国学习者的,我在天天学习。已经学过的,我会随机分享给你的 我相信练习和复习很重要。所以在我的课程中,我会一边鼓励你轻松随便多多讲,同时也会鼓励你重复练习,又复习学过的。这样知识会根深蒂固吧 あたらしいせんせいのわたしは、かいわのれんしゅうの あいてに よいとおもいます。がいこくじんむけの ぶんぽうも まいにち べんきょうしています たくさん はなすことが たいせつです。リラックスし わたしとたのしく たくさん はなしましょう。

🌸 For students who want to learn to speak naturally🌸 Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I taught many students at junior high schools, high schools, and private tutoring schools, so I have extensive teaching experience. Many of my students have continued taking my lessons for years and have achieved advanced-level conversational skills. I focus on helping students express what they truly want to say as much as possible. My lessons are also recommended for those who want to learn natural and correct Japanese. 日本語教師になる前は、中学校や高校、そして塾などで多くの生徒さん達に教えていましたので、経験が豊富(ほうふ)です。 私のレッスンを長年受け続けて上級レベルの会話ができるようになった生徒さんも多いです。私は、生徒さんが出来る限り自分の伝えたいことを伝えられるように、手助けします。 自然で正しい日本語を学びたい方にもおすすめです。

Trained&qualified from a uni in🇦🇺 Not only know🇬🇧 but also know how to teach🇯🇵 to 🇬🇧speakers I am a professional Japanese teacher and have been teaching with italki since 2013. I can assist absolute beginner to highly advanced level students (including N5-N1 preparation), who are willing to manage aspects of their own learning. Thanks to many of my students, I have been become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers at italki. I use PPT and Word documents to explain grammar points, etc. in English. My native tongue is Japanese, but I am trained and qualified to teach in Australia and I am more comfortable to explain Japanese in English. This may be more advantageous for English speakers. I may use less to no English for advanced students.

日本の修士課程の学生だったころ、大学生の作文を添削していたこともあります。なので、文章を添削することもできます。 日本語や日本の文化について説明したりディスカッションすることが好きです。 Ich habe bis jetzt mehrere Tandempartner/innen gehabt und habe immer Spaß, über meine Muttersprache und Kultur zu erzählen. Außerdem habe ich schon mal als Tutorin an einer Uni in Japan gearbeitet und Hausarbeiten von Bachelorstudierenden korrigiert.
