Japanese language and culture in a casual way ✌ Up until now, I have been teaching for more than two years now and I really enjoy it. I have premade lessons that I use for teaching, but of course, I can organize lessons to one's wishes. In my lessons, I try to use as many as possible different resources for learning and I can promise you that a class with me won't be boring. I'm trying to be professional as much as possible, but I would like to create a relaxed atmosphere so that we can learn with a smile on our faces.

Nos vemos en italki Classroom o Teams o GoogleMeet..... I completed a 420-hour Japanese teacher training program in 2014, and since then I have taught at language schools in Mexico and Japan, as well as online. As someone who used to be a “Spanish-language nerd,” I understand the joy of learning a language for fun. Studying English grammar has also helped me understand the challenges of Japanese more deeply, and this experience shapes the way I support my students. I offer four structured courses based on your grammar level: Zero Beginner, Beginner, Pre Intermediate, and Intermediate. In each course, you can learn grammar systematically while having conversations with me in Japanese. I also offer conversation practice lessons for learners of any level. ■Please click each course name for details and textbook information. My lessons are mainly conducted using the direct method (Japanese only), but for beginner levels I also use original materials with illustrations to support understanding. For Spanish-speaking beginners, I can provide support in Spanish as well. I love sharing my passion for language learning and supporting my students’ progress. I’ve met many wonderful learners on italki, and those experiences make me believe we can create lessons truly suited to your needs as we get to know each other over time.
