Jack Takahashi Mao
U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

🌟 44% Off – Only in June!🌟 With Over 1500 Lessons Taught, 🎯 I obtained my Japanese teaching certification. This certification changed my perspective on teaching Japanese as a foreign language. While using Japanese as a native speaker felt natural, teaching it required a different approach. I'm a friendly and patient teacher who loves creating a fun and relaxed learning atmosphere. Let’s enjoy learning together!

・日本語教師養成講座420時間 修了 Completed Japanese Language Teacher Training Course ・日本語教育能力検定試験 合格 Passed Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test 語学スクールにて、主に初級クラスで対面授業の経験があります。 私のクラスでは文法の規則を理解して、練習します。そして会話でどのように使用されるのかを適切に習得します。複数の学習者から「先生の授業は緊張しないで、日本語の練習が楽しいです。分かりやすいです。」とコメントをいただきました。学習した表現を使って自分のことを言えるようになった学習者の喜びを大切にしていきたいと思います。 何かを学ぶときには、リラックスした状態の方が効果的だと考えます。ですから、私のレッスンでは、楽しくて温かい雰囲気を大切にしています。 I have experience teaching beginner and intermediate classes at a language school. In my classes, students learn grammar rules and how to use them in real conversations. I think it's more effective to learn something when you are relaxed. That's why I value a fun and warm atmosphere in my lessons.

Mr. Pan
I used to teach English in high schools, so I know how to treat students fairly, especially when they don't know how to improve themselves. By the same token, when teaching Japanese, I will try to work with them and help them to reach their goals contingent to different situations that involve diversified students. 自分が子どもの頃から厳しい先生が嫌いなので、必ず面白い方法で日本語の世界へと誘ってあげます。而如果您的興趣是中文,充滿文化背景支持我也一定會為您創造一個有深度的的中文會話環境。
