À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 13 Aug 2021Sujets d'intérêtHistoireNourritureMode et beautéAnimauxVoyages
Born in Tokyo and raised in Kanagawa, I now call Oregon home after moving from Japan last year. As an intercultural communication specialist (BA & MA), I love bridging cultures through language—especially with beginners! When not teaching, I’m baking, binge-watching shows, sewing, or traveling. I love animals, and your pets are welcome to join lessons anytime to make learning relaxed and fun. Let’s explore Japanese language *and* culture together!
東京生まれ、神奈川育ち、昨年からオレゴン在住です。国際文化学専攻（学士・修士）の経験を活かし、初心者にも優しく日本語と文化を教えています。レッスン以外ではお菓子作りや旅行、Netflix鑑賞をしていることが多いです。動物が好きなので、ペットと一緒にレッスンに参加するのも大歓迎です！リラックスした雰囲気で、一緒に楽しく学びましょう！Moi en tant que professeur
I started teaching Japanese in 2013 as a volunteer in my hometown, and completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in 2020. I have been teaching Japanese as a certified teacher since then, and I have met people from more than 30 countries through this teaching career so far. I started teaching part-time on italki in August 2021, and I have been meeting wonderful students here as well!
2013年に地元でボランティア講師として日本語を教え始め、2020年に日本語教師の資格を取得しました。それからは、有資格の教師として日本語を教えていて、日本語を教えることを通じて今まで30カ国以上の人に出会いました。italkiは2021年8月にパートタイムで始め、ここでも素晴らしい生徒さんたちに出会えています。 Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Because italki is mainly for private lessons, I would like to focus on what and how the students want to study. I think studying Japanese in Japanese is a bit too hard sometimes (especially for beginners), so I would love to help students by using English if needed.

Expérience professionnelle

Chief of English Tour GuidesI had worked at Samurai Museum in Tokyo as an English tour guide. Unfortunately, the museum has been closed due to the pandemic, but we can talk about Japanese Samurai, history, swords, armor, and so on during the lesson!
2016 - 2020
Tutor (for English, Japanese, and math)I taught Japanese and math to the 2nd-6th grade Japanese students, and English to the 7th-12th Japanese students at a cram school. The lessons were mostly private, and I learned how important to think about what the students really need and change the lesson styles depending on each student and their individual needs.
2022 - 2023
SecretaryI worked on U.S. Navy bases in Japan. The job was to support the department leadership (American people who do not understand Japanese) as a secretary in a bilingual and cross-cultural work environment. I managed scheduling, communication, and documentation, coordinated cross-cultural meetings, and liaised between English and Japanese.

For my two years of having Kana as my teacher, she is very kind and patient teacher. She waits for me if I’m not confident in my speaking. She also will help correct you if you need it. She also helps you feel more confident in your speaking by talking with you about your life in Japanese every lesson. Also the mini conversations during each lesson about what you’re learning helps a ton. I would recommend her to anyone as a Japanese tutor.

Because I really love Japan + Japanese, I asked Kana if I can try to read something about Japan, on top of my textbook lesson. I like travelling in Japan, and she chose a book and tailor made the content for my level, and we talked about a basic understanding of Japan today. It’s a really nice and interesting lesson when I can read and learn Japanese with no pressure at all. I enjoyed it so much. Really a big thank you to Kana!

I had a great trial lesson with Kana sensei. We started with introductions in Japanese and then switched to English. She was patient and kind even when I struggled. She noticed when I didn't understand and clarified new vocab or phrases using the Zoom chat feature. She also explained how her conversation lessons are structured. I'm excited to take more lessons from her soon!
