初めまして！(Hajimemashite!) My name is Max, and I am currently teaching Japanese at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia! I lived in Japan on and off for three years while teaching English to pre-school through junior high school. In the process, I learned that I love teaching and decided to be a certified Japanese teacher in the U.S.!
I have been learning Japanese, almost exclusively on my own, for over 15 years, so I am up to date on all of the most valuable language learning tools available to date. My interests include learning other languages (right now I'm learning Korean!), health and nutrition, and, if I have time, anime and video games (especially Dance Dance Revolution).Ik als leerkracht
I'm always looking for the latest and greatest trends in language learning. Right now I am looking into how to use AI to aid in language learning, especially as a way of helping students begin to understand "authentic" (non-learner focused materials e.g. created by Japanese people for Japanese people) materials. I have found that the software that makes phenomenal use of AI in this way, and use it myself to further improve my own language abilities!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I'm here to teach you that you can do hard things. I'm not just teaching you Japanese, but teaching you HOW to learn Japanese! The tools available to learn a language are constantly evolving and it can be extremely difficult to keep up, but I'm here to show you that you CAN learn Japanese! My goal is to set you up with a system to allow you to learn Japanese from any authentic resources that you are interested in. Implementing small daily habits and consistency are more important than anything else when it comes to language learning, so if you follow the plan I lay out and don't give up, you are guaranteed success! 一緒に頑張りましょう！(Let's do our best! You got this!)Mijn lesmateriaal

Max does an incredible job of making learning fun and engaging! We went through a bunch of panels of a manga and read it together while he was able to explain any words/phrases/grammar I didn't know and answered all of my questions around it! Super fun way to teach and I had a great time with it!

Max was great at getting me set up to either learn with him or by myself and made it clear that he wanted to help me with my goals, regardless of if I was going to continue taking lessons from him! Super fun to talk to and very much recommend him for anyone that wants help getting started with where to learn Japanese and how to progress!
