Ik als leerkracht
I have taught students from different countries for more than 3,500 lessons on italki as well as one-on-one lessons for business persons working in Japan. My teaching philosophy centers on helping students consolidate solid foundations than leads to autonomous study. Through a trial lesson or first lesson, I suggest a suitable textbook to tailor to individual goals, considering each student's learning style.

Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Practice makes perfect. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It's part of learning. Let's enjoy the process!!
If you want me to point out areas for improvement, this is the place for you. I am a coach who wants to help students improve their Japanese. I will point out grammatical errors and pronunciation as necessary.
Cancellation/Reschedule policy: my policy reflects the italki restriction. Rescheduling lessons must be completed on the system at least 24 hours before their start time.

今日は先生がまた面白い記事を紹介してくれました。抹茶・煎茶・てん茶の違いについて学ぶことができました。それに、抹茶に関わる日本国内の問題についても理解が深まりました。I'm always looking forward for the lessons! ありがとうございます。

Another interesting topic discussed with Tom Sensei. I'm always looking forward for the lessons as not only did I get to improve on my speaking and reading, I also get to know the current affairs in Japan (of course and the associated vocabularies too!). いつもありがとうございます。
