Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 9 Jun 2013InterestsReizenFoodArtReading
I am a professional bilingual Japanese–English language teacher with an international background. Born and raised in Japan, I offer native fluency and deep cultural insight. My education in Australia(B.A. in Linguistics&B.Ed) provides me with a Western perspective on language acquisition. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap for English speakers learning Japanese. I explain complex grammar points clearly in English while providing authentic, culturally relevant learning materials.

I am a professional Japanese teacher and have been teaching with italki since 2013. I can assist absolute beginner to highly advanced level students (including N5-N1 preparation), who are willing to manage aspects of their own learning. Thanks to many of my students, I have been become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers at italki.
I use PPT and Word documents to explain grammar points, etc. in English. My native language is Japanese, but I am trained and qualified to teach in Australia and I feel more comfortable explaining Japanese in English. This approach can be especially helpful for English-speaking students. For advanced learners, I may use little to no English. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Informal Tutoring (WITHOUT Textbooks, Set Topics, or Lesson Plans): This is a relaxed space to practise speaking Japanese. We can talk about any topic that interests us, and I will correct any errors during our conversation. Due to the advanced nature of this course, it is only suitable for INTERMEDIATE+ learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese
Professional lessons (WITH Lesson Plans and Textbooks/Resources): These are structured lessons using textbooks, resources from the Japanese education system, and newspaper articles.
I can assist with:
・ Homework and assignments
・ Proofreading and reviewing
・ Exam preparation, etc.
The ability to recognise hiragana is essential.Mijn lesmateriaal

Kara sensei is a great Japanese teacher! In classes, we talk in Japanese for a while before diving into the textbook, which gives a lot of practical practice. Kara is very positive and joyful and makes learning Japanese very fun and enjoyable! I'd definitely recommend taking classes with her.

This lesson we did a lot of talking and started reading a passage in Ch17.
I got an A in GCSE Japanese!

My conversation class was perfect! She made sure to correct all my mistakes to make my conversation more natural, while explaining me everything (down to my pronunciation) in a fun and engaging way!
Looking forward to book my next lesson!

What a wonderful class. We talked the entire time. Kara sensei constantly wrote notes on the chat for me. At the end she said that we had reviewed lessons 1-6 in the book. What a wonderful way to teach. Reviewing material without the student even knowing it. Her class is so much fun. Thank you, Kara sensei.

Kana was gracious with me this week because she knows February is my busiest month of the year. It's with her help that I was able to pass the JLPT N5 in December. I'm excited to aim for the N4 this coming year.
