Multilingual | 10+ Years,12,000+ Hours Teaching Experience | Tailored Lessons for Professionals |懂中文 In every session, I strive to follow the approach of "teaching a man to fish for a lifetime instead of giving him a fish for a day," fostering independent learning and long-term skill development. This approach is inspired by my experiences of learning foreign languages while living in cities like Beijing, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Istanbul, and Vientiane, which helped me understand the challenges of language acquisition. I am committed to helping you enrich your career and personal life through learning Japanese. Most of my students have regular weekly slots, so my availability is limited. However, feel free to contact me to discuss your preferred time, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

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。

I have started teaching as a teaching assistant in Japanese classes when I was going to college. For the last 20 years, I've been helping new employees to get adjusted to their lives in Japan. Teaching basic Japanese was one of the support I was providing. I have helped my friends to pass JLPT. I have also supported foreign tourists as a volunteer guide in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Therefore, I am confident that I can support beginner level students well. I love seeing their smiles when they were able to use the language that they learned with locals. That’s the best thing when you are learning a new language. We will talk a lot in my class. That's the best way to gain confidence.

Practical Japanese for Real Life & Work 🇯🇵 | Conversation Support in English Do you understand some Japanese, but struggle to speak naturally in real conversations? I help beginner and intermediate learners build practical Japanese that they can actually use in daily life, travel, and work. My lessons are especially suitable for learners who want to: • speak more confidently in everyday situations • communicate with Japanese people at work • improve listening and speaking skills • prepare for travel or life in Japan • understand Japanese grammar clearly with English support I can explain difficult grammar and expressions in English when needed, so you do not have to worry if you are still a beginner. In my lessons, I focus on both input and output. We will learn useful words and expressions, and then practice using them in real conversations. I also adjust each lesson to your goals and level. If you already know some Japanese, we will build on what you know instead of starting completely from zero. During a trial lesson, I will check your current level, ask about your goals, and show you how we can build a practical study plan together. You do not need to speak perfect Japanese. Making mistakes is part of learning. If you want to become more confident using Japanese in real life, I would be happy to support you. 😊
