I am a very friendly and patient teacher. I’ve been a language teacher for more than 20 years and I love it! I taught students from one-year-old kids to adults in person. For online lessons, I usually teach students from eight-year-old to adults. There's nothing like seeing my students getting excited about learning Japanese in my class. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment. My motto for learning Japanese is to make mistakes without worrying too much and to speak a lot in Japanese. Have fun with it :)

I have extensive experience teaching complete beginners (starting from hiragana and katakana). In my lessons, I use textbooks and original materials to practice not only grammar but also natural conversation. For intermediate and advanced levels, I also teach textbook lessons, free talk, news, and composition. Especially recommend my lessons to those who want to: * master both grammar and conversation * gain confidence in conversation * study carefully from the basics * sound more like a native speaker こんにちは!麻衣(まい)と申します。 日本語教師として、これまで約9年の実績があります。東京の語学学校で3年間、台湾の語学学校で2年間教えていました。子供から大人まで、50音から上級まで教授経験があり、主にグループレッスンを行っていました。現在はオンライン教師として、マンツーマンで4年教えています。 私のレッスンでは、「生徒さんにとにかくたくさん話してもらうこと!」を大切にしています。 特に初級を中心に教えています。全くの初心者(ひらがな・カタカナから開始)に教えた経験が多数あります。 レッスンでは教科書とオリジナル教材を使って、文法だけではなく、自然な会話を練習します。 その他、中級以上は教科書レッスン、フリートーク、ニュース、作文などを指導しています。 特に、 ・文法も会話も身に付けたい方 ・会話に自信をつけたい方 ・基礎から丁寧に勉強したい方 ・よりネイティブに近づきたい方 におすすめです!!

Lesson Taylor | Tailor-made Japanese lessons for new learners to advanced (オーダーメイド日本語レッスン) As a teacher, I value flexibility. Every student has different backgrounds, and the most effective way to master a language varies from person to person, so I always adjust my lessons to fit what you need. Thankfully, my students often tell me that I have a calm and relaxed way of teaching, which makes it easier for them to speak without feeling nervous. Ultimately, I want to be a teacher who listens carefully and encourages you. I’ll do my best to guide you in your Japanese learning journey, while making sure you always feel comfortable and motivated. 先生としては、柔軟性を大切にしています。みんな違うバックグラウンドがあるはずなので、それぞれに合わせたレッスンをするのが大切だと考えています。ありがたいことに、リラックスした雰囲気で話せるというフィードバックをよく頂くので、皆さんが心地良い環境で学習できるように努めます!

Over 6 years of teaching in language school experience 【When I was a university student】 I helped Japanese children and exchange students to learn Japanese as a tutor. I also had experienced Japanese tutoring for American students in Arizona State University. 【Now】 I'm working as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners. By working as a teacher, I realized that age doesn't matter!! There is no late to start learning! Basically, when I teach, I will use Japanese all the way to improve your Japanese skill. But, you can also ask questions in English or Portuguese if it's hard. I understand how difficult to learn foreign languages by my experience. But I'll try my best to help you! Don't worry.

Friendly &Flexible. にほんごをまなぼう、にほんごでまなぼう。 During my time in America, as a Teaching Assistant, I was teaching ‘history of cinema’ and practical ‘basic filmmaking ‘ to American college students. Also, I joined activities to teach Japanese culture and language to people. Since my returning to Japan, I have had many opportunities to interact with many local people from all over the world when I visit abroad for my job of movie making. Throughout these experiences, I have been feeling keenly about “the joy and difficulty of verbal communication. With this kind of experience, I can support and lead each student to learn Japanese language.
