About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2013Interest topicPets & AnimalsFoodTravelMusicSports & Fitness
My name is Tadahiro Murooka. I was born in Osaka, in 1972. And I live in Tokyo now.
My hobby is English, observing people, and weight training. Needless to say, I love eating Japanese food =) Especially, I found myself fond of it more than any other countries food now. And I would like to draw pictures when I have the time but I don’t at the moment… however, I want to engage in such creative work someday.
I got a start online teaching because I wanted to use English at work. I am opened and easy going, but sometimes straightforward ;/ Since I like weight training, I prefer to apply the motto 'No Pain No Gain' for my life. This spirit can be reflected on my teaching style too.Me as a Teacher
I have learned how to teach Japanese through the correspondence course of the 420 hours. And I have already been teaching Japanese for about ten years. As mentioned in 'About Me', I am not a typical type of Japanese person, rather, I would like to train my student indepent or be able to get through any issue by themselves.
Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!!My lessons & teaching style
I prefer to use GENKI book. It has two sections, Conversation & Grammar section and Reading & Writing section. I would like to cover both section because I believe that Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing has the mutual relation. And as passing by chapters, everything -even the questions themselves- come to be written in Japanese. So learing both are the matter for the student who wants to reach the intermediate or more level. As for me as a teacher, laying the found, laying the foundation is the most important. In order for that, I use the white board, audio file for shadowing or repeating practice with many homework. I'm sure that you can be confident in Japanese through my lessons!My teaching material

As always, a great class! We spent most of our time doing shadowing and listening exercises, and had a pleasant conversation about Miso soup.
