Living in Other, Japan

Hello! I’m a native Japanese speaker living in Aomori prefecture, Japan. I’m currently working as an online Japanese teacher and as a Japanese calligraphy teacher at a kindergarten. I lived in Canada for six months, so I speak basic English. In my spare time I enjoy going to Karaoke and studying English. こんにちは！私は日本語が母国語で、日本の青森県に住んでいます。現在インターネットで日本語を教える仕事と、幼稚園で書道を教える仕事をしています。カナダに６ヶ月間住んでいたことがあり、基本的な英語を話すことができます。休みの日は、カラオケに行ったり、英語の勉強をしたりしています。 I have been an online Japanese teacher for over ten years now. I have experience working at a community center to teach Japanese and most of my students were beginners, so I know what kind of questions beginner students have and the simplest ways to answer those questions so students aren’t confused. I’m enthusiastic about my job on italki, so I always work hard to have useful and fun lessons. Many of my students tell me they don’t have enough time for speaking practice because their classes are too large or because they don’t have Japanese friends. I’ll let you speak a lot during our lessons. As you can see from my profile, I’ve taught hundreds of students and thousands of lessons on italki. Many of my students have taken 30+ lessons with me, which shows that students enjoy my lessons and teaching style.

I've been doing lessons Yuri 先生 for a number of years now and she's always been a wonderful teacher. I really admire and appreciate her patience and her creativity with the lessons she crafts. Any confidence in my speaking has been down to her efforts, thank you Yuri 先生!

In today's lesson, after conversation we worked through a set of questions about times when a person has two different emotions, and "would you rather" style questions. Thank you for a great lesson!

I had my first trial lesson with Yuri 先生 today and thoroughly enjoyed it! My aim is to improve my Japanese speaking and listening comprehension skills. I was quite nervous at first, but Yuri 先生 put me at ease so quickly with her friendliness and warmth. She was very patient and gave me the chance to express myself, while explaining the vocabulary and correcting my grammar as I went along. I highly recommend Yuri 先生!
