Welcome to my trial lesson! 
Please let me know your Japanese level (A1~C2 or JLPT N5~N1) and which of my lesson options you are interested in when you send me a trial lesson request :) 

I will send you some questions after you send me the trial lesson request. It may be slightly different depending on your answers to those questions, but our trial lesson will be conducted as below: 
 - self-introduction and short conversation in Japanese (as much as you can)  
 - lesson demonstration / explanation of my lesson options in English (or in Japanese)
 - Q&As in English (or in Japanese)

【Notes / Lesson Policy】
1. The "Trial Lesson" includes some Japanese practice, but its primary purpose is counseling—discussing your learning needs and introducing the lesson options I offer. If you're not looking to continue with regular lessons and simply wish to try a one-time conversation practice, please choose the “Chat & Learn!” option from the available lesson menu instead.

2. The actual lesson time is for 25 minutes (5 minutes shorter than the scheduled time).

3. Regardless of the reason, all cancellation/rescheduling requests within 24 hours prior to start of the lesson will be rejected and be treated as a no-show, and your lesson fee will not be refunded.

Thank you for your understanding! 
See you in our trial lesson ;)

Let's practice Japanese through our fun chat sessions! 

This lesson is open to all levels. Yes, that's you right there! ;) 
You can pick any topic you are interested in or I can pick for you if you want! Please let me know in the message! 

【Notes】
*Please be noted that I do not plan beforehand nor provide you with any worksheets/textbook data for this lesson. If you would like more structured lessons, please book from my other lesson options.

**[A1 speakers] Although it is open to any level, please be noted that this is a conversation practice and some grammar and vocabulary foundation will be required. I will of course help you with expressions during our conversations if necessary, but please prepare with related vocabulary and phrases of the topic you want to talk about before you come to this lesson.  

***If you are a first timer and send me a request with sensitive or controversial topics (politics, religions, genders, environmental problems, etc.), your request might get rejected. I would like to provide you an opportunity to practice talking about those topics, but I need to build rapport with you first! :)

【My Lesson Policy】
1. The actual lesson time is 5 mins shorter than the scheduled time.  

2. Regardless of the reason, all cancellation/rescheduling requests within 24 hours prior to the lesson will be rejected and be treated as a no-show, and your lesson fee will not be refunded.   

3. You can message me about lesson/homework planning (e.g. "Can you teach me the difference between ... and ~~~ in our next lesson?" or "can I write 200 letters instead of 300 letters for my composition assignment?"), but please refrain from asking me any grammar/expression-related questions outside of lessons. 

4. Before you leave a negative review, please let me know directly if you have any requests or feedbacks regarding my lessons. I am willing to improve myself and become better!

Thank you for your understanding! See you in my lesson ;)
