Additional Info:	I am a friendly native Japanese speaker who is teaching Japanese lessons for students, ranging from those who have never studied Japanese before to those who are intermediate level students of Japanese.I focus on real conversations, and encourage high student talking time, which is conducive to speech development and increased confidence. I am aiming to make an atmosphere where students can talk easily and freely in lessons, and I have received favorable comment from my students about it. I am offering lessons with Hiragana, kanji and also Romanized characters, depending on the interest of students. I have been involved in teaching and Education for almost 12 years. I Studied Japanese language teaching “how to teach Japanese language to non-Japanese native speakers“ for 2 years in Japan. Since then I have been teaching Japanese language for more than 9 years. I have wide experience teaching ages from school age kids to retire people. General conversation / Listening and Speaking / Reading / Writing / Grammar / Travel Japanese / Exam Preparation Skill Examples of textbook that I have been using are Genki I & II / Japanese for busy people I & II & III / Minna no nihongo I & II / Intermediate Japanese / Nihogo Break through / Nihongo through newspaper articles / Nihongo koredake and more *I usually use textbooks that I recommend or that students request. Depending on students' levels and goals I use some materials from websites, books et cetera. which suit their levels along side a textbook. Also, with some students I use only materials from websites, books et cetera. If you have requests, please let me know in your free trail lesson. Support 1. Homework If students have time to study extra Japanese I give them homework each week. They can hand in it before the next scheduled lesson and I do correction and return it to them. Of course, I will give an explanation if there is a mistake.Homework supports the quicker improvement of my student's Japanese learning. 2. Flash cards Studying takes time and needs effort, and every students is trying their best to achieve their goal. I hope all my students study Japanese language efficiently and reach their goal. I support my student sharing flash cards and quiz of new vocabulary that they studied in the lesson. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
