📌I welcome you to sign up for a trial lesson! I look forward to having you in the lesson! (2024 Sep 26) Hi, my name is Yoko and I am a Japanese teacher in Tokyo. Would you like to learn to speak fluently about yourself in Japanese? Let's have fun studying Japanese with a variety of conversation topics with me! 🤸‍♀〈About me〉🤸‍♀ I'm a certified Japanese tutor and I have over 10 years experience as a language tutor. All lessons are for those who want to speak fluently and correctly with confidence!! 🌿I am a native Japanese speaker, born in Japan. 🌿I have loved Japanese history since I was a child, and I used to read "Manga de yomu nihono rekishi" (History of Japan in Manga). 🌿 I love visiting historical sites, castles, temples, and shrines. In university, I studied religion and culture in ancient and medieval Japan and received a Bachelor of Arts degree. 🌿I am an active person and I like to travel. I have a long-term study abroad experience in Sydney, Australia. 🤸‍♀〈Teaching experiences〉 🤸‍♀ Currently I am working as a Japanese teacher and an English teacher (for high school students) more than 10 years in Tokyo. I used to teach English to high school students for college entrance exams at a preparatory school in Japan. However, as the number of foreign students has increased, I have had more opportunities to teach Japanese. Therefore, I decided to receive formal training as a Japanese language teacher. I took 420 hours of training in Australia to become certified as a Japanese language tutor and passed Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test last year. 🤸‍♀Free Talk Lesson🤸‍♀ 📌Target Level: N3 and above This lesson is for those who have completed learning the basics of Japanese. It is perfect for those who want to take the next step and start speaking practical Japanese in real-life situations. Through free-talking sessions, we will focus on topics such as daily conversations and current news to help you build your practical Japanese skills. 🌱Lesson Flow🌱 ①Please read the assigned news article before the lesson. ②In the lesson, we will review the content of the article and important vocabulary. ③Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions! If you find speaking in Japanese challenging, I will carefully support you, so you can participate with confidence. ④At the end of the lesson, I will provide verbal feedback. Additionally, I will distribute a handout summarizing the meanings and usage of key vocabulary, as well as similar expressions. 🌱News Topics　(Examples) 🌱 ・Is it okay to study for long hours in a café? ・What does "Ikézu" mean in Kyoto culture? ・When Japanese people say, "Let’s have dinner sometime," what should you do? ・Why is Japan currently facing a rice shortage? This lesson is for those who have a basic grammar knowledge of Japanese and want to further improve their natural conversation skills. If you want to speak Japanese with confidence, please join us! 🤸‍♀〈Beginner Japanese〉🤸‍♀ Target Level: Absolute Beginners and Above 📌 In beginner-level lessons, I use textbooks such as "Minna no Nihongo," "Yasashii Nihongo," and "Genki." These lessons provide not only grammar study but also plenty of opportunities to practice speaking Japanese and participate in conversations. The goal is to build a solid foundation in grammar while also being able to use Japanese in real-life situations. 📌 I use PowerPoint to explain the material during lessons, and after each lesson, I will provide the slides as a PDF. While it's not necessary to purchase the textbooks, having them can be very helpful for self-study and review. 🤸‍♀Qualification🤸‍♀ I took 420 hours of training in Australia to become certified as a Japanese language tutor and also passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test . 🤸‍♀Teaching style🤸‍♀ In my class, you will learn the basics of grammar, but at the same time you will learn how Japanese people naturally speak!! The reason is that Japanese do not always speak in accordance with what you learn from the textbook. Therefore, many Japanese learners have trouble understanding what native Japanese people are saying because Japanese people often omit words or phrases when they speak. In addition, Japanese word order is quite flexible, which sometimes makes it confusing for Japanese learners. In my class, you will get a lot of advice to solve those problems!! 🚴‍♀ Come join My Trial Class! 🚴 📌Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss your goals and how I can help you reach them! 📌Even if you do not speak Japanese at all, you can ask questions in English! Please relax and come to my class without being nervous. ❗️Classroom Rules ❕ ↘️ Bring your pen and a notebook to collect useful expressions in class. ↘️ Always check your connection and devices before class starts. ↘️ Cancel the class 24 hours before class.
