🔴 Passed JLPT N1 but still feel your Japanese is not natural enough? You know grammar and vocabulary, but: ✔ Discussions become unclear ✔ Interviews feel difficult ✔ Your Japanese sounds unnatural or childish ⚖️ With 14 years of experience at one of Japan’s top law firms, I train advanced learners to move from “correct Japanese” → “professional communication.” 🔹 Teaching Philosophy Developing practical Japanese communication step by step 🔴 Two-Step Training Method ① Logical & Concise Communication First, we build the ability to speak clearly and logically • organize ideas • explain key points • respond concisely • structure arguments ② Sophisticated Japanese Expression Then we refine: • keigo (polite language) • nuance and tone • structured communication • persuasive expression → This allows you to develop Japanese that can: ✔ communicate clearly ✔ choose appropriate expressions ✔ deepen discussions 🔴 Hybrid Lessons My lessons combine: 📚 JLPT preparation 💬 real-world communication training This helps learners move from test Japanese to practical Japanese. 🔹 Lesson Programs ① Advanced Japanese for Professionals • Keigo training • Meetings and presentation practice • Discussion and negotiation skills • Facilitation training • Japanese corporate culture & business customs ② Interview Preparation • Resume / CV guidance • Motivation statements & self-introduction correction • Mock interviews • Structuring answers that impress interviewers • Understanding differences between 🏢 Japanese companies 🌏 global companies ③ JLPT N2 / N1 Preparation(Practical Approach) • Grammar strengthening • Reading comprehension training • Listening practice • Training that improves communication after passing JLPT 🔹 What Makes My Lessons Different 🟠 Transform Passive Japanese → Active Japanese Many advanced learners understand Japanese but struggle to use it naturally. My lessons focus on turning knowledge into usable communication skills. 🟠 Teaching based on Second Language Acquisition (SLA) Lessons are designed based on language acquisition theory, helping students develop communication ability efficiently. 🟠 Real Japanese used in professional environments Training includes situations such as: • interviews • business discussions • presentations • negotiations • facilitation 🟠 Step-by-step communication training short logical responses → long structured explanations → persuasive communication 🔹 Instructor Background Many of my students are professionals from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore working in international business environments. I have taught many professionals working in international environments, including: • lawyers • bankers • doctors • university professors • IT engineers • MBA graduates • government officials and embassy staff 🔴 14 years at one of Japan’s top law firms (Mori Hamada & Matsumoto) • extensive experience using advanced Japanese in legal practice • experience supporting recruitment and hiring processes • coaching from an interviewer’s perspective 🟠 Able to explain differences between 🏢 Japanese companies 🌏 international companies 🔴 Professional Calligraphy Artist(40+ years) Recipient of the Prime Minister’s Award in Japanese Calligraphy • cultural exchange with international leaders • deep understanding of Japanese language structure beauty of expression communication nuance 🎓 Aoyama Gakuin University – Faculty of Law 🎓 TOEIC 980 🎓 Certified Japanese Coach based on Second Language Acquisition (SLA) 📚 More than 3,000 lessons taught (1,000+ on AmazingTalker, plus corporate training and private lessons) 📈 More than half of my students study with me for over one year and many continue for three years or more. 🔹 Recommended for ✔ JLPT N2 – N1 learners ✔ Those who passed N1 but struggle to express ideas naturally ✔ Professionals who want to debate, present, and interview in Japanese ✔ Learners who want to master nuance and natural expression ✔ Students preparing for JLPT while improving practical communication Although many of my students are professionals, ✨ anyone serious about improving is welcome. 🔹 Trial Lesson During the trial lesson: • Your Japanese level will be assessed • We analyze why communication difficulties occur • A personalized learning plan will be proposed You will clearly understand 👉 what to work on next. Feel free to contact me! 🔹 Lesson & Cancellation Policy ⚠️ For lesson quality and safety, please keep your camera ON during lessons. ⏰ Lesson rescheduling or cancellation is allowed up to 12 hours before the lesson. If a cancellation occurs within 12 hours or on the same day, the lesson may be reported as completed on AmazingTalker with mutual agreement between the teacher and the student.
