Teacher & Staff introduction

Greeting

My reason for becoming a Japanese teacher

I worked in the travel industry for many years and met many foreigners. Among them, some people tried hard to convey Japanese. I would like to support foreigners who choose Japan and feel comfortable about coming to Japan. It is unfortunate when people cannot communicate with each other due to the language barrier. With that in mind, I started teaching Japanese.

My reason for becoming a Japanese teacher

I started to be interested in languages when I was in junior high school and studied English as a major at university. Also, I have experience as a Japanese learner, and I have been working as a Japanese teacher for 8 years, hoping to help everyone who also learns Japanese as a foreign language from zero. In order to acquire a language, you need to be interested in and know about various things such as the culture, customs, and people's lives of the country. Not only that, I also think the goal of language learning is to be able to actually communicate with those words. I wanted to support Japanese learners with their goals, so I started my career as a Japanese teacher.

My reason for becoming a Japanese teacher

Through my hobby trips, I was very interested in the cultures of various countries and the historical background of those countries. In the meantime, I became aware of the country where I was born, especially the deep relationship between culture and language. Then, I deepened my interest in communication through my mother tongue, Japanese, and went on to become a Japanese teacher with the idea that learning and teaching a language means understanding and respecting different cultures.

My reason for becoming a Japanese teacher

Since I started living in Italy, I was thinking about what I could do as a Japanese and language enthusiast. And then I became a Japanese language teacher. As for me, I have also had the experience of learning a foreign language from the very beginning as an adult. So, I can fully understand how students feel and the restrictions of learning as an adult. I will try to use my own experiences to adhere to the practical situation of students. In my perspective, learning a new language which is far from my native language broadened my horizons and delighted my life. I would like my students can also experience this kind of joy.

What I am devising in online lessons

I’m dedicated to create an environment in which students can present their opinions positively and studying autonomously. And I will try my best to focus the learning process and the weak part which still need to be enhanced in as much detail as possible.

My reason for becoming a Japanese teacher

I used to have a job that didn't put too much strain on my lifestyle, but now that my child-rearing duties have settled down, I decided to change jobs and pursue something that I really love. I want to interact with people from all over the world, learn about their cultures, and incorporate those experiences into my work. I want a job that brings joy to others and provides a sense of fulfillment. I also want a job that I can do no matter where I live, and that I can continue for a long time. Being a Japanese language teacher is the perfect fit for my needs. I want to help everyone who is learning Japanese get closer to their dreams, and I want to help them learn while maintaining a sense of excitement and enthusiasm.

What I am devising in online lessons

In addition, I structure my lessons to encourage learners to speak up and express themselves, and make efforts to ensure that the stuents feel a sense of satisfaction from being able to speak Japanese fluently.

My reason for becoming a Japanese teacher

I have lived in China for one year, Thailand for six years, and Bangladesh for five years. During that time, I met many people who wanted to learn Japanese. I have a teaching license for Japanese language in middle and high schools in Japan, and I started teaching Japanese as a volunteer. This was the beginning of my journey as a Japanese teacher.
I believe that learning a language involves understanding the customs and culture of the country where the language is spoken. I have learned the local languages in the countries I lived in, and I understand the importance of knowing the culture in language learning. I would like to help you learn Japanese while exploring various topics such as traditional Japanese culture, anime, manga, and subcultures.
Let's learn Japanese together and have fun exploring the language and culture!
