Japanese | Native |

I specialize in teaching Japanese, and I also connect students with Japanese language instructors through Cafetalk. I've got extensive experience, having worked for Japanese-based companies for 12 years and North American-based ones for 20 years. This background has given me a deep understanding of business etiquette in both Asia and North America.
When I first moved to Canada, my English wasn't fluent, but I managed to learn it by studying and interacting with others. Because of this experience, I'm confident that I can teach you various effective ways to learn and remember lessons.
In addition to my work, I pursued a second career in psychology and coaching, where I've had the privilege of interacting with around 20,000 people over 16 years. I'm a good listener, and I'm here to hear your stories.
During my university days, I participated in a Japanese language teacher training program. It was there that I encountered a profound quote from one of my professors: "Words are alive. Words are living things and dying things." This quote has stayed with me ever since and forms the foundation of my teaching philosophy, which I call "Living with words."
In my lessons, I aim to make learning Japanese fun and inspiring, with a focus on practical usage in real-life situations. Most of our lessons will be conducted entirely in Japanese, but if needed, I can provide explanations in English. Don't hesitate to join and participate, even if your Japanese skills are limited.
✨Here are some key points about my lessons ✨
▶ Lessons are primarily conducted in Japanese, with English explanations available if necessary.
▶ I prioritize understanding and empathizing with each student's unique journey.
▶ My main focus is on real-life Japanese communication, especially through free talk lessons.
▶ With my extensive business experience in Japan and North America, I can provide insights into Japanese business culture and etiquette.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and embarking on this language-learning journey together! ♡
