Looking for a Japanese teacher or Japanese classes for adults in Houston?

Hello! My name is Nami. I am a Japanese native speaker. 

• I started to teach Japanese 16 years ago.
• I worked as a Japanese teacher at a language school.
• I've taught Japanese in group and private lessons.
• I’ve taught more than 4000 lessons online.

Trial lesson

• I will use presentation slides to explain how we learn Japanese.
• Self-introduction in Japanese. (If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry! I will show you step-by-step.)
• I will suggest a customized lesson plan for you. Let's make your desired lesson plan together!

Beginners

• If you haven't learned them yet, we will start with Japanese characters Hiragana and Katakana. Knowing Japanese characters will help you pronounce each word correctly and understand the grammar easily.
• We will use textbooks and workbooks, which are well structured and based on conversational Japanese. I will provide you PDF files of the textbook and other documents. My lessons cover all Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. The textbook has a lot of exercises so you can practice grammar in different situations. We will also have a conversation using the grammar we learned in the previous lessons.
• If you already know some Japanese, let me know your Japanese level and learning experience, then we can decide where to start.

Conversation

• Let’s practice Japanese in your desired speech style.

I am looking forward to seeing you!

Let's start speaking!

I have a high passion for learning languages!
Myself, I learn and speak more than 6 languages besides my native language.
I also work as a designer and an artist.

Class types (55min/30min):

• Japanese for beginners (include homework) (A0-)
• Conversation Practice (A2-)
• Writing correction (A1-) (Offline)

Me as a Teacher

I have experience teaching at a private school, and I’ve been teaching the Japanese language & culture to foreigners for more than 7 years.
In 2021, I earned a TESOL certification, and in 2022 I earned the certificate "Teaching Japanese as a foreign language".
Although, I still continue to study Japanese language education.
I believe that it’s most important to HAVE FUN to keep your motivation of learning.

My lessons & teaching style

• Tailored lessons to each individual's level and purpose
• For beginners, I can explain also in English!
• Quick result!

POLICY

• If a lesson is about to start within 12 hours, it can NOT be changed to a new time or canceled. Last-minute cancellations won't be refunded.
• If you are more than 10 minutes late without notice the class will be considered a no-show and fully charged.

 I have about 800 lessons of experience teaching online with students in various countries as Japanese tutor. I am certified by The World Japanese Language Centre for the 420 hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course.  Because of my experience and good knowledge of Japanese business environment, I know how to communicate with Japanese people in the business scene and how to respond.  I also teach children from very young age. I customize lessons depending on the student and their aim, goals and personality etc.  I was born in Japan and raised in Tokyo. I experienced living in Kyushuu, and Okayama, too, as my father moved there to work. Every time I made friends, I had to say ''Kon-nichiwa'' and ''Sayoonara''. A bit sad but it was great to see new friends. I live in the UK now. As I mentioned, I am teaching Japanese after my work experience of Japanese companies. It has been a great experience working there with great people. This helps a lot to teach my students who are thinking to live in Japan and work for Japanese companies. 

Hello!  Nice to meet you!  My name is Reiko.  I am from Osaka, Japan.  Yes, Osaka!  It's a fun and entertaining place to visit!

I have been living in Canada for about 20 years.  I homeschool all my kids and have been teaching the Japanese language online to students.

My students are from 6years old to adults (50s) right now.

I use 'Genki' for teens and older students, and 'Japanese for young people' for younger children, and I use other materials for addition.

Any textbooks are always welcome.  I can teach with the materials that suit you.

Do you want to learn from Anime?  Do you just want to speak in Japanese?

I am so excited to teach each student.   I can learn through teaching students, too.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

If you would like to learn Japanese with lots of fun, I am right here!

Free conversation/ Reading training/ Pronunciation check/ Writing practice/ Using Minna-no-Nihongo or other textbook for studying grammar.

-----------------------------------📌Things I want to tell you📌-----------------------------------

I know how difficult it is to learn foreign languages because I spent tons of time acquiring English and Spanish.

I believe, from my experiences, that learning foreign languages is like a "long journey".

It's impossible to arrive at the destination the next day but we know we can arrive there someday unless we stop moving forward💪

Let's pleased with our small progress than big progress🙌
 

I look forward to joining your journey!

Hello everyone. I’m Yoko. Nice to meet you.

I was born, raised and educated in Tokyo. I moved to Brazil in 2001 and now live in the UK.  

I speak Japanese, Portuguese and English.

I know how hard it is to learn foreign languages, but it’s also fantastic to be able to communicate with people in the world.

I tailor my classes for all levels (your interests, needs, and also goals).  

- Start from zero?  That's great, we can have a lot of fun together to do speaking, grammar and writing hiragana and Katakana. I always encourage my students to learn Hiragana and Katakana at least. I believe being able to read Japanese helps your understanding and importantly, motivates you more.  

- Looking for a conversation partner?  Yes, I can do that. We can talk about anything you want, e.g., celebrity gossip, news about what's happening in the world.  

- Looking for someone who corrects your writing? Yes, please count on me. Please send me your writing at least 1 day before the class. We’ll review it together in class.

I can give you accurate instructions, because I myself have been learning English and Portuguese for a long time, as I understand common mistakes we usually make.   

[Beginner]

Material: ‘GENKI’’MARUGOTO’ or others (PPT, videos, music etc)

Learn:  speaking, listening and writing (Hiragana and Katakana)

[Conversation]

Free conversation, discussion

Learn:  Speak correctly

[Writing correction]

Pls send me your writing at least 1 day before the class. We’ll review it together in class.  

*All the classes are available both in English and Portuguese.  

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
