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

• I started to teach Japanese 17 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 5000 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!

 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 everyone! Thanks for visiting my profile page :)　

Are you interested in Japanese Culture? Would you like to start learning a new language? Let's get started!!

【About myself】

I have lived in Canada for about 10 years and I have taught Japanese as a private tutor for about 9 years. It's been a pleasure to meet people from all over the world, study Japanese together, and share Japanese culture.   

【How do we study?】

I use a method called "Active learning". You need to study and prepare before the lesson in order to be involved in the learning process actively. In that way, you can learn the language effectively. I have been learning English for over 15 years, and all I can say is the key to success is repetition and being continuous!

【Would it be possible to speak Japanese fluently?】

Many people ask me how long will it take to speak Japanese fluently. My answer is it depends on you. If you engage with Japanese more time every day, you will acquire it faster. There are many ways to engage with your learning language. It might be like watching your favorite Japanese shows or writing a diary every day in Japanese, and so on.  Find a fun way to learn Japanese with me!

I accept all levels of students so if you're a beginner, I will teach you from your level of comfort. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at the trial lesson!

-----------------------------------📌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!

My role is to be your mentor who support your goal. I believe in you and help you acquiring Japanese. Your course will be designed on your request based on your pace, interests, learning style and learning history.

In my classes, I try to give more time to speaking practice. Because learners cannot do this all alone. You can do writing practice at home. You can take time to look for the words and structure them carefully and try out something new. Watching short videos and listening to music can also be given as an assignment. I will help you with many picture slides. Once you get comfortable creating sentences with the new expressions and vocabulary, I will offer activities which stimulate conversations.

I do not insist on handwriting. I leave it to the learners. Handwriting helps some learners to memorize. Other learners are visual and rather work with flash cards. Nowadays, there is little necessity for handwriting. Most written communication is typed.

Beginners will have to decide on their textbook. I usually prefer the one which the learner has already been using. If the learner wants to have a new book or they have none, I can recommend one. The learner uses the textbook for doing homework, reviewing, or pre-study. I will use slides in the lessons for oral practice. For those who want conversation lessons, the materials can vary depending on the learner’s wishes.

Teaching is my joy. I appreciate each meeting that brings me the chance to learn through my teaching. Seeing the progress of my students makes me happy.

Hello there! I'm Norah.  I am a Certified tutor of The 420-hour Advanced Japanese Teacher  Training Course.

I was born and raised in Saitama and was working in Tokyo for 20 years. I speak "Tokyo-standard accent Japanese" and can teach Keigo (A special polite speech style) for business.

I have been teaching Japanese since 2018. When I was living in Florida, I was volunteering to help students who studied Japanese at a University, and that experience brought me to become an online Japanese tutor. 

[My style]
I want you to relax and enjoy our lesson, I will ask you how you want to study Japanese. Some students want to study grammar accurately, some want to have conversations, some want to read books with me, and some students want to write a diary in Japanese! I can be flexible according to what you want.  If you are not sure how to study Japanese, I will suggest the best way for you. 

• e.g.: beginner's lesson 
  -greetings
  -small talk about weekends, weather, news, Netflix, etc
  -reading diary (if a student wrote, I will check and correct it)
  -vocabulary review 
  -grammar practice
  -make your own sentences, answer my questions
  -listening practice or reading practice

[Accent, Intonation of Japanese]
Pronunciation between English and Japanese is very different!  I will help your accent and pronunciation to sound more natural in Japanese. 

[My favorite materials]
Of course, you can use your favorite textbooks but I prefer to use these. Also, I use many different types of books for fun including comics, and news websites to gain vocabulary.

• Beginners
  Genki 1 and 2 (Third edition)/ Marugoto Series A1, A2 
   
• Intermediate 
  Marugoto Series B1, B2 /Quartet Series 1
   
• Advanced and Business Japanese
  Quartet Series 2/ にほんご敬語トレーニング/ 実戦ビジネス日本語会話

[Message to all Japanese-language learners]
I love teaching, listening to my students, and speaking with people from different countries.  A small question may help your comprehension of the Japanese language. Don't hesitate to ask me.  I would love to support you! Looking forward to seeing you.  Book a trial lesson now! :)
