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!

Kanako sensei is a wonderful teacher. She's extremely patient (even as I slowly work though problems) and has made learning Japanese less intimidating and something I look forward to every week. I also really appreciate her willingness to answer questions I have about the minutia of the language as well as Japan in general, which adds a lot of context to the lessons. As someone who has tried apps and who has tried self-learning before, learning with Kanako sensei is making a world of difference!

Kanako San is patient and knowledgable, two attributes of which I am in desperate need. The fact that I am looking forward to the next lesson tells me that it is a great fit.

However shaky I am at the beginning of a lesson, Kanako-sensei always manages to put me at ease. Kanako is very supportive. Her lessons are not cookie-cutter style; she adjusts them as needed. She consistently provides constructive feedback and guidance for further improvement, which are needed to keep the motivation up. Kanako's YouTube and Podcast channels for shadowing (@japanesewithkanako) have also been instrumental in supporting my progress.
