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 graduated from a university in Kyoto and got qualified to teach elementary students in Japan.
I have been living in Canada for about 20 years. I homeschooled all my kids and have been teaching the Japanese language through online to students from beginner to intermediate.
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. Please let me know if you have preferred materials.
Do you want to learn from Anime? Do you just want to speak in Japanese?
I am so excited to teach each student.
Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Reiko is a very good and experienced teacher. She knows how to find your level and keep things focused there, while also pushing you forward so you are always progressing. Since working with Reiko, I have moved forward a lot and have more confidence with listening and speaking and engaging in conversation.

Great lesson. I like the warm-up at the beginning of the session when Reiko San asks me a few questions about my day, my week, the weather, etc. Reiko San is always very patient and encouraging! I feel challenged enough. I enjoy each lesson very much.
