About Me

・Graduated from National University in Japan ( I have a teaching license) .
・Working at Vancouver Japanese Language School and Burnaby Japanese Language School for group classes.
・Private Japanese lessons for 1 on 1, over 4 years.

1)Where are you from, exactly ?
My mom is from a little island, located in the south part, my dad is from the mountain side and I am from Osaka. After I was born, We moved to Tokyo for 10 years and then We came back to Osaka. Because of that, I know 2 major accents, standard and Osaka (well… actually more. If you read the next topic you are going to know why) and also the great nature of Japan. Yes, I’m a bit of everything !

2)What makes you an unique teacher ?
After I graduated from a national university, Hyogo University of Teacher Education, I decided to discover my country and the world.
So, I did a bicycle and hitchhiking trip, I spent every single night at someone’s house for a year in Japan. Then, I started to live in many different countries. I’ve been out of Japan for over a decade, so far.
Those experiences affect not only my understanding of cultures, but also my teaching.
My class won’t be only following the textbook, it comes with cultural perspectives through my experiences.

3)Why are you teaching ?
Spreading History and Culture : Japanese has a long history. I became addicted to knowing more deeper side of my country and sharing my knowledge to the weebs after traveling !
Love to encourage : Simply like to encourage someone. Let me teach, please ! is the sentence that’s always in my mind. I love to see you improve !
Making friends : I think this is the most beautiful part of teaching. All my students become super good friends.
Protecting my culture : After all of those experiences, I truly realized how much cultures are disappearing in this world. I wanna preserve my culture.
And more and more ……

4)Are doing this for getting allowance like the others ?
Currently, I have been providing group lessons for kids, who have different backgrounds in Vancouver, and have been teaching Japanese to anyone who loves to learn one on one.
I’ve even been creating my own contents for better Japanese teaching. I am fully commit my time for this job, not the side business.
This is officially my main focus ;)

5)What you wanna say to students ?
Creating together with a flexible teacher is the best way to improve your language skill, I believe.
What I wanna do through our class is to concentrate on "You reach your own goal". Let me find out what is "Missing" in your Japanese skills with specific methods that will adjust for your level.
And Let’s have a fun moment together ! As long as you have a interest to know Japanese, don't hesitate to contact me ;) !

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Chiaki
Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teaching
Hello!🍡 My name is Chiaki (千明 in Japanese, it means "a thousand lights") and I am a Japanese teacher in Lausanne. Passionate about foreign languages and cultures, I studied Japanese teaching at university and obtained a master's degree in language teaching. I truly believe that a good teacher is also a learner. Through my own experiences with languages like English, German, Arabic, Italian, Korean, and French, I have come to understand the challenges, doubts, and joys that come with diving into a new language. For me, learning a language is more than just words. It’s a way to see the world through a new lens, to understand different cultures, and to build bridges between people. I believe that this knowledge can break down barriers and foster a more peaceful world. 🕊️ As a Japanese teacher, my goal is to offer my students the chance to discover the world through the “Japanese prism”🌈 If you dream of learning Japanese, I would be happy to accompany you :)
