I have taught Japanese to English speakers as a private tutor since 2014. I am an online tutor after covid 19 pandemic. I was in California U.S.A for 7 years and taught Japanese at a language school. I am still teaching my students online. They are so happy to come to Japan after the Japanese government finally would open our border to tourists in October 2022. My students have various reasons for learning Japanese. They are studying Japanese with me for several years. Some of them are in Japan now as English teacher, exchange student, and works at Japanese company. My teaching method is very simple. The balance of reading, writing, listening, and speaking is very important. Every content is an essential skill. But I want my students to speak a lot during lessons. I would order to my students make sentences a lot with new words and grammar. I believe they like to do and enjoy speaking Japanese with me. I also never skip simple practice at each lesson. For example conjugation of verbs and adjectives, They are a bit complicated for English speakers but I do it with my students during the lesson. The particles are the most time-consuming skill, but My students can attach them to each word. They can know how to attach to words as a Quiz with me. I love to teach children as well. I may be their first Japanese teacher, but they will have many Japanese teachers, so I would like to teach them not only the Japanese language. I would like to tell them about Japan, Japanese people, and Japanese culture. I always provide textbooks as pdf files to my students. I don't skip simple tasks. Kids students forget new grammar and words easily. But we will do these simple practices again and again during lessons. It means my students speak Japanese a lot and like to do these practices with me. It is one of the reasons why I have many kids students. If I can help you, it would be my pleasure. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
