About Me

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
— Pablo Picasso

I am the type of teacher that every student looks forward to seeing every day. I like each of my lectures to be akin to a comedy stand-up routine where the learners are laughing so much, they don’t realize they’re also learning.

Route memorization would be out, but general concepts and theory would be required. Tests—if even necessary—would be light-hearted and breezy. Tests could be retaken as many times as needed*

Education

University of Tokyo

My educational background has prepared me well and for a successful career path in teaching Swahili for fun. I also plan to pursue further coursework in the future to keep learning and gain the qualifications to advance in this field.

Experience / Qualifications

Graduate studies

I also use digital and online resources and make sure my students have access to them too. I make sure that they can freely contact me digitally (such as via Skype, Go2Meeting etc.) to work through any problems.

I am honored to have been teaching for so long, and I will gladly do it for as long as I have the opportunity.

Yeon
Authentic Korean lessons by an experienced native tutor, with summary note
Hello, I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience. In my lessons, you'll learn authentic and respectful Korean that goes beyond textbooks. I'll help you communicate naturally and confidently, while also gaining insights into Korean culture, society, and history to understand the language in its true context. Who I am: I spent my entire life living and working in Korea, giving me a deep understanding of Korean society and culture. I have a deep love for the Korean language and have enjoyed improving and polishing Korean sentences since childhood, which naturally led me to teaching Korean. I also enjoy visiting historical sites, hiking in the outdoors, and digging for clams in summer. I’d love to share my insights and experiences with you. What you'll get in the lessons: - Personalized lessons for all levels, from beginner to advanced - Practice forming and using correct sentences in speaking, writing, listening, and reading with a focus on accurate pronunciation - Learn polite and natural expressions that native speakers use, many phrases in Korean textbooks for foreigners aren't appropriately polite - A summary note after each lesson to review and practice - Anytime, via Zoom at your locaton How to improve your Korean: People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning another language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Lesson Details: I'm in Korea, in the Korea Standard Time (KST) zone. Punctuality is important, so I expect students to be on time and stick to the schedule. My English is at an intermediate level and I have a Korean accent. Thank you, Yeon

Spanish for beginners: Grammar, phonetics and pragmatics in a course accompanied by a cool teacher.
Spanish is the second most popular language in the world with 486 million speakers. Migration movements and international job offers have made Spanish one of the key requirements for achieving good communication with others. However, due to its linguistic characteristics, learning Spanish can be a bit of a difficult task. In this course I invite you to take a first approach to Spanish through specific communicative situations and personalized classes that I will adapt to your needs. As a teacher of Spanish and Latin American Literature with more than eight years of experience, I have developed the ability to understand the demands of my students and create teaching proposals that allow them to overcome their difficulties. Furthermore, as a student of other languages such as English, German and Italian, I have learned the importance of patience in second language learning situations and also how frustrating it can be at times. For this reason, I offer you a course in which I will accompany you to explore Spanish with a thorough and personalized follow-up of your learning path. Humor, didactics, grammar and literature are combined in this course so that you can acquire a new tool that is not only linguistic but also cultural and powerful for your mental health. I hope you enjoy it

Francesca
"Wanderlust and Discovery: A Journey Through Diverse Destinations and Cultures Around the Globe"
This lesson focuses on how travelling and exploring new places can be engaging and educational, encouraging students to develop practical language skills while discussing an exciting, universally appealing theme. This lesson aims to build vocabulary, enhance conversational skills, and foster cultural awareness through a variety of activities. The lesson begins with a warm-up activity where students are asked to share their dream travel destinations. This quick introductory discussion not only generates excitement but also encourages students to express personal interests, setting a conversational tone for the class. Following this, the teacher introduces key travel-related vocabulary, such as "itinerary," "landmarks," "budget," and "accommodation." By matching definitions with examples, students reinforce their understanding of these terms in a travel context, providing a foundation for subsequent activities. Next, students participate in a structured group discussion, where they describe a memorable travel experience or a place they aspire to visit. This exercise allows students to apply their newly acquired vocabulary, narrate experiences, and practice descriptive language. The class then transitions to a collaborative role-play activity: students work in small groups to create a travel itinerary for a destination of their choice. Each group selects activities, accommodation types, and budgets, simulating real-life trip planning and promoting teamwork. To diversify the lesson and incorporate listening skills, an optional component involves listening to a travel blog or vlog, where students identify the speaker’s destination, key activities, and cultural highlights. This element enhances comprehension and further immerses students in authentic language use related to travel. The lesson concludes with a brief reflection, allowing students to share their thoughts on the destinations discussed. By blending vocabulary, discussion, role-play, and listening activities, this lesson provides a holistic approach to language learning, equipping students with the linguistic tools and confidence to discuss travel experiences, and cultivating a broader understanding of diverse cultures.
