Hi, my name is Yoko and I am a Japanese teacher in Tokyo.
Would you like to learn to speak fluently about yourself in Japanese?
Let's have fun studying Japanese with a variety of conversation topics with me!
🤸♀〈About me〉🤸♀
I'm a certified Japanese tutor and I have over 10 years experience as a language tutor.
All lessons are for those who want to speak fluently and correctly with confidence!!
🌿I am a native Japanese speaker, born in Japan.
🌿I have loved Japanese history since I was a child, and I used to read "Manga de yomu nihono rekishi" (History of Japan in Manga).
🌿 I love visiting historical sites, castles, temples, and shrines. In university, I studied religion and culture in ancient and medieval Japan and received a Bachelor of Arts degree.
🌿I am an active person and I like to travel. I have a long-term study abroad experience in Sydney, Australia.
🤸♀〈Teaching experiences〉 🤸♀
Currently I am working as a Japanese teacher and an English teacher (for high school students) more than 10 years in Tokyo.
I used to teach English to high school students for college entrance exams at a preparatory school in Japan.
However, as the number of foreign students has increased, I have had more opportunities to teach Japanese. Therefore, I decided to receive formal training as a Japanese language teacher.
I took 420 hours of training in Australia to become certified as a Japanese language tutor and passed Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test last year.

In my class, you will learn the basics of grammar, but at the same time you will learn how Japanese people naturally speak!!
The reason is that Japanese do not always speak in accordance with what you learn from the textbook.
Therefore, many Japanese learners have trouble understanding what native Japanese people are saying because Japanese people often omit words or phrases when they speak.
In addition, Japanese word order is quite flexible, which sometimes makes it confusing for Japanese learners.
In my class, you will get a lot of advice to solve those problems!!
