Hello!! my name is Kaji! I studied linguistics education as my masters course and I’ve attained several teaching licenses not only with regards to linguistics but also in science subjects, which I think is unique in Japan lol 😁 I’ve recently gotten into studying Traditional Chinese Medicine because of my curiosity in the scientific aspects of things haha. But I digress! My main priority is to customize and optimize lessons just for you! It is paramount for us to get to know each other very well when it comes to making lesson that are proactive, meaningful, and enjoyable! So tell me! what aspects would you like to improve in? 🙂 【My plans and direction regarding our lessons (and for the learner)】 I sincerely welcome all levels from beginner and advanced !👍 I teach Japanese via both Japanese and English in my lessons (I hope to incorporate Chinese in the future too!). ※ “I don’t have confidence in my Japanese, but I want to challenge receiving lesson in Japanese🔥” This is a great spirit 💪 that I welcome! yeah, of course, I am open to conducting lesson in Japanese. no worries, I am an easy-going teacher. please do not hesitate to ask “can you say that one more time” until you understand my words. And please don’t pretend to understand if you don’t, okay? :) ※“ I am afraid my english is not good enough to attend the lessons 😥” No worries! I use only easy English terms and avoid perplex phrases. please relax and tell me “I did not catch your words” if you happen to miss what I said. I will then slowdown and articulate my words more carefully or paraphrase for each time! 😄 In my lessons, I use a real whiteboard or a web whiteboard (shared by my screen) and will concurrently go through the learning materials together with you. After each lesson I will give each of you as much feedback as I possibly can. Speaking of which... what do you think of learning Japanese through manga or movies? or how about learning Japanese through songs or lyrics? singing and learning can be a great way to learn too 🎶 【Experiences】 Working for a university and teaching Japanese to exchange students (both beginners and advanced level) for 4 years. Working for public junior high school and teaching not only Japanese as the national language, but also English and science classes for 1 year. 【Lesson’s concepts】 Speaking Practice (daily conversation): If you would like to find a place where you can speak as much as possible, you have found the right place! We can talk about anything. You will be able to speak Japanese more naturally while having fun. Speaking Practice (travel Japanese): If you want to learn useful Japanese especially for travel. This will be helpful for you. What are you going to do in Japan? I will share many wonderful phrases and tips to make your trip more enjoyable. Well, are you interested in Japanese dialects? If so, take a look at them! Business Japanese: Let's learn business Japanese with an emphasis on accuracy and precision, and review when it is appropriate to use polite Japanese (丁寧語), respectful Japanese (尊敬語) and humble Japanese (謙譲語). I will also introduce vocabulary that makes you sound smart. This is important in formal situations! Academic Japanese: This is for learners who are thinking of studying a major at a Japanese academy. The academic disciplines I can cover are linguistics, education, physiology, Japanese history, nutrition, astronomy, and general chemistry. We can look up special terms and accumulate knowledge in these academic disciplines (I am sorry that I am not familiar with other subjects, but I am currently focusing on information technology research as well). Japanese grammar and syntax: I will use exercise books for teaching Japanese logic, or I will explain if you bring a question sheet to the class. 【My hobby】 Traveling overseas : I have traveled to Hong Kong🇭🇰, Taiwan🇹🇼, South Korea🇰🇷, Vietnam🇻🇳, Thailand🇹🇭, Malaysia🇲🇾, Singapore🇸🇬, Indonesia🇮🇩, the Philippines🇵🇭, Turkey🇹🇷, Russia🇷🇺, Canada🇨🇦, The US🇺🇸, Mexico🇲🇽, Australia🇦🇺, Germany🇩🇪, Austria🇦🇹, Hungary🇭🇺, the Czech Republic🇨🇿, and Slovakia🇸🇰. Cooking : especially Making Pasta and sweets. Sport : I like to play baseball, darts, and billiards! I am willing to receive requests from all of you. If you hope to receive any assignment for each lesson, I could also provide. I describe myself as a laid-back teacher and I always try to make lessons chill vibes because I would like you to relax and feel comfortable. All right! Thank you for reading this to the end 😄
