Advert description
Native Japanese speaker with a strong, natural command of everyday conversational Japanese, including practical expressions not always taught in textbooks.
Experience supporting non-native speakers: I regularly help international colleagues with Japanese language nuances, pronunciation, and cultural context in a professional setting.
Bilingual communication: Comfortable teaching in English where needed (TOEIC 880 / CEFR B2), which is especially useful for beginners who need explanations in their own language before transitioning into Japanese.
Clear, structured explanation: My background in engineering has trained me to break down complex ideas into simple, logical steps — a skill I apply to explaining grammar patterns and sentence structure.
Patient, encouraging teaching style: Known for creating a comfortable, low-pressure environment that helps learners build confidence in speaking, rather than just focusing on accuracy.
Flexible availability: Able to accommodate different schedules and adapt lesson pacing to each student's goals and proficiency level.
