Hi, my name is Yoko and I'm a certified teacherð

ðĪļââãAbout meãðĪļââ
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!!
ðŋI am a native Japanese speaker, born in Japan.
ðŋI have loved Japanese history since I was a child, and I used to read "Manga de yomu nihono rekishi" (History of Japan in Manga).
ðŋ 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.
ðŋI am an active person and I like to travel. I have a long-term study abroad experience in Sydney, Australia.
ðĪļââãTeaching experiencesã ðĪļââ
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.

ðĪļââQualificationðĪļââ
I took 420 hours of training in Australia to become certified as a Japanese language tutor and also passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test .
ðĪļââTeaching styleðĪļââ
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!!

ðEven if you do not speak Japanese at all, you can ask questions in English! Please relax and come to my class without being nervous.
