My comments on tutoring Japanese : I am a native Japanese speaker. I graduated from a Japanese junior college with an English major. I have lived in the U.S. for 13 years. I am married to a native English speaker and have two children who speak both English and Japanese. I love teaching kids and families who are interested in traveling to Japan for pleasure or business.

Basic vocabulary, grammar and conversational Japanese.
I have taught conversational Japanese for the past ten years, and I really enjoy it. For adults I have been using the text book called "Genki: An Integrated Course In Elementary Japanese". I am not certified to teach Japanese but I have experience teaching students who are just beginners and helping them become better speakers of Japanese. My focus is on teaching basic Japanese language and culture to students of all levels of ability, beginner to advanced. I focus on basic grammar, vocabulary and daily conversation. My class is most useful for people who have an interest in learning some Japanese for fun, to prepare for travel to Japan, or for business. Learning Japanese should be fun so I do my best to make it enjoyable.

Teaching style is flexible, but I generally understand students level and take in what or how they need to learn.
Have taught Japanese @ Concordia Language Villages for 2+ summers. Have taught formal and informal lessons in both japanese and english. I have studied Japanese myself for 10 years, am told by native speakers I do not have any accent, and I take pride in what I have learned so far. Being a native English speaker, I feel I am better able to explain things to beginner to intermediate learners as well as supplementing Japanese-learning experience that I can directly relate to, having been through the exact same process.

Japanese is one of my top subjects! Certified level 2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

I have more than 3 years of experience living in Japan including two and a half years teaching English. I have also been tutoring Japanese since I was a college student and studying the language for over eight years. I am familiar with standardized tests in both languages such as the JLPT and the TOEFL/TOEIC. I am also currently volunteering and working towards a Minnesota state teaching license and a Master's degree in Education.
Casual go-at-your-own-pace, or intensive study. I can help you prepare for a standardized test like the JLPT, a school placement exam or a trip to Japan. I have good knowledge of high school and college Japanese curriculums so I can help you as move through a corse, or help you skip ahead a year.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching, working with, and learning with children. Children have different learning styles and temperaments and I try to adapt my teaching to these differences. I am creative, patient, and enthusiastic. I firmly believe that children can learn more when there is support or scaffolding from good educators such as myself. I am also sensitive to cultural differences in learning. All children can learn and develop if provided with the right environment, experiences, and social interactions. My goal is to make learning fun and to encourage children's natural sense of curiosity and wonder.
I am a life-long learner and have two master's degrees, one from Harvard. Because of my deep interest in how children learn, I also have a degree in child development. As a teacher's aide in a public school kindergarten, I spent five years tutoring children in reading, writing, math, scie ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to interact with people from different backgrounds from children to adults. My experience in Japan as a teacher at three public secondary school was extremely challenging but also exciting and rewarding. I am very friendly, patient and considerate. I emphasize the value of integrity and respect different cultures and people's background. As I believe the culture and society are strongly attached to the language acquisition,I would like to teach the culture of Japan as well to support the language acquisition.
I am a bilingual speaker of Japanese and English. For the past seven years I have been employed as an English High School teacher in Tokyo, grades seven through nine, and I have found this experience to be not only challenging and exciting, but also extremely rewarding. Since I have relocated here in Minnesota permanently, I am now teaching my native language Japanese. ... read more

I began tutoring my peers while earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in English, philosophy, and writing. Following my graduation in 2000, I continued teaching in a professional capacity, working abroad in Thailand and Japan, teaching non-native English speakers of various ages (approximately 4-65 years of age). I was responsible for curriculum and lesson planning, evaluating student compositions, and conducting examinations. Upon returning to America, I pursued and obtained my Master of Social Work degree in 2007.
I feel every learner has the capacity to succeed if empowered with knowledge and a belief in his or her abilities. Recognizing and building upon a learner's strengths and utilizing his or her assets creates a foundation for continued learning and excitement about education. I am a creative and energetic teacher and my teaching and tutoring methodology involves relationship ... read more
