I am native Japanese speaker. I am from Tokyo, Japan. I had taught Japanese to people who need to use for their business about two years. I also have some experience teaching to people who like Japanese culture. I can teach writing, reading, conversation, and some tips of Japanese manner and culture. I helped translate some Japanese documents to English.

Japanese is one of my top subjects! I have studied Japanese for five years, graduating with a minor at Winona State University. I have traveled to Japan twice: once for a two-week travel study in Tokyo in May 2012, and then I returned to Tokyo for a study abroad in 2013. While abroad, I spent a lot of time learning the Japanese language inside out, using it as much as possible wherever I could and writing down notes such as new vocabulary, grammar points, and cultural habits that were unfamiliar to me. Furthermore, I attended class for the most advanced foreign Japanese speakers at Toyo University, and was selected to write and perform a formal speech in Japanese on behalf of my peers. These days, I regularly study my Japanese materials and assist students at WSU who are studying the language. I also have lots of contacts from Japan with whom I frequently practice Japanese.

I am a passionate and outgoing individual. I love making connections with people and helping them learn in a way that's fun and interactive. I expect students to be focused on the material they are learning, but I will also find ways to make the learning experience relatable and enjoyable. One of the ways I plan to accomplish this is by sharing my experiences while abroad in Tokyo. Based on real-world situations, the students will be expected to practice speaking and writing in Japanese. I typically have materials prepared beforehand, and depending on the student's needs or desires, I can plan something to accomodate them. I am very flexible and willing to help. I have a lot of patience and understanding. I am also encouraging and find ways to help students in areas where they struggle.
I have always been interested in Japanese language and culture since I was in middle school. I e ... read more

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

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.
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.
