Hi, there! Olá!  I'm Saki.

I'm a native Japanese speaker from Okayama-ken, Japan. 

Currently I live in Brazil. I speak Japanese, English (intermediate) and Portuguese (intermediate).  

Working as Japanese teacher over 7 years online and offline, I have experience of teaching Japanese for students of various age (3-80 years-old) and level from all over the world who have different objectives to learn Japanese. Not only in language school or online platform, I also helped foreign kids who live in Japan to learn Japanese at elementary school in Japan.

I always try to make the best lesson for each student. I customize lessons and adjust speaking speed and homework. And not only I teach Japanese language, but also Japanese culture too! 

In all lessons (except lesson for kids) includes a note for new grammar/vocabulary or mistakes, short feedback / comment (would be small reading exercise) and quick review of previous lesson at the beginning or end of the lesson. I share all of them with you on Google document.Here is specific lesson type, but of course, we can talk about our lesson plan!

Here are specific lesson types.

Hello! My name is Nami. I am a Japanese native speaker. 

• I started to teach Japanese 16 years ago.
• I worked as a Japanese teacher at a language school.
• I've taught Japanese in group and private lessons.
• I’ve taught more than 4000 lessons online.

Trial lesson

• I will use presentation slides to explain how we learn Japanese.
• Self-introduction in Japanese. (If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry! I will show you step-by-step.)
• I will suggest a customized lesson plan for you. Let's make your desired lesson plan together!

Beginners

• If you haven't learned them yet, we will start with Japanese characters Hiragana and Katakana. Knowing Japanese characters will help you pronounce each word correctly and understand the grammar easily.
• We will use textbooks and workbooks, which are well structured and based on conversational Japanese. I will provide you PDF files of the textbook and other documents. My lessons cover all Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. The textbook has a lot of exercises so you can practice grammar in different situations. We will also have a conversation using the grammar we learned in the previous lessons.
• If you already know some Japanese, let me know your Japanese level and learning experience, then we can decide where to start.

Conversation

• Let’s practice Japanese in your desired speech style.

I am looking forward to seeing you!

-----------------------------------📌Things I want to tell you📌-----------------------------------

I know how difficult it is to learn foreign languages because I spent tons of time acquiring English and Spanish.

I believe, from my experiences, that learning foreign languages is like a "long journey".

It's impossible to arrive at the destination the next day but we know we can arrive there someday unless we stop moving forward💪

Let's pleased with our small progress than big progress🙌
 

I look forward to joining your journey!

 I have about 800 lessons of experience teaching online with students in various countries as Japanese tutor. I am certified by The World Japanese Language Centre for the 420 hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course.  Because of my experience and good knowledge of Japanese business environment, I know how to communicate with Japanese people in the business scene and how to respond.  I also teach children from very young age. I customize lessons depending on the student and their aim, goals and personality etc.  I was born in Japan and raised in Tokyo. I experienced living in Kyushuu, and Okayama, too, as my father moved there to work. Every time I made friends, I had to say ''Kon-nichiwa'' and ''Sayoonara''. A bit sad but it was great to see new friends. I live in the UK now. As I mentioned, I am teaching Japanese after my work experience of Japanese companies. It has been a great experience working there with great people. This helps a lot to teach my students who are thinking to live in Japan and work for Japanese companies. 

Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting my profile page :)　

Are you interested in Japanese Culture? Would you like to start learning a new language? Let's get started!!

【About myself】

I have lived in Canada for about 10 years and I have taught Japanese as a private tutor for about 9 years. It's been a pleasure to meet people from all over the world, study Japanese together, and share Japanese culture.   

【How do we study?】

I use a method called "Active learning". You need to study and prepare before the lesson in order to be involved in the learning process actively. In that way, you can learn the language effectively. I have been learning English for over 15 years, and all I can say is the key to success is repetition and being continuous!

【Would it be possible to speak Japanese fluently?】

Many people ask me how long will it take to speak Japanese fluently. My answer is it depends on you. If you engage with Japanese more time every day, you will acquire it faster. There are many ways to engage with your learning language. It might be like watching your favorite Japanese shows or writing a diary every day in Japanese, and so on.  Find a fun way to learn Japanese with me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I accept all levels of students so if you're a beginner, I will teach you from your level of comfort. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at the trial lesson!

If you would like to learn Japanese with lots of fun, I am right here!

Free conversation/ Reading training/ Pronunciation check/ Writing practice/ Using Minna-no-Nihongo or other textbook for studying grammar.

I have a teacher's license for middle and high school social studies in Japan. Professional Japanese tutor with over 1000 hours of experience teaching online. I also speak English we could do lessons with English if you would like to.

Please book a trial lesson first. I look forward to seeing you in the class!
