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!

Kanako is kind, extremely patient and very empathetic. Perfect qualities for a teacher. She leaves you to try and get the words/sentences out before she interjects which is ideal as it makes you really focus on communicating, as you would have to do in a real-life situation.

Kanako is always a delight to learn from. I really enjoy the content and pace of her lessons. It's really fun to absorb and practice what she has taught me. I also appreciate the amazing resources that she provides for everyone including her podcasts and Youtube videos. I am so happy that Kanako is my online tutor!

My weekly language lesson with Kanako-sensei is the highlight of my week!

The time I have spent working with Kanako-sensei has been very productive. She is an exceptional tutor in every regard. She is fun and engaging, but forces me to work between lessons. Kanako-sensei is quick to applaud even small successes and is kind when she needs to provide correction. My Japanese ability has improved considerably since she and I started working together a short time ago; no doubt it will continue to improve at an even greater rate under her wise tutelage. I highly recommend Kanako-sensei to anyone who wishes to learn Japanese rapidly in an encouraging environment.
