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 sensei was highly personable and patient. Without speeding into things, she got a firm grasp of my skill level and followed by developing a precise lesson plan. She speaks Japanese with a clear and steady tongue allowing for me to be able to practice conversations without ever getting too lost. She took materials I've been using to learn Japanese so she could understand what exactly I've learned, and also provided useful alternatives.

Kanako-Sensei is an amazing teacher, after just a couple lessons I already find myself learning new things and retaining the lessons quicker than I could have imagined. She is great at identifying the pace I'm learning at and suggests homework assignments accordingly. She is patient and supportive when we are practicing conversations which makes her very easy to talk to. I cannot recommend her enough!

I am extremely happy with Kanako, always very gentle, professional, flexible and willing to reply to my thousands questions. I am learning Japanese for general culture reasons and Kanako is always able to meet my curiosity about not only language but also culture and traditions of Japan. Couldn't ask better.

After starting my lessons with Kanako Sensei, I felt a noticeable improvement in my speaking and writing skills. It is very easy to start speaking with Kanako Sensei since she always suggests interesting topics, corrects one's mistakes and is open, friendly and encouraging. While practicing speaking skills I also learned many things about Japan and its culture. For homework I write texts that Kanako Sensei corrects, explaining the contextual use of some words and new grammar points on specific examples.
