In this culture and history class, I will cover: - Japanese Geography and Islands - Climate - History - Cuisine - Religion (Shinto and Buddhism) - Pop Culture - Housing - Society - Government - Tourist Attractions - Transportation - Jobs - Japanese Rules - Language (not a language class) - Life in Japan I will also finish discussing the topics listed above. If anyone plans to travel to Japan soon, I will also cover helpful travel information. I will teach using a PowerPoint with photos and visuals, videos, and souvenirs/items from Japan that I have. This is mainly a lecture class, but I welcome students to ask questions and make topic requests. If they would like further information, I can provide further notes and materials. I lived in Osaka, Japan for half a year, and traveled extensively around Tokyo, Chiba, Yokohama, Kobe, Kyoto, Mie, and Hyogo. I have also been working and living at a Japanese Women’s University branch campus in America for 5 years as a resident advisor, so I have experience living with Japanese people, and working within a Japanese school and company.

Hello Parents and Students!
My name is Maya and I teach Japanese and Korean language and culture classes here on Outschool.
I have been working as a Japanese teacher since 2018 and have certificates in advanced Japanese and Teaching Second Languages. I have taught over 200 different students and over 800 Japanese classes.
I was also a bilingual advisor and translator at a Japanese university for 5 years and worked extensively providing academic and personal guidance for students in Japanese.
I also taught English and studied in Korea and often travel around Japan, Korea, and the US. I especially love Okinawa and Osaka in Japan and Daejeon and Busan in Korea! Studying and working in Japan and Korea has been one of the best experiences of my life and I love to share more about these two countries with students who are also passionate about East Asia.
My hobbies and interests include anime, manga, K-Pop, drawing, and board games.
Due to my background in second language acquisition in multiple languages and cultures, I understand the best ways to help students learn, and different teaching styles to help all types of learners.
With my background as a student advisor, I am also experienced in helping more challenged students as I want to help all my students learn at their own pace while having fun!
My motto is that “Learning is just another word for fun!” I hope that all my students can find genuine enjoyment and love for Japanese!
I look forward to seeing you in class :)
