Because this is a 1 on 1 course, these classes are suited for students with or without prior knowledge of Japanese. Class curriculum can be tailored to a student's individual skill level, so please contact me before classes begin so that I can understand how to best plan my lessons for your needs! 

Due to reasons described above, it is difficult to provide a detailed week by week curriculum outright without first knowing what level of Japanese students have been exposed to. Lessons will primarily be presented in PowerPoint format. The beginning of each class is usually spent reviewing characters, vocabulary, and worksheets (if applicable). Next, we learn and practice a new set of characters using learning exercises and flashcards. Finally, we apply what we've learned to activities such as information-gap games and mini-writing projects.

Because this is part of a conversation-based language course, classes will be interactive by nature. Students will be expected to speak in class when prompted. This helps me properly assess what they have learned and give them tips for improvement. I try to vary speaking and using the chatbox in my classes so that students do not feel like they are being put on the spot all the time. However, if your child feels uncomfortable unmuting themselves in class for short periods of time, this language series is probably not the right fit for them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
