I have a Bachelor's degree in Japanese and East Asian Studies. While working on my degree, I completed a study program abroad at Nihon University in Tokyo. After graduation I lived and worked in Hokkaido, Japan for 3 years. My job was primarily teaching ESL (English as a Second Language), but I occasionally did some local work as a translator and interpreter. I am currently working towards receiving an N2 certification in the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test).
Homework Offered
I will make and provide worksheets after each class for students to practice the characters they learned. We will go over this homework as a class during the review portion of the following lesson. These worksheets are usually 2-3 pages long.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
A written report is available at the end of the course upon request.Grades Offered
3 files available upon enrollmentStudents will need a pencil and paper (dotted grid or lined grid paper is recommended, but not required). They should ideally have access to a printer as well for the worksheets. If this is not possible, students could work around this by writing down worksheet answers in their notes.
