日本語プライベートマンツーマンレッスン

Want to give your learner personalized and fun Japanese instruction in a supportive environment?

Are you looking for your learners to learn not only vocabulary words but also how to ask and answer questions in Japanese from day one?

My Japanese teaching provides your learner with individualized, engaging Japanese speaking and listening practice. I use original, unique teaching materials created from my private Japanese teaching experience and my Japanese heritage.

Experienced tutoring helps students learn topics such as basic Japanese conversation skills, reading and writing skills in Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji, as well as Japanese grammar clarification, pronunciation, geography, and culture. 

My tutoring style targets students aged between 7 and 18 years old with minimal to some Japanese experience to build a foundation of Japanese knowledge in a fun and patient way.  

I will use a Google Slides presentation to present foundational topics and information and adapt it to your students' ages and interests (for example, singing, props, and movement for younger students vs. reading and additional conversation practice for older students) to help your learners engage with and understand the content differently. I also utilize videos and pictures relevant to Japanese culture and topic sentences to give visual support to the learners. I will also use some Japanese songs to help students expand their interests while practicing Japanese pronunciation in a fun manner. 

I encourage learners to participate regularly nonverbally and verbally at their own pace but aim for ample verbal output throughout each tutoring session. I also prioritize age-appropriate phrases, activities, and songs to help learners feel capable and confident in learning a new language. Finally, I regularly encourage correct pronunciation while still providing ample positive reinforcement.


Materials/ Technology:  It is recommended to have some blank paper and the learner’s favorite writing utensils (Pen, Pencils, Colored pen, etc.) to take notes and practice Japanese writing during the tutoring session. 

Students will see Google Slides and YouTube materials shared on the screen during the class. Depending on the lesson, students may have printable handouts and/or digital Google Jamboard worksheets (no login required) to use during class. I will also send some flashcards/vocabulary lists regularly via Quizlet, Neopod, or Google Docs so that students can continue practicing Japanese at home.

Please note: This class is not a full immersion tutoring class; some English will be used.
