🎈My name is Yuki. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, and I speak standard Japanese. I absolutely love traveling and trying delicious food! 💕 I often travel both within Japan and abroad. I've been to places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Guam, Hawaii, New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, London, and Paris. I'd love to hear about your city or country! I'm sure I'll become curious about your culture and food, and I might just want to visit your country! 😆 I adore cats 🐈‍⬛ and dogs 🐶 ❤️ I'm friendly and have a bright personality. I can't wait to meet you in our lessons! 🎈【My Lessons】 ★ For beginners Using the textbook "Genki" or other materials, we'll build a solid foundation from the basics! ✨ ★ For intermediate and advanced learners If you have specific themes or topics in mind, we can tailor the lessons to those. If not, we can expand our conversations using news articles, videos, and more. I’ll ask plenty of questions based on the themes I provide, and while you answer, I’ll check for mistakes and suggest more natural ways to express yourself. ★ "Japanese for Travel" is also very welcome! ❤️ Not only will we cover the language, but I'll also share information about traveling in Japan during our lessons. 🎈【Background】 After graduating from university, I worked as an editor. I'm a professional in the Japanese language. For over 20 years, I've been teaching English (mainly basic grammar) to Japanese middle school students. I also have experience teaching math and Japanese language (kokugo). From this experience, I've learned how to teach in a clear way and effective drill methods. I've also learned that if it's not fun, knowledge won't stick! Of course, patience is key too! I want to use these skills to teach you Japanese in our lessons. During my student days, I tutored elementary and middle school students in English and Japanese. For over 20 years, I've been teaching basic English grammar, math, and Japanese language to Japanese middle school students. I also spent about two years as a conversation partner for people from abroad. Japan is a fascinating country where traditional and modern elements coexist. The Japanese language is also quite unique and interesting. I would love to share that fun with you as we learn Japanese together! I'm looking forward to talking about your culture and food as well. Let's explore new knowledge together! I’ll be waiting for you in our lessons!
