    About Shinobu K.

    Hello! KONNICHIWA! I am very happy to hear that you are interested in learning Japanese. I have been teaching Japanese children to adult, beginners to advanced. I had a request to teach Japanese to 3 years old girl last year before she moved to Japan in order to attend to a Japanese kindergarten smoothly. So I thanked her that I learned to teach Japanese from 3 years old. Now I can accept a student from 3 years old to any age. My tutoring is not just teaching Japanese language to a student. I want to teach more than language, such as our culture and traditions. So I add cooking, Origami (folding a paper), Japanese calligraphy, singing, story telling into the lessons. We need "FUN" to learn the second language and I believe it is the best tools for the learning it even adult. I teach both formal and casual in speaking, writing. So you can communicate and exchange conversations or responses with Japanese smoothly because my teaching method is not like a text book at school. If you faced to the wall and struggling, try to change the method to learn Japanese. The text book Japanese at school is good for the test and business, but the proper Japanese is just like the Japanese animation films or movies you want to understand and watch. Moreover, the language is alive, so I add to teach new things including slang which may be not in your text book, to understand recent movies and animation films. I sometime work for a Japanese company in Japan. Currently, I am working with a project for 2020 Tokyo Olympic. If you have any question, please contact me. I am looking forward to seeing you soon. Arigatou. Thank you, Cancel policy: If you need to cancel your lesson, please contact me at least 24 hours before. Please remember if it was less than 24 hours, it is non-refundable.
