Teacher’s Words
What made me become a Japanese teacher?
I enjoyed learning English when I was in school, and still do.
I believe you might be able to have more opportunities to make friends you never ever met, if you could speak some other languages.
You might be able to experiences something you never ever done, if you could some other languages. (Unfortunately I gave up Chinese though...too difficult for me!)
I love meeting and talking people too.
I think these are reason why I teach my language.
How would you describe you teaching method?
Talk to me first and tell me how, why you want to learn Japanese. You can tell me what textbook you would like to use. We can make up your own lessons together.
Message
Do not take seriously to learn Japanese!
Good at maths and logic, but consider yourself hopeless at languages? Then try Japanese – I have often found that those people with logical minds who struggled with French or German were ok with Japanese because of its largely logical structure.








Japanese isn't necessarily as hard as you think!
