Certified Japanese teacher for all ages and levels

Konnichiwa!
I am a native Japanese born in Yokohama, a city neighboring Tokyo, and I currently live in Geneve, Switzerland. I am fluent in both English and Japanese, and I plan to use both languages in my Japanese lessons.

In my lessons, I focus on tailoring the content to each student’s goals and proficiency level. I use structured materials like “Minna no Nihongo” or "Genki" to build a solid foundation, while also including real-life conversation practice to help students learn Japanese they can actually use.

It is challenging to explain grammar to young learners (ages 5 or 6 and above), so I use pictures and realia to conduct lessons. I learned this method through Association of Japanese Language for Children (AJLC) and hold a qualification as a Japanese language instructor for children.

My goal is to create lessons that are fun and motivating, while also helping students see real progress in their Japanese skills! Learning a new language may be tough, but I also know it expands our world. I look forward to embarking on this adventure with everyone who wants to learn Japane.

Extra information

If you would like to have a lesson in the evening or during weekends, just let me know. I need to coordinate with my husband regarding parenting, but I will do my best to make time for the lesson.

About Me

I hold the master’s qualification in Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) from the Sogetsu School, and I enjoy arranging flowers. I still continue practicing Ikebana but I have started teaching it as an assistant teacher at UNWG (United Nations Womens Guild).

I also enjoy planning table settings and cooking. I have a qualification as a Japanese Traditional Event Cuisine Meister, which means I can teach traditional Japanese cuisine and incorporate it into lessons for those interested in Japanese Ikebana or traditional cooking.

I graduated from a college in the U.S., where I studied Chinese because of my love for Chinese food. I am still studying Chinese and can speak basic Chinese. One of my dreams is to live in Taiwan someday and teach Japanese there.

I have two sons, aged 6 and 9. My children love swimming, basketball, soccer, and skiing, so we often go to the pool on weekends and attend matches of the Geneva Lions or Servette football team at the stadium. In winter, we frequently go skiing in the mountains or ice skating. I also love traveling with my family. Since Switzerland is in the heart of Europe, we have traveled to many countries in Europe.

Education

-Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Relations/East Asian Languages and Cultures (doble major), Beloit College, WI, USA in 2003.
-During my time at AOTS, I had the opportunity to receive Japanese language teaching training from the teachers who wrote the textbook "Nihongo no Kiso" (The Basics of Japanese), which became the foundation for the worldwidely-used Japanese textbook "Minna no Nihongo."

Experience / Qualifications

-Completed a 420-hour Training Program for Japanese Language Instructors
-Holder of the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test certification
-Certified as a Japanese Language Teacher for Children through AJLC (Association for Japanese Language Classes for Children).This organization provides various resources and certifications related to teaching Japanese to children, including specialized programs and materials tailored for different age groups and proficiency levels.

I have 7 years of experience working as a program coordinator for trainees from East Asia in an organization called AOTS. In that role, I have taught Japanese corporate culture, Japanese social culture, and the Japanese language.

After resigning from the position, I volunteered for six months teaching Japanese to children of ethnic minority migrants from Myanmar in a village on the Myanmar-Thailand border.

Upon returning to Japan, I taught Japanese language for one year to international students at a Japanese language school in Tokyo, who were aiming to enter Japanese universities.

Later, I took a break from teaching due to the birth of my child and our relocation to Switzerland, focusing entirely on parenting. Now that my younger child is six years old, I have more free time and have decided to resume my career as a Japanese language teacher.
