Online class with a Japanese instructor in Yokosuka base!

Are you interested in learning basic Japanese? Survival Japanese skills make you easy to explore Japan. Let's enjoy your special moments in Japan as much as possible communicating with local people!🤗🤗

I have been teaching Japanese for 10 years in all over the world. I know your needs, and we can reach your goal as fast as possible!!
My students sometimes describe me as a patient teacher. But it's not technically true. I am just aware that impatience doesn't help my student study😊

[Teaching experience]
I majored Japanese Education for foreign learners in Kyoto University of foreign studies.
My teaching experience started from an internship in an University in the Netherland. After my graduation, I taught Japanese at a language school in Vietnam and in an University in Costa Rica as a professor. Lately I was a Japanese instructor for the U.S. Navy in Japan.
As you see, I like to travel and to meet new people from all over the world. That's why I love my job!!🤗 I would love to know your country through this opportunity!

[Lesson type]
These are the lesson types I can provide. You don't need to choose one at this moment, and we can combinate them as needed.
A: Textbook based
A lesson based on a textbook. You can preview/review at your own pace. We will focus on oral practices, checking pronunciation and applying the grammar points into a real life situation (advanced practice).
☆Managing your schedules by google spread sheet is also available. If you want me to assign what to do weekly, please take advantage of it🤩 Of course it will be customized only for you. It would be useful and efficient for your rocket study. This is optional, so if you are not willing to use this system, there is no problem!!

B: Open conversation
We can talk naturally and find a topic / new grammar / new vocabulary in a lesson. You can also bring a topic to talk / discuss about.

C: Special lesson
A lesson based on a specific topic you want to work on. For example, to prepare your presentation in Japanese, to write your CV/resume in Japanese or intensive listening / writing / Kanji practice etc.

[About Textbooks]
I will ask your goals of the study before the trial lesson. During the trial lesson we can discuss the best way to get to your goals. Beforehand you can refer to my basic ideas about the textbooks.

A. You have your own textbook(s)
I am familiar with many textbooks. If you have your own textbook already and if you are willing to use it, let's use it.

B. You don't have textbooks and you are going to buy some new one for your study
I recommend Japanese for Busy People (4th edition) for the most of English speakers.
You can choose Kana (Japanese alphabet) version if learning Japanese alphabets is included in your study goals.
You can choose Romanized version if you want to focus on speaking or conversations.

C. You are not thinking of using a book at this moment. You want to know basic phrases for your upcoming/future travel to Japan
I coordinate the class using my original materials. My expert is "Survival Japanese". I know all of the essential expressions to survive in Japan ;) After finishing these basic sentences, we can talk about another material for the upcoming lessons.

D. You are not thinking of using a book at this moment. You have something you want to talk or practice
Of course we can do conversational class as well. I have had many students with this style. We can talk about many topics or what you want to practice more.
For example, one student has been practicing a martial arts, his goals is to deepen the idea of the martial arts and prepare the next visit to Japan. We talk about the history or culture behind with some phrases in Japanese.
Another example is with an advanced student who was looking for some effective practice for improving his listening skill. With several tries and small changes, we have managed the class successfully to suit his purpose.

Just I want you to know that we can coordinate our class as you want and we can change the plan if needed. I am super supportive to your success, let's do it together!🥰

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me anything!
I am so excited to see you soon😍🔅

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Relaxed Chats in English with Ryan the Australian/South African - Improve Your Confidence in English
The purpose of our chats/classes is to increase your comfort and confidence with speaking English. Learning any language takes dedication and persistence, but I will help make it easier for you. The more you hear English spoken, and the more you try to speak it, the faster you will recognise the sounds, and the more confidence you will gain. It starts with feeling totally comfortable to try, and to make mistakes. And that's where I can help. ABOUT ME My family tree has its roots in England. I grew up in Mandela's beautiful South Africa. I later spent 9 years "Down Under" in Dronning Mary's magnificent Australia. Then marriage brought me to the lovely Kingdom of Denmark :-) I'm not a trained English teacher, however: - I scored 8.5 (Expert) on the IELTS test - I love to teach and explain - I'm super-patient and caring - My accent is easy to understand Let's have some relaxed and interesting chats to improve your English fluency and pronunciation :-) I'll be happy to share stories from living all around the world, and hearing about your life. LGBT friendly. MY APPROACH I know what it's like to learn a new language and I know just how scary it can be to open your mouth to try and speak it. I will provide a safe space, free of criticism or embarrassment, to help you overcome your fears of learning this VITAL world language. The English language can really be your passport to the world :-) The time it takes to learn English is different for different people, but the statistics show that the more you hear the language and the sooner you start speaking it - even if it's slow and difficult at first - the faster you will learn. My job is not to explain complex rules and grammar to you. You can learn those online or in a school. I'm here to get you speaking and listening, so that you train your ears and your mouth in English. And over time, bit by bit, I will also help you to speak more accurately. Luckily for you, because English is spoken so widely, native English speakers are quite used to hearing English spoken incorrectly. So there's really no need to stress too much about your little errors in grammar or pronunciation. Let's just get you speaking! :-)
