My name is Mari. I was born and raised in Osaka. If you like visiting Osaka, I have a lot of recommendations ready for you! I am happy to help you with Standard Japanese or Kansai-ben (or both). I was a public school teacher who relocated to Hong Kong three years ago. If you are looking for a highly qualified, passionate teacher who can help you achieve your learning goals, contact me! よろしくおねがいします(yo ro shi ku o ne ga i shi ma su)
Here are my qualifications:
・Masters in Applied Linguistics (the science of langauge learning), The Chinese University of Hong Kong
・Secondary school teaching license for English (Japan)
・IELTS Composite Score: 8.0
Here is my teaching experience (8 years in total):
・HKU SPACE
Beginner to intermediate Japanese language university courses
・Private Tutoring in HK
Bespoke lessons based on students’ needs and interests (N5-N1)
・Secondary schools in Osaka
Worked as a civil servant teaching English at public high schools
Absolutely easier than in other places such as the UK or Europe.
Native Cantonese/Mandarin speakers have a massive advantage with vocabulary. Also, when budget and time allows, it is a quick flight to Japan, where you can try out what you have learned in class. Japanese grammar can be pretty challenging, but I am here to help you with that!
Input and output!
The two-pronged, universal principle for language learning is abundant, comprehensible input and sufficient opportunity for teacher-monitored output. I can introduce you to plenty of resources for input, and I can guarantee that you will have the maximum opportunity to speak Japanese in my class, with helpful feedback that allows you to improve quickly.
