About

I am a native japanese speaker who learnt Japanese drama script writing in University. I have also completed the Cambridge Academic English program. I have Japanese teaching experience for non-native people between the ages of 9 years old- 26years. My teaching style is friendly and focusing on creating an environment that rewards curiosity. I study English as a second language, I love to teach the language and culture of Japan. I can teach Japanese in English and Japanese, depending on your plan and ability. My lesson offers you the following; - High quality learning materials - Personalised homework and marking - Flexible teaching schedule - Personalised vocabulary / lesson plans What you could learn with me: - Grammar - Japanese alphabets - Conversation practice - Preparation for exams - Kanji reading and writing Level of my lesson I teach Japanese for any level and people. As I graduated from University in Japan, I am able to teach a higher level of Japanese such as essays for high school exams, university entrance exams. I have also experienced teaching kids(primary school and high school student). I use vocabulary cards with cartoon characters and language games for kid's education. This method is also effective for beginner level Japanese leaner to learn vocabulary and to enjoy studying. Textbook I use Genki book, minna no nihongo etc. If you tell me your textbook, I will create a special study plan for you. Length of the class I usually teach one hour × 2 lessons per week. We can discuss the length and frequency of the lesson depending on your plan:) Typical example:1hour for $50/week

Reviews

I’ve just started learning Japanese with Kanako recently but can already say that she is great! She’s very personable and finds a great balance between teaching what I want to learn next while still highlighting the areas that I need to improve on! I started with almost no Japanese but can now confidently start a conversation, thanks Kanako!

Kanako's teaching style made it very easy to jump immediately into understanding the difference in sentence structure as well as some useable vocabulary. I will be booking some more lessons soon!
