About Me
italki teacher since Mar 7, 2017Me as a Teacher
-I've been teaching and translating professionally in many countries for over 10 years. Besides teaching language, I used to teach Aikido (a japanese martial art) in Tokyo.
-Since I grew up in both cultures, I'm pretty confident I can explain Japanese, from a native English perspective and vice versa. I often hear that people can't explain Japanese in English, b/c of their lack of English. My lessons & teaching style
-Beginners are welcome!
-I feel the best way to learn a language is "repetition". It doesn't matter if you had good grades in school or not. If you are motivated and are willing to put some time in, then you are way ahead.
Thru using an established textbook, I can help you slowly gain confidence in a language by using a variety of activities, drills, dialogues, etc. I also assign my students homework every time, which definitely helps reinforce what is being learned.
If you'd like to ask me any sort of questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! I love to hear from new people. I look forward to speaking with you soon.:)My teaching material

There's very few people with a native-level proficiency in both English and Japanese. For students fluent in European-languages, Yanagihara-sensei's command of both English and Japanese is invaluable.
Not only that, but his supportive teaching style ensures you do not feel inadequate even when making mistakes. So even if you lack confidence in your speaking abilities, Yanagihara-sensei will make it much more easier for you to try them out.
