About Me
italki teacher since Sep 30, 2020
InterestsScience
Hi, my name is Mariko. I am from Chiba which is near Tokyo where I studied for my science degree and worked.
I have a great passion for health, which led me to Australia where I also studied and worked. I understand how it feels to learn a second language as this was a requirement for me in order to live/study/work in Australia. My experience in learning a second language has given me a passion to teach Japanese to people who seek to learn.
Me as a Teacher
I completed a Japanese teaching course in 2019, and I have been teaching Japanese online privately. My goal for my students is to make the lesson fun and relevant. In my lessons, please do not be afraid of making mistakes. Instead, we will focus on “communication” and have fun. Let’s enjoy the learning experience together. I am here for you to support your journey of Japanese.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, YOU will decide how fast you progress the course. I will alter my teaching style and give you a guide depending on your goals.
1. I have a structured course using my PowerPoint slides and textbooks (Genki), which are suitable for beginners and for those who have basic Japanese skills but want to refresh their knowledge. You will be given PDF files and some tools to remember new vocabulary when necessary. If you like, I will give you homework as well.
2. The second course is for a conversational practice where you and I practice what you have learned during the course. Throughout the lesson, you will receive guidance and tips in pronunciation and application for daily use.

Mariko 先生 is a great teacher. I keep on making headway with her classes as usual. Her classes are dynamic, enjoyable and focused on the student's learning process. I feel lucky and happy to continue learning with her.
