I love Japanese cultures and food.

Me as a Teacher
I am friendly and honest teacher, always do my best to help you!
I am passionate about helping students to understand complicated topics by making them simple, or to distinguish similar meaning words by giving detailed explanations.
It's one of fun part of teaching Japanese for me.
My lesson is focusing on NATURAL DAILY CONVERSATION ( not for tests, but I can help if you share your study materials).
I’m NOT certificated teacher and not fluent in English, so I might not be the best one to answer your grammatical questions sometimes especially for beginners.
Of course I try my best finding answers and get it back to you as soon as possible ;-)
My lessons & teaching style
Beginner : Practicing to make basic sentences. Aim to be able to communicate.

Kanako is an excellent teacher. She's very friendly, so it's easy for a student to feel comfortable talking with her. She provides useful suggestions about grammatical mistakes and better word choices. Also, she writes a lot of phrases down so the student can review them later.

Great lesson. Kanako always does a great job adjusting to your level, teaching you lots of new words without overwhelming you.
