Teaching Approach:

Develop ‘inter-cultural communication skills’

I will help you understand Japanese culture from the native perspective. By absorbing the Japanese mind set, you will begin to perceive, process, and express yourself in an authentic Japanese way. In the lessons, we will explore the speech and body language of native Japanese speakers - this will increase your awareness of the feelings that lie behind Japanese expressions. By following this approach, you will use a more appropriate grammatical structure and word usage, allowing you to speak Japanese more naturally.

Bespoke lesson planning

In my lessons, I will create a lively atmosphere that will keep you engaged with your speaking oriented learning. Your lesson plans will be structured to your personal needs. I will take you through real life situations that are relevant to your learning goals, explaining how you should interact with native Japanese speakers in various situations. I will recommend the most relevant textbooks if you choose to use them in your bespoke lesson plan.
