みなさん、こんにちは！
私の名前はRioです。
日本で生まれ育ちましたが、2003年からアメリカに住んでいます。
アメリカの会社で７年半働いていました。
今はいろいろな国の人たちに日本語を教えています。
趣味は、ピアノ、読書、油絵、旅行です。
一緒に楽しく日本語を勉強しましょう。
お会いできるのをとても楽しみにしています。♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪Me as a Teacher
Take action! Learn Japanese!
I’m a very patient, encouraging, and dedicated licensed teacher from Japan living in the US for 20 years. I also completed the 420 Hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course. I dearly hope to help students at all levels become masters of the Japanese language for both personal and professional reasons.
Speaking a new language can be challenging and sometimes frustrating since many of us are shy about trying and are worried about making mistakes. I will help you get comfortable with speaking Japanese in a relaxed environment and make learning fun and enjoyable!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to your individual needs. We can follow a text book to focus on grammar and testable subjects, or we can use real life materials such as world news, movies, anime, cultures, or any topic that you prefer to enhance your communication skills in Japanese through active conversation.
In each lesson, I focus primarily on making YOU speak while I teach new vocabulary and grammar points and boost your listening and reading skills if necessary.
I definitely value your time. I try to make every lesson productive and worthwhile!
Come and join me in class, and let’s make Japanese a part of your life. ᕦ(ò ᴗ óˇ)ᕤMy teaching material

Since learning from Rio-san, my Japanese improve a lot. I love the way she explained things so that it becomes so easy to understand. Study with her will always keep your interest up to learn more and more. Looking forward the next lesson.
