📖 I believe that listening and reading the language aloud repeatedly is a key to boost our language skills. Do you agree with that?My lessons & teaching style
🌟 I will teach in English for beginners' class and in Japanese for intermediate and upper class, but it flexibly changes depending on the learner's level.
🏫 I will use many Power Point slides that has various images and audio files from Japanese textbooks できる日本語.
👉 In class using 'できる日本語初級・初中級' I will lead you to guess what the characters in the pictures are likely to say using what you have already learnt. After which, you will listen to a dialogue of what the characters actually conversed. At the first listening, you will listen to the dialogue without the script so you can examine how much and which part you can understand, before you practise listening & speaking.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2013 - 2014
Japanese TeacherI have been teaching the Japanese language and culture to students of every grade of the Japanese department. Having worked there for a year, I have learnt a lot of various important tips of teaching. One of them is how we teachers stimulate learners so that they can keep on motivated to study. To be specific, at any time during my class, I made a point of catching students’ attention, by sometimes asking them simple questions or joking so that they can relax, for example.

今回の授業も良かったです。そして、最後の文章はハッピーエンドで本当に良かったです。前の「人生の終わり」の話の内容も良かったですけれども、「死」と関係があって、なんだか少し悲しくて、さびしかったです。
って、私は、家族や友達や親戚が幸せになれるなら、熟年結婚を応援します。

Yoshihiro is awesome and has many different strategies to teach you. I couldn’t suggest his class enough. It’s an excellent balance of grammar and conversation practice. He is patient and very focused on what your trying to achieve. It’s also a huge help he’s bilingual. If you are diligent in your studies this class will keep you motivated. Please take his class, take the initiative and learn Japanese with Yoshihiro.

できる日本語の第六課を勉強しました。楽しかたですね!
「できる日本語」の教科書は、たくさん写真がありますから、好きです。「できる日本語」は「げんき」より面白いですよ。
Yoshi-sensei’s 「できる日本語」classes work well for me because I’m a visual learner. He encourages me to first guess what the characters in the pics are likely to say using what I already learned. After which, we will listen to a dialogue about what the characters actually conversed.
Sensei is great at explaining the nuances of similar words/grammar by illustrating how Japanese culture plays a part, giving example sentences and the appropriate situations to use each word.
Thank you for giving me homework after every lesson. It really helps to reinforce I have learned in class.

In tonight’s lesson, sensei reviewed my grammar. I’ve read about them but didn’t really know in-depth. I gained a deeper knowledge on how to use them through sensei’s explanations and examples. Thank you sensei. 🙏

Had my first lesson with Yoshihiro sensei, it was much tougher than expected, listening and speaking are very tough for me. Luckily sensei is very good in English and I think it’s a good start. Sensei is very patient and accommodating and I like his teaching style.
