Hello, my name is Kaori. I am originally from Japan, but have been living in beautiful Istanbul, Turkey for the past 14 years.
When I moved to Turkey, the only Turkish word I knew was “Merhaba”, which means “hello”. But now I can speak Turkish fluently. Turkish people love to communicate with others so it makes my life more fun!
I can also speak Japanese, English, Russian, Turkish sign language and Farsi.
I enjoy traveling, visiting museums, listening to music, playing the guitar and painting. I also love cats so living in Istanbul is great as there are many friendly cats that share the streets and parks with people here.
Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching Japanese at several language schools in Istanbul as well as teaching students privately. I have taught beginner students as well as advanced students who were interested in learning conversation.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lesson we will learn grammar based on a text book called, “Minna no Nihongo”, including hiragana, katakana, and kanji.
However, if you are not interested in reading or writing Japanese, I can also teach using the Latin alphabet.
I will also teach you conversational Japanese and we will practice everyday conversation.
If you are studying towards the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test-JLPT, I can also help you with this.

Kaorisan is great at keeping a tab on her students and moving them along. I learn a lot each lesson and I'm progressing nicely thanks to her. Great lesson as always.

The trial lesson with Kaori-san was a lot of fun! She informed me about the text books that she uses, and she was open to answering any questions with a friendly attitude.
