Mami

Teacher

Visited

Hi:) Im Mami. Actually I’m a Korean but I was born in Japan and lived there for 19 years. After graduating from university I worked at the Kyocera Korean branch office and did lots of interpretation and translation work. But after I realized I wanted to teach, I quit my job and focused on that. Now, I'm teaching Japanese to Korean and Korean to Japanese as well:) I’m a licensed Korean Instructor:) I like teaching very much, so I have taught Japanese to foreign people more than ten years. I like dancing (especially Korean traditional), singing and sharing my opinions with other people. 

I hope to see you in my class; tell me about yourself - I’m always ready to hear from you!!:) 

A sample sentence in a language I teach:

こんにちは。日本で生まれ育ち、日本語を通してもっとたくさんの方とコミュニケーションしたい真美と申します。私は四人姉妹の長女で、昔から妹達の宿題を手伝ったりしながら、自然と教えることが大好きになりました。現在日本語を、会社やプライベートで教えて10年以上になりました。各言語ごとに、似ている所や全然違う所があると思いますが、言語だけではなく文化も一緒に触れていける授業を通して、学生さん達ともっとコミュニケーションして行きたいと思います。どうぞよろしくお願いいたします🤲

The kind of students I'm looking for:

Open minded and hardworking!!:)

How my background prepares me to teach:

I was born in Japan and have taught Japanese to foreign students for more than ten years:) I took a course to teach Japanese to foreigners online and learned a lot:) I have also been making lots of material for each class:) I can teach Japanese with Japanese culture which makes it easier to understand Japanese:) My students have different backgrounds, like CEOs, office workers, k-pop singers, trainees of entertainment companies, university students, vice presidents of financial supervisory services, sojourning employees, baseball players, etc.

Teaching methods or materials that I typically use during my lessons:

I have teaching experience ranging from a kindergarten child to a 70-year-old retired professor. So I can provide a wide range of materials which will vary depending on the student and what the student wants:)

Is there anything you should have or should do in advance:

For Japanese, it’s better to know how to read and write Hiragana and Katakana:) But it’s not prerequisite.
