    About me

    Translated

    Show original

    Hello! I'm Gen, your Japanese tutor 😊

    I'm half Japanese and half French, currently living in New Zealand! 🇳🇿

    (Next year, I'm planning to stay in Australia for a year! 🇦🇺)


    📚 Over 3 years of teaching experience

    I absolutely love teaching languages!

    I've volunteered as a language teacher in schools and taught Japanese to friends abroad!


    🗣 I can help with everything from daily conversation to test preparation.

    Having taken many English tests myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language and the most effective ways to do it!

    That's why I focus on making lessons clear, enjoyable, and sustainable!


    ✨ Features of My Lessons ✨

    ⭐️ I create a personalized learning roadmap just for you, ensuring our classes are efficient and fun!

    ⭐️ Lessons that incorporate your favorite hobbies like anime, games, and travel!

    ⭐️ I teach real Japanese, from business language to keigo (respectful language), casual speech, and slang!

    ⭐️ Lessons that prioritize consistency, making steady progress step by step.

    ⭐️ Efficient learning using the best materials, GENKI!

    ⭐️ I'm great at teaching everyone from complete beginners who only know "konnichiwa" to intermediate learners who are already studying Japanese! 👍


    I also love learning about Japanese culture and am always studying it! So, I enjoy teaching about Japanese culture too! 🥰

    Do you know how samurai raise their children?

    If you're curious, feel free to ask me in class! 🧐


    💬 Questions are welcome 24/7

    Don't hesitate to ask anything you don't understand! 👍


    A little about me 🧑‍🏫

    🎮 Anime / Games / Travel lover

    I love Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, One Piece, and Demon Slayer.

    I've been playing The Legend of Zelda since Ocarina of Time!

    Countries I've visited👇

    🇹🇼🇮🇩🇨🇦🇺🇸🇰🇭🇻🇳🇹🇭🇦🇺🇳🇿

    I might travel to your country next! 🤩

    I also enjoy basketball and yoga, doing them every day!

    What are your hobbies?


    "I want to learn in a way that feels like talking with friends."

    "I want to speak fluently and comfortably."

    "I don't know where to start learning."


    Whether you're a complete beginner or at an intermediate level, you're very welcome! 🎉😊


    Let's nurture your Japanese together, keeping your hobbies, goals, and pace in mind! 🔥


    I truly look forward to seeing you in class! 🌸


    I have over 3 years of teaching experience 📚


    Since I was around 15, I've worked as a tutor and taught Japanese to friends and international students!

    Through these experiences, I've learned efficient and practical learning methods.


    I mainly conduct classes in Japanese, but I can explain fluently in English when necessary, so feel free to ask questions!


    I focus on clear explanations and natural communication, ensuring that learning is enjoyable and relaxed! 😊


    Let's learn Japanese in a fun way!

    While discussing anime and Japanese culture, you'll learn slang and natural Japanese expressions in a relaxed atmosphere.

    I also create roadmaps for achieving individual goals, so you can learn step by step with confidence and efficiency!

      I started learning Japanese for fun and I plan to take a trip to Japan one day! Gen is amazing and it's always a good time! Learning is super fun and he goes at just the right pace! Anime is also a favorite of mine and he incorporates it into our lessons! I'm super excited to continue my journey!
