We continue to progress through my grammer book. Chito encourages me not to get hung up on gramer when I get stuck.

Chito taught me how to use すごす today and I can't wait to start using it in our conversations.
I’m Chito. I’m a Japanese living in Tokyo. I’ve been working as a licensing specialist and English teacher for a Japanese media group. I have lived in Canada and the U.S. for 10 years. I earned my degrees (BA and MA) in my second language so I can relate to your experience in learning new languages. Let me know what you want to do with Japanese. I offer lessons tailored to your needs, level and interests. Not only advanced students, beginners are also welcome since I can teach in English, if it is helpful.
I am a very open-minded and committed teacher. I believe diversity is important as it can enrich every aspect of our life. I’m willing to learn new things. So tell me about your culture in Japanese when you are ready.
Looking forward to talking to you soon!

Teaching Approach
In the first lesson, I listen to students’ goals, interests, and the reasons they want to learn Japanese. Based on them, I will provide a custom-fitted lessons.
From my own experience of learning foreign languages, I believe that the learning should be fun and enjoyable to obtain better outcomes. Secure and relaxed lesson environment is also critical for students to acquire the language effectively.
I also like to share culture, customs and traditions with students. I do my best to provide my students with effective and enjoyable lessons.
