About Me
italki teacher since Apr 21, 2022Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesTravelFood
Hi, I’m Etsuko! I’m a native Japanese speaker. I was born and raised in Fukui Prefecture. There is a dinosaur museum nearby. (わたしは、えつこです。恐竜博物館で有名な福井県にすんでいます。）
I have two granddaughters. The older is four years old and very talkative. Watching her learn to speak, I became more interested in the Japanese language. I learned many things that I did not know even though I am Japanese. The Japanese language is very interesting.（４才の孫が話せるようになるのを見ていて、日本語がとても興味深いと思うようになりました。）Me as a Teacher
I was an elementary school teacher for 35 years. I have a lot of experience teaching hiragana, katakana, kanji, and reading Japanese. Depending on your level of Japanese, I can use easy Japanese or speak politely. Furthermore, I have passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test.
I have experience teaching English to third graders and above. In addition to teaching, I am also continuing to learn English. I take online lessons on "italki" and join a local English chatting club.
I know how much fun it is to learn a language. Let me assist you to learn Japanese. Let's have fun learning Japanese. （35年間、小学校の先生でした。子どもたちに、ひらがなや漢字や読み取りなどを教えた経験がたくさんあります。いっしょに楽しく学習しましょう。）My lessons & teaching style
I teach using “Irodori” in the beginner’s class. You don't need to buy the textbook because you can download it from the website. I also show the text in PowerPoint or PDFs, so you don't need to download it to learn. I teach the intermediate level using “Marugoto”. You will need to purchase the textbook.
I can also help you with your JLPT preparation. I will teach you according to the speed and content you want to learn. Let's have fun learning Japanese. I’m looking forward to seeing you in my class.
初級クラスでは、「いろどり」を使って教えます。Web からダウンロードができますし、私がコピーを渡すこともできます。中級クラスでは、「まるごと」などのテキストを使って教えます。購入する必要があります。すでに使っているテキストがある場合は、相談してください。また、JLPT対策や作文添削などもできます。いろいろな Topic について互いに話すこともできます。）My teaching material

Etsuko-sensei explains very clearly everything that is needed for understanding a notion. She uses examples and makes sure that you have understood, and uses very good material for her lessons.
Once again, I would recommend Etsuko-sensei to anyone that wishes to deepen their understanding of Japanese !

I loved my trial lesson with Etsuko. Even as a complete beginner, she was able to get me started with learning Japanese. The lesson was perfect for retention, and she was very encouraging.

Etsuko 先生 always taught very patiently. I like her even I am not talking too much (don't know how to express), she would like to talk and induce me to speak out loud. Excellent teacher for any level would like to learn Japanese. (thumbs up)
