À propos de moi
Hi I'm Sayoko! 😊Calm, patient and friendly certified tutor with 8 years of experience 🎓 Fluent in English 💛I love teaching beginners!!🌍 I've lived in U.K., U.S.A., and Australia😊I mainly use Genki textbook. 🗾 Born in Tokyo, speak standard accent.🧳 25 years of experience as a translator of children’s book from English to Japanese.👨🏻🎓 Completed 420-hour Japanese teacher training course😊 Taught over 2000 online lessons ( at Verbling, Preply and other platforms )
For beginners:
I teach Hiragana and Katakana using Padlet, PDFs, PowerPoint, and Flashcards. After that, we move on to the Genki textbook to study sentence structure and grammar. I often use audio resources to help you get used to natural speaking speed and intonation. I also use the Shadowing method.
*Shadowing is a practice method in which a person listens to the audio and follows immediately what s/he hears, like a ‘shadow’ as faithfully as possible by voicing it. Unlike repeating exercises where a person listen to the audio and repeats it as at his/her own pace.
My hobby:
・Learning languages (English and Korean): I know how difficult and how fun it is, so I understand your feeling!!
・Karaoke: I just love it!! Recently Japanese city pops are so popular in the world. If you want to know the lyrics I will help you.
・Traveling : it exposes me to different values and widens my horizons.
I am a passionate and friendly teacher. I love to interact with students and see their process of learning. All students say that they feel confident and encouraged to speak smoothly after my lessons.
I am looking forward to seeing you in the class!!
