Private tutor in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Education

Currently studying Japanese language and cultural studies at Newcastle University (4th year) Completed 1 year at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan studying on their Intensive Japanese language program. I completed up to level 6 (level 8 = native Japanese)

Experience

I have previous teaching experience in Tokyo teaching English to students and business people. I have also taught some lessons on British culture and customs in Fukushima-Ken, Japan at a hotel called "British Hills" I am a native English speaker with clear pronunciation, my accent is not very strong and I love to help others learn new languages and develop their communication skills so that they can enjoy great intercultural experiences like I have around the world. My Japanese is at around the level of JLPT 2 and I am currently studying hard for JLPT 1 which I hope to pass next summer. I would be very happy to help beginner or intermediate Japanese speakers with their studies and push them onto higher levels. Even if you haven't seriously thought about learning Japanese language before I will mold my lessons to your interests in Japanese culture. I believe the most important thing about learning a language is to have fun! If you don't have fun it becomes a chore to remember and things will take much longer to learn. I will offer trial lessons at a reduced rate for anyone who is not sure whether my tutoring is for them!
