Master's in East Asian Studies
For the past 20 years, I have focused on teaching Japanese. I lived in Osaka for five years, and that experience greatly influenced my teaching. It helped me improve my language skills and taught me a lot about Japanese people, traditions, and details. This knowledge has affected every lesson I have taught since then. I have taught at different schools and also provided private tutoring to help my students do well in their A-level exams. Because of that, many people have chosen to continue their studies or find work in Japan.
I prioritize conversation skills in my teaching approach. Speaking and listening are fundamental aspects of language learning, and I encourage my students to engage in daily conversations in Japanese. We practice common dialogues, discuss everyday topics, and work on pronunciation to build your confidence in speaking Japanese fluently.
Mr. Wan's lessons were always a treat! Not just learning the language but feeling like you're part of Japan. His insights from Osaka truly make a difference.
Wing sensei offered a free demo lesson today! My interest in learning Japanese conversational skills has never been higher. He lets you take your time explaining things. He paid close attention to what I had to say and acted accordingly. I'm excited to have him as a professor.
I respect his expertise, but I wished for a more traditional approach to teaching. The deep dives into culture often sidetracked us from language learning.
Master's in Japanese Cultural Studies
In my career, I have learned a lot about both the language and culture of Japan. I have spent a long time studying and teaching about the customs, traditions, festivals, and daily life in Japan. I think this way of learning gives a better understanding of the language.
I include aspects of Japanese culture in every lesson. I enjoy using real-life examples that are relevant to students' culture when teaching verbs or complex sentence structures. This method helps people remember the language and learn how to use it in different cultural situations. Becoming proficient in Japanese means being able to use it effectively in real-world situations. Our focus will extend beyond textbooks to practical scenarios like ordering at a restaurant, planning travel, or conducting business in Japanese. This ensures that your language skills are not only academically sound but also highly practical and applicable to your daily life.
Even though I've only had two lessons with Yeung Lai, I already know that I will suggest her to everyone!! She is very helpful, and I learned a lot of new words and language from her. It's easy to get Yeung to explain what you want to say or know because she is very nice and speaks English very well.
The cultural insights are interesting but sometimes I feel we stray too far from language fundamentals.
I had a few lessons with Yeung, and I can say without a doubt that she is one of the smartest and most committed teachers I've ever met.I feel more comfortable speaking and writing Japanese now that I've taken so many classes that were very helpful. She really is amazing.
Master's in Modern Japanese Literature
I have spent fifteen years in the field of Japanese literature and language, and it has been very fulfilling for me. At first, I was interested in the engaging stories written by modern Japanese authors. But then, I understood that the language used in these stories is also very important. This made me combine my love for books with teaching Japanese, so that students can understand it well.
I use a structured approach to teach language, but I also expose students to parts of modern Japanese literature. I think this helps them see the language in a different way, which makes it easier to understand. Every lesson is designed to improve vocabulary, grammar, and also help you appreciate the depth and beauty of Japanese expressions in literature. I also focus on the speaking skills of students and make sure they get better at both written and spoken Japanese.
Very patient and a great teacher. He makes you feel at ease and doesn't talk too fast like a college tutor would. He keeps you company and makes sure you learn everyday Japanese that you can use.
I personally felt like the literary pieces were too much for me. I was looking for more direct language lessons. It sometimes get very tiring and stressful to keep up with the class
It's refreshing to learn a language through its literature. Each class leaves me more curious and hungry for more.
Master's in Japanese Studies
I have taught Japanese for more than ten years and have gained a deep understanding of its cultural context. I have traveled to different parts of Japan for work and noticed how the local customs and traditions influence the language. I tell my students about the real-life stories, experiences, and things I learned while I was in Japan. This method helps learners understand the bigger picture of what they are studying, which is important for understanding a language.
When I teach Japanese, I use a comprehensive approach. We will work on grammar and vocabulary and explore Japanese films, songs, and literature. When students understand the connection between language and culture, it becomes easier for them to remember and use what they have learned. Also, learning a language becomes more enjoyable and interesting when you can connect it to stories, songs, and movies!
My Japanese tutor is friendly, but I'm struggling with the lessons. He uses a lot of Japanese during class, and I find it hard to follow. I need more explanations in English to understand. I hope he can adapt the lessons to suit different learning styles.
Ms. Chiu is knowledgeable, but I felt we went off-topic too often. Needed more direct language practice.
Ms. Chiu’s classes always have a fresh perspective. It's great having Mok as a teacher because I can practice speaking each sentence properly and learn new words that I can use when I have free time. It's really enjoyable.
Master's in Japanese Linguistics
For more than ten years, I have spent much time and effort studying the structure and workings of the Japanese language. I have been studying the grammar, different dialects, and how modern slang has influenced the development of Japanese. I have been lucky to help students of different levels, from beginners to more advanced, to understand and learn the language.
I base my approach on understanding the basic language structures of Japanese. I use different resources, like textbooks and magazines, to teach my students the language differently. To have a good learning experience, practicing regularly and trying out different dialects is important.
I started because I wanted to improve my Japanese, but I wasn't ready for how good the lessons would be. Besides being a great teacher, To On is also friendly, fun, and easy to talk to. I really suggest him!
Such a kind teacher. It has been a long time since I spoke Japanese, and I'm really worried. To On led me slowly and made me feel at ease. We have fun acting out parts. I'm motivated to keep taking lessons, and I hope that one day I can speak perfectly. I'm excited for my next class with him.
Master's in International Relations and Diplomacy
I have been teaching Japanese for more than ten years. I began my journey as a language assistant in public schools in Tokyo. I have switched from regular classrooms to online platforms as the world has become more digital. I lived in Tokyo for six years and during that time, I learned the language and became familiar with Japanese society and etiquette. I have been sharing this knowledge with my students to help them understand the subject better.
Language learning can be challenging, but I'm here to support you every step of the way. I offer regular feedback, address your questions and concerns, and provide additional resources to help you improve your Japanese skills. My goal is to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment where you can thrive.
Mr. Tai's method of integrating current events into our lessons kept them fresh and engaging. His focus on practical applications was invaluable! Loved the contemporary touch he adds to each lesson. A tad more focus on traditional aspects would've been perfect. I have made significant improvement in Japanese due to Wong.
With Mr. Tai, it wasn't just about cramming words. It was about understanding their significance in real-world settings. Highly recommend.
Lessons were interesting but sometimes felt we strayed a bit too far from the core syllabus.
Master's in Japanese Linguistics
I have been teaching the Japanese language for ten years, focusing on its linguistic aspects. I love to analyze the grammar, sounds, and structure of language to make learning easy and natural. Over time, I have taught workshops, training sessions, and interactive lessons to different types of learners, including those who are just starting and those who are more advanced. I have worked hard and traveled to different places in Japan to study and collect data.
My way of tutoring involves using a mix of organized lessons and engaging activities. I help students understand important ideas and grammar and teach them how to use the language in real-life situations by having conversations, doing listening activities, and acting out different roles. For me, language is not just words. It's also about understanding how it sounds and flows. I think this is very helpful in becoming good at it.
Ms. Mei's understanding of linguistics shines through in her lessons. The role-playing sessions are enjoyable
As someone who struggled with Japanese in the past, Ms. Mei's methods were a game-changer. Can't recommend her enough!
Master's in East Asian Studies
In my nine years as a teacher, I have focused on Japanese culture and literature to help students learn more than just the language. Reading traditional stories and modern fiction in Japanese can help you understand how the Japanese language started and evolved.
I believe it's important to include literature in my teaching methods. Language and literature are closely connected. So, when I teach, I spend a lot of time reading out loud from different Japanese books. These books can be old or new and are popular among people. Students can learn grammar and vocabulary in a specific context, which makes the process fun and educational.
Ms. Yin's approach is wonderful. I've not only learned the language but also developed an appreciation for Japanese literature. She taught with a lot of energy and made things easy to understand.
I was looking for a more traditional way of learning. The focus on literature was a bit too much for my taste
M.A. in Japanese Linguistics and Literature
For almost ten years, I have taught the Japanese language to enthusiastic students, focusing on the details and long-standing customs. I studied in Kyoto for my graduate studies and got to experience the beauty of Japanese culture, poetry, and arts. Living in Japan, taking part in traditional tea ceremonies, and visiting old shrines had a big impact on how I see things. These experiences made my teaching better.
I use an engaging approach to teach Japanese. We will study grammar and vocabulary, but we will also learn about Japanese literature, watch films, and practice calligraphy to understand the language better. This exposure helps learners not only understand the language superficially but also connect with its culture and history. I want to make learning Japanese not only educational but also life-changing.
Mr. Yiu's classes are a delightful blend of traditional and modern Japanese. His personal experiences and stories about living in Kyoto add a beautiful touch to the learning process.
While I appreciate the cultural insights Mr. Yiu provides, sometimes I feel we could use a bit more time drilling the Kanji characters. But overall, a very enriching experience.
Mr. Yiu's approach to teaching Japanese is like no other. The film sessions, in particular, were enlightening. They made me feel closer to Japan than I've ever been.
Master's in East Asian Studies
I'm a native Japanese speaker with a deep passion for sharing my language and culture. Growing up in various regions of Japan, from bustling Tokyo to serene Kyoto, has given me a profound understanding of the language's regional variations and its cultural context. With a Master's degree in East Asian Studies, my academic background complements my practical experience.In the last nine years, I have been able to mentor many A-level students and help them understand the basics and complexities of the Japanese language. As a native speaker, I can offer genuine insights into how the language has changed over time and how it is used in real life.
I customize my teaching to match different ways of learning. I can help you if you prefer to learn by seeing, hearing, or doing. I want to make learning Japanese easy and fun for everyone. I use things like pictures, interactive activities, audio materials, and hands-on tasks to help people learn.
Ms. Oi's storytelling approach is incredible. Every lesson feels like a journey through Japan's history and culture. She's made Japanese so much more than just another subject for me.
I've learned a lot about Japan and its culture, but at times, I feel we stray too far from the language itself. I wish for a bit more grammar and less history.
A refreshing approach to teaching. Ms. Tung combines linguistic lessons with aspects of Japanese life, making each class memorable. Students looking to practice their Japanese conversational skills in a casual setting would benefit from this course. If Tung sensei could provide me with some notes or perhaps homework to complete after class, that would be fantastic.
