Hoi Ching (Miharu) - JapanC$40
C$40Express Yourself in Cantonese /Japanese - Learn Naturally 🌳
Trusted teacher: 你好、我叫海晴。こんにちは! 我係香港長大嘅混血兒. I was born and raised in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 , half Japanese 🇯🇵. I am totally fluent in Cantonese and Japanese. I have been living in Japan for the past 8 years. As a native Japanese speaker who hasn't lived in Japan my entire life, I understand how challenging it can be to learn natural Japanese--or any language --on your own. I’ve spent years struggling with it myself, so I understand. That’s why I’m here—to help you experience Japanese/Cantonese the way it’s really spoken. With me, you’ll learn things you could never get from a textbook or without having a native speaker around you. I have 7 years of teaching experience in Cantonese and Japanese. I truly enjoy explaining and sharing knowledge in detail, helping learners absorb and understand step by step. I believe that improving little by little each time is more than enough to make great progress. In our lessons, we will focus on: Casual conversation (to improve speaking and listening) Natural pronunciation Expressing feelings and thoughts naturally Learning vocabulary in a way that feels easy and not overwhelming Staying focused while keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging! Reading and writing skills (for learners who want to aim higher) We are having our class on Google Meet. I will send you the code 30 minutes before the lesson start. Please keep in contact on apprentus. You don’t need to bring any textbooks—I will provide all the materials for you. But if you prefer to use your own textbook, that’s completely fine too. I will organize each lesson according to your needs. Please feel free to make any requests or ask questions anytime—I’ll be happy to help!

Anne
rating star
rating green star
Anne is a teacher that prepares her lessons in advance. You get a lot of attention as a student and I really felt welcomed from the first minute. Anne is very clear in her communication and organisation (and this also encompasses how she guides you towards the first lesson, making sure all is clear). It is clear that she has a profound knowledge of the Japanese language as well as the didactical methods to teach it. What I appreciated was her openness and the fact that you can shape the lessons to make them fit with your personal goals you have for studying Japanese, whatever they might be. I definitely recommend working with Anne!

Anri あんり

rating green star
Anri is an excellent teacher: thanks to being very attentive, she adapted immediately to my level and speed of learning. We instantly found a set-up perfectly matching my goals combining both online and in person lessons in Naha. I was very surprised to hear that she only just started teaching last year as her style of teaching felt very experienced. Anri clearly loves her work and that makes all the difference. Just like Okinawa, she is a real sunshine person.

Hota is a wonderful person to know, and a great teacher. She has gone above and beyond our expectations and she is always on point in helping me and my husband with understanding the Japanese culture, the people, the language, the places, the lifestyle…. She’s even come to our hotel to teach us, even in the cold snowy day.. she’s really awesome and a lovely person to know. It’s also nice to make a new friend and teacher in Japan.. Thank you so much Hota!
