About Me

Hello, my name is Hoshi. I am a Japanese tutor who loves languages from childhood, it gives me a great joy to listen to what people are passionate about and their life stories as well. I enjoy anime, movies, music, books and cooking. By the way my favorite animal is cats.

Education

Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. State University of New York at Potsdam. What I dedicate for whole my university years is how to teach, translate and proofread.

Experience / Qualifications

Over 14 years of teaching experience for students of any age (7 – 60 years). I have been teaching Japanese from beginner to advanced level.

Private students, university students, a consul and his family. I found that many people who made a great improvement in Japanese have three commons. One is a hobby they are into. Second is a desire of communication of how they would like to talk if they were fluent in Japanese. Third is a notice that heart matters.

I have helped students to prepare for Monbukagakusyo scholarship and JLPT exams by my experience as an examiner. Proofreading is one of what I dedicate my heart very much, respect what you wrote and do heart-to-heart proofreading to make your essay/document perfect in the way you wish.

Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

Whether you want to prepare for an exam, improve your conversation skills, work on grammar, pronunciation, listening or reading comprehension, or simply learn Japanese at your own pace, we can build a program together that meets your expectations.

As a current master's student in linguistics, specializing in phonetics, I am particularly interested in speech mechanisms, pronunciation, and language acquisition. I can therefore offer you in-depth support, especially to improve your pronunciation and understanding of Japanese sounds.
