BA Japanese Studies Student teaching Japanese Lessons for Beginners

From 48 C$ /h

Japanese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of foreign language study and people who know Japanese have more diverse work opportunities. As such, I believe trying to learn Japanese is a great option to develop your skills and knowledge. Lessons will cover learning to write hiragana, katakana, kanji, grammar, vocabulary and listening and speaking practice every so often.

About Me

My name is Iustina and I am currently in the third year of BA Japanese Studies at Birkbeck, University of London. In the near future I am planning to have my master's in Translation at SOAS, particularly focusing on Japanese-to-English translation. As many others, I gained interest in Japan and the Japanese language through popular Anime series. However, during my BA, I got to learn Japanese history, analyze popular culture, and obviously, learn Japanese. Let's learn Japanese together!

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

This class is for anyone who wants to learn or improve their Brazilian Portuguese, whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge of the language.

The lessons are adapted to your goals and can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, or a combination of these. You will learn how to communicate more naturally in Brazilian Portuguese and understand how the language is actually used in everyday situations.

If your goal is conversation, we can use topics that interest you to build your vocabulary and speaking confidence. I take notes during our conversations and give you corrections and feedback without constantly interrupting you, so you can speak freely while still learning from your mistakes.

If you want to improve your grammar, we will focus on the structures you actually need and how they are used in real Brazilian Portuguese. I also like to explain the difference between textbook Portuguese and the way Brazilians naturally speak.

Pronunciation can also be part of our lessons, including sounds that are often challenging for learners, such as the nasal sounds in words like *pão*, *não* and *vão*. The goal is clear and natural communication, rather than trying to eliminate your accent.

Every lesson is adapted to your level, interests and learning needs. Whether you are learning Portuguese for travel, work, relationships, studies, or simply because you love the language and Brazilian culture, we can build the lessons around your goals.
