About Me

・Graduated from National University in Japan ( I have a teaching license) .
・Working at Vancouver Japanese Language School and Burnaby Japanese Language School for group classes.
・Private Japanese lessons for 1 on 1, over 4 years.

1)Where are you from, exactly ?
My mom is from a little island, located in the south part, my dad is from the mountain side and I am from Osaka. After I was born, We moved to Tokyo for 10 years and then We came back to Osaka. Because of that, I know 2 major accents, standard and Osaka (well… actually more. If you read the next topic you are going to know why) and also the great nature of Japan. Yes, I’m a bit of everything !

2)What makes you an unique teacher ?
After I graduated from a national university, Hyogo University of Teacher Education, I decided to discover my country and the world.
So, I did a bicycle and hitchhiking trip, I spent every single night at someone’s house for a year in Japan. Then, I started to live in many different countries. I’ve been out of Japan for over a decade, so far.
Those experiences affect not only my understanding of cultures, but also my teaching.
My class won’t be only following the textbook, it comes with cultural perspectives through my experiences.

3)Why are you teaching ?
Spreading History and Culture : Japanese has a long history. I became addicted to knowing more deeper side of my country and sharing my knowledge to the weebs after traveling !
Love to encourage : Simply like to encourage someone. Let me teach, please ! is the sentence that’s always in my mind. I love to see you improve !
Making friends : I think this is the most beautiful part of teaching. All my students become super good friends.
Protecting my culture : After all of those experiences, I truly realized how much cultures are disappearing in this world. I wanna preserve my culture.
And more and more ……

4)Are doing this for getting allowance like the others ?
Currently, I have been providing group lessons for kids, who have different backgrounds in Vancouver, and have been teaching Japanese to anyone who loves to learn one on one.
I’ve even been creating my own contents for better Japanese teaching. I am fully commit my time for this job, not the side business.
This is officially my main focus ;)

5)What you wanna say to students ?
Creating together with a flexible teacher is the best way to improve your language skill, I believe.
What I wanna do through our class is to concentrate on "You reach your own goal". Let me find out what is "Missing" in your Japanese skills with specific methods that will adjust for your level.
And Let’s have a fun moment together ! As long as you have a interest to know Japanese, don't hesitate to contact me ;) !

Thank you for reading.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
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!

Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !
