Excellent lesson, thank you 😊
First lesson with Emiko-san was very pleasant! She is very nice and very patient s very accomodating as I had forgottan a lot of the grammar over the year. I'm excited to continue working with and learning from her!
Emiko is a wonderful teacher. She is patient and kind, and modifies the pace of the lessons based on what you need. Because my Japanese is so limited, it has been very helpful that she has a good command of the English language, also. Highly recommend her!
She's experienced, organized, and overall a nice person
Very high marks to you!!! 100+.
Personable and professional!!
Communication in English was flawless!!!
Practical hints about Japanese expressions to be used for daily practical conversations.

こんにちは。” I’ve learned Japanese for quite some time, but never have a chance to use it.” “ I’ve learned Japanese but I still don’t understand what Japanese are saying.” If you are feeling that way, I’m here to help! This class is focusing on your speaking ability. Do you want to use Japanese in daily life? At work or school? Let me know your situation that you use Japanese, and practice practical Japanese!

French while having fun, another way to learn.Good morning,
My name is Franck, I am French and I suggest you speak French without embarrassment and while having fun. I am convinced that we learn faster and better by having fun. In France I was a Firefighter and Policeman and I have a long experience of teaching because I am a shooting and first aid instructor, which I taught to my colleagues in France for many years.
Now I live in Yokohama and I am waiting for you to practice, improve your pronunciation, become more and more confident in speaking French. See you soon.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.

✨French teacher - Pass the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Individual or group session. ✨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.

Albanian/"Shqip"(Improve Academic/Language skills, Proofreading): Beginner/Intermediate/AdvancedAlbanian as a language is very distinguishable as it has its own branch in the Indo-Europian language tree. It is an ancient language transferred from the Illyrians who lived in the Balkan peninsula. As it is my native language, I have always helped and tutored people who are ethnically Albanian but have been raised outside of Kosovo or Albania and do not have a complete understanding of their mother tongue. Together, we will focus on all fundamentals, including the core bases of Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Throughout lessons, we will practice together with additional homework. I am looking forward to meeting you soon. "Jeni të mirëseardhur!".

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master.
My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
Spencer
English classes for all levels from A1 to C2, including homework, conversation, and writing.Hi, I'm Spencer, an American who has lived in Spain since 2008. I have over 14 years of experience as a teacher and teach classes for all levels. I also coach students for grades A1 through C2.
A class consists of 15-20 minutes of textbook grammar that I use or from your course, and the rest of the class is conversation, because for me, a language is meant to be used, not just studied. We don't just review your homework; if you want to write essays, that's also possible.
Although I take my work very seriously, I always try to have a laugh with you, too, because learning a language doesn't have to be all that serious. Besides, learning a language can be a lot of fun.
Each student has their own goals and I love helping you achieve them.
Any questions you have you can contact me.
Hope to see you soon!
Cheers,
Spencer

Improve your English pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar with a native English speakerMany English courses focus on grammar and vocabulary but, if you want to be understood you’ll need to know how to speak clearly, and that means learning the key features of English pronunciation. You may think you need to sound like a native speaker to have good English pronunciation, but this simply isn’t true. Many people have an ‘accent’ when they speak English, but they are easy to understand. In short, good pronunciation is not about accent, but rather clarity of speech.
My main areas of teaching English are improving pronunciation, increasing vocabulary and understanding grammar.
The lessons are "tailor made" to suit the requirements of the student.
