I teach Japanese carefully and thoroughly!
I don’t just go through the lessons—I guide students in a way that will benefit them in the long run. I help them develop the ability to think in Japanese and reach their own conclusions. To achieve this, I actively use questions like 'Why?', 'How?', and 'In what way?' to encourage deeper thinking throughout the learning process.
