I can help all of these. Hello! My name is Jinko and I love teaching! It's a joy for me to see people's progress and success. Being a teacher for 11 years in Japan made me feel this is something I love to do, want to keep doing as long as possible. I was born and raised in Tochigi, Japan. I have been teaching Japanese since I moved to America in 2001. I started teaching Japanese at community college. Then, local homeschool group asked me to teach Japanese in their community. Also, I was teaching at Saturday school(HOSHUKO) in Bethesda, MD, where students can learn many subjects in Japanese. At the same time, I am raising 3 children as bilingual. I earned B.A. and certified in Japan as a teacher. 11 years of experience as a public school teacher in Japan gave me a joy to see children's success and achievement. That's why I've started teaching in America too. Learning is fun! Not only children, but adults also can have fun to learn something new. Learning is fun and exciting!! My role is to help and support you to achieve your goals. Because I use both languages, I can teach Japanese efficiently, explain details, and provide some useful tips. I am very good at finding what kind of learning style is effective to you, or you prefer. So that you feel comfortable while you learn with me. Also, I believe it is one of my talents to find out what each student needs to practice and study in order to improve their skills. Which means I plan my lessons based on your needs so you can learn efficiently. In other words, I customize each lesson. I am very confident that I can provide high quality lessons and make you satisfied. My experience and constant effort to improve my teaching skill is the benefit for you.
