No reviews yet

Hi there, I'm Yoshi. Thank you for clicking on my profile. I was born in Japan and currently live in Seoul, South Korea where I have taught Japanese for many years.\

I’m a professional language instructor. I've been working for a university institute for 6 years now. I have a master's and Ph.D. Degree in Linguistic Psychology and also work as a professional researcher in the field of second language acquisition and language proficiency evaluation. I’m currently developing a certified second language proficiency examination in Korea, and testing the language ability of national officers’ including diplomats and national security officers.

My strength is endorsed by numerous experiences in the field of education. First of all, I passed the Japanese teaching competency test 18 years ago and I've been teaching Japanese ever since! Until now, I had taught thousands of students in universities, officers in government organizations and even business executives in Korean companies like Samsung.

I support you to achieve your goal. I can teach you Japanese language from characters. And for those who have learned some Japanese before, we can have more conversation oriented lessons to improve your conversation skills. Advanced learners are also welcome. I have worked with many business persons and academics. I will motivate you to pursue your dream.

If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact me. Let's learn Japanese in an effective and fun way. I hope to see you soon.
