Japanese Lesson in Nagoya and Nagakute, ShimaShima Academy

ShimaShima the tutor

I majored Japanese Language and Culture in the University of Tsukuba. I lived in Australia as an exchange student, which inspired me to become a Japanese teacher.

I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and engaged in teaching Japanese in Tokyo for over fourteen years.

I have taught Japanese for students who came from a wide range of countries, including Australia, New Zealand, USA, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Mongolia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippine, Thailand, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia...over thirty countries in the world!!

I have taught all levels, from beginners to advanced students.
Those students have passed the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test and entered the University of Tokyo, Kyoto, Keio, Waseda, and some other technical colleges.

For advanced students, I don't use English basically. For beginners, it would be efficient and effective to use English to translate the words and explain the grammar and nuance. I hold a teaching certificate for English, too.
