Sonny is a determined teacher. He has a good plan and I hope he will be able to teach me a good few lessons to N5. Japanese is great writing for me, I am not sure yet if I can be taught to understand it enough but found instant learning today. I marked it difficult to judge why I could not say 10 before in lessons but will be 9 this time for as good as I can dare judge unless I also know better.

Teaching Approach
I teach proper way, with proper stroke order especially in writing hiragana, katakana and kanji. There will be set of vocabulary, grammar patterns, conversation practice, reading and listening comprehension in every lesson. I will guide you in every step of the way, I also give translations activity, so that my student can apply what they have learned every lesson. I also include culture, and anime vocabulary with explanation. If you already studied upto intermediate level, I can assess your knowledge, If you need help understanding a particular topic let me know, and let me explain it to you. よろしくおねがいします。
