Hello, My name is Kaori. I am a native speaker of Japanese born in Japan and raised and educated in Japan. I have a permanent Hong Kong ID card and permanent residence in the city. I have lived and taught in Hong Kong for 15 years in a variety of different learning environments - international school, several local Chinese schools (primary), a number of private companies and education centers, and of course, private tutoring lessons.
I have experience in teaching all levels and ages of students, from infant to senior professional adults. I am passionate about teaching and building confidence in non-native speakers, and in helping students reach their goals in Japanese. I am experienced and articulate with well-developed oral and written communication skills. I am resourceful and flexible, conscientious, and attentive to quality in all aspects of my work.
I offer Japanese language courses for students at all levels, along with preparation for examinations(JLPT), speech contest and tailor-made course for businessmen and professionals. Small group learning environment allows the teacher and student to better target individual problematic area.
Private(one-to-one) or group(two to six students) lessons can be arranged for any day of the week at times convenient for my students. Private lessons are great ways to complement general language studies and meet different language needs and goals.
I teach Japanese from the basics including Hiragana, colors, numbers and simple daily conversation like greeting, self-introduction, asking for time and direction, ordering food in restaurants. By using interactive and enjoyable activities such as flash cards, song, games, story telling, role-plays and so on, students will be able to develop vocabulary, make sentences and enhance grammar.

CRAFT FUN-Children can best express themselves through creative channels. My arts & crafts projects allow hands-on practice with interesting handicraft skills. The children are encouraged to express themselves through language and art at the same time in an informal and interactive environment.
SPEAK UP! A relaxed atmosphere encourages creative self-expressions, positive social interactions through stimulating stage acts, dramatic role-plays, and newscasts. Read less
