Hello!
I have a certification to teach Japanese, and have passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test. My name is Mugi and I am a Japanese language teacher.
My husband is from abroad. (He’s a Middle Easterner.)
I currently live in Japan.
***Please check the lesson description for further information on my life advice lessons****
I have experience teaching English to children, so I can explain them in English.
I have a cheerful personality, so I am easy going and fun to talk with.♪
I can teach basic-level Japanese.
I can speak in simple and easily understandable Japanese to non-native speakers who are visiting Japan for the first time.
I can accommodate various requests, so please don’t hesitate to ask me. I have over 10 years of teaching experience.♪
I can provide lessons using textbooks and slides as well.
--------- About myself --------------------
Before the pandemic, I used to teach Japanese to Australian and American students at a cafe.
I speak English and Japanese with my husband.
I do not speak Arabic, but my husband’s native language is Arabic.
My husband is currently studying Japanese, so I understand how hard it is to learn Japanese.
I have traveled to many places including Malaysia, New Zealand, and the United States.
I am currently studying Indonesian.
I love to study new languages.
But I also understand that studying another language is very difficult.
For 12 years, I worked as an SE (System Engineer) and created educational programs.
After that, I worked as an English teacher at an English cram school for children for 8 years.
I taught English to students ranging from elementary school to high school students.
Then, my mother broke her leg and could no longer live on her own.
In order to take care of her, I had to close the cram school.
I have been teaching them since they were elementary school students. Even after they grew up and went onto high school, they continued to join me in my cram school.
On the last day, those high school students gathered for a surprise party. ( ;∀;)
After I closed the cram school, I worked at a DIY store taking care of tropical fish, goldfish, and killifish while taking care of my mother.
I also have a certificate to take care of tropical fish.
I started teaching online after moving to a new house for my husband’s job.
I provide lessons using original teaching materials made by PowerPoint. *Japanese language lesson*
Once I start a project, I end up working on the computer all day.
This is our cat “むぎ (Mugi).“
Mugi might pay a visit during our lesson.
I have also experienced a variety of different jobs.
I have worked in a department store as well.
I also worked for my Canadian boss’s yacht company.
I enjoy talking with people.
I am sure that we can become friends right away.
I will be using slides to teach Japanese in my lessons.
I will provide feedback on what you have learned.
Feedback on important points will be sent in PDF format.
By taking a lesson with me, you might be able to learn quicker compared to when you are studying on your own.
I also enjoy drawing.
I drew my own lesson icons on Cafetalk.
I have experienced many things in my lifetime.
Among them, the most important thing for me is…
===== To be sincere.
Being online, I especially am careful about being sincere.
I have two favorite words.
One is “YOLO (You live only once.)”
You live just once. Do what you want to do.
The other one is “Why not?”
So what?
Why can’t I?
This is a picture of me and my homestay mom during my short-term study abroad program in Auckland, New Zealand.
Her car’s license plate number was also “YYKNOT (Why not).”
I had a wonderful time there.
Doing something is better than doing nothing.
Tomorrow is another day.
There is no rain that won’t stop.
I was recently nodding my head in agreement with the words of WBC manager Kuriyama.
It’s not whether you can or cannot do something, but whether you are wiling to do it or not.
If you don’t try, you will never be able to do anything.
Let’s have fun speaking Japanese.
It hasn’t even been a month since my debut on Cafetalk, but I already received this.
This is all thanks to my students.
Thank you so much.
