Akiko Omoto Tutor Profile

This tutor is currently on leave.
Hello! I’m Akiko.
 
I’m enjoying offering lessons as a trilingual language tutor of Japanese, Chinese, and English!
 
I’m currently raising my two daughters, ages 7 and 4, in Kyoto (Japan), and they are trilingual in Japanese, Chinese, and English.
 
Their mother tongue is Japanese, but together with their father, my Taiwanese husband, we have been singing Chinese songs and reading Chinese books to them every day since they were babies in order to raise their Chinese language skills to a native level.
 
As for English, I have incorporated it into my girls’ daily lives based on my own experience as a teacher at an international school and my experience teaching Japanese to American and Taiwanese children when I was a student.
 
Also, from my part-time experience as a cram school teacher when I was a student, I teach with an emphasis on grammar and not just speaking.
 
I believe that language is a tool.
 
No matter whether you are a baby or an adult, we all have something to say.
It’s just a matter of what language you are able to express it in.
 
Just be willing to communicate! If you have the will to communicate, you can have fun and will  be able to talk more and more:)
 
For this purpose, let’s start learning together with me, from your hearing, in a pleasant way, little by little, repeatedly, just like when you were a baby and couldn’t speak a word:)

② Free conversation (Japanese and Chinese)
 
English grammar for entrance exams, from junior high school to high school level
 
Chinese conversation lessons from beginner level, with Chinese grammar explanation.
 
English conversation lessons from beginner level, with English grammar explanation.
 
Japanese lessons from beginner level, with Japanese grammar explanation.
 
<Age range for each lesson>
 
From children (from babies) to adults (up to any age)
I offer lessons according to the students’ age.
 
For example...
 
<Lesson content ①: Newborn to 1.5 years old>
 
Familiarization with songs and picture books (elephant (ぞうさん), etc.)
 
Familiarization with everyday words (water, rice, papa-mama, etc.)
 
Familiarization by repeating common actions (piggyback, carrying, etc.)
 
*In English, we will be using phonics. In Japanese and Chinese, we will start with simple words to familiarize them with vowels.
 
<Lesson content ②: From 1.5 to 4 years old>
 
Familiarization with songs and picture books, and then have them repeat those words.
 
Have them repeat common actions and words, and actually have them speak out loud.
 
Have them express the weather, their mood, their feelings, etc. in words.
 
<Lesson content ③: 4 years old and above>
 
Use picture books to familiarize them with the sounds of words, and have them repeat it.
 
Learn to communicate about the weather, their own feelings, wants, needs, likes, and dislikes
 
<Lesson Content: Grammar>
 
Lessons from the first year of junior high school (we can use school textbooks for your lessons) to university entrance exams (we can use past examination samples)
 
<Lesson Content: Free Talk>
 
Let’s decide on a theme of mutual interest and have fun discussing and freely talking about it.
 
<Lesson content: Conversation based lesson with grammar explanation>
 
Explanations using a textbook (which the student has),
 
Conversation-based lesson where students output the content of their textbook.
 
Let’s have fun learning languages!
 
Enjoy befriending people from many different countries and expand your world:)
