I live in Kyoto, Japan. I have worked at a high school for 11 years and have been working here since 2016. At the beginning, there were few teachers and students, so I was also in charge of classes, and I developed the classes in an easy-to-understand and simple manner. Recently, we have needed someone to coordinate, so I have been focusing on staff work. I hope that by helping teachers with their problems, I can give back to the students.

Living in Canada Since 2013, I have been teaching mainly lower grade students at a local supplementary school in Canada. Her daughter, who attends a local supplementary school, is also in her lower grades, and she knows a lot about things that children living abroad tend to stumble upon. In a class that gently wraps the children with a gentle smile, we develop well-planned and made lessons that are easy to understand even online.

I have worked at elementary schools (both public and private) in Osaka for 14 years, and have focused on classes where children can learn independently and PBL practice. Even online, we are taking care of children's learning. The joy of communicating your thoughts, listening to your friends' thoughts, and gaining knowledge and understanding that makes you think, "That's what it is!" Let's spend such joyful time together. We will create lessons that lead to the fun of learning on your own and deep learning!

I have been living in Canada for 20 years and have been providing face-to-face and online tutoring to Japanese children living overseas. In addition, I am in charge of elementary and junior high school at a supplementary school in Canada. I try to make the class fun for reading, writing and speaking in Japanese. Mistakes and misunderstandings are most welcome. It is important to think, speak, understand, and make the most of it. I hope that you will be interested in Japanese culture and that you will continue to enjoy learning about it.

Nearly 20 years of elementary school work in Oita City, Kyushu. After finishing raising children and retiring, I experienced volunteering at a Japanese language class for adults, and moved to Kawasaki in 2022. I will be teaching classes here from 2021. Language is an important communication tool. Although class time is short, I would like to devise teaching materials and class development so that students can acquire the ability to "speak, listen, read, and write." I want to create a fun time where we can say that we understand what we want to say to each other.

I live in Japan and run a cram school. For more than 20 years, I have been teaching students while talking about this and that. In our online classes, we aim to provide “classes that are easy to understand” and we try to teach in a polite and courteous manner. I spend my days thinking about devised classes so that the students participating in the classes can understand. I hope that you will experience the joy of the moment when "things you don't know" become "understood".

While raising children in Japan, I also work at an English class for young children. Currently, I live on the East Coast of the United States and have been working at a local supplementary school elementary school for 5 years. My favorite saying is "Continuity is power." Through my own child-rearing and the children at the Japanese supplementary school, I realize that just continuing to do it steadily will produce great power. We will do our best to help children grow smarter and stronger, so that they can learn meaningfully in the limited time they have.

Living in America. For 12 years, I have been involved in a variety of education at a local supplementary school, from elementary to junior high school students, as well as heritage language classes. As the Japanese language skills of children and students and their home environment diversify, the strength of an online school that can be connected from anywhere is that it can be used without depriving children and students who are motivated to learn Japanese. I believe there is. In order to further expand the potential of children, we are trying to support learning that will create many smiles of "I did it" and "I understand" during the limited class time.

After working at local schools and international schools in the Middle East, Europe, and Japan, I became keenly aware of the difficulty of teaching Japanese to children living overseas through my own children, who are currently attending schools in the UK, and acquired a Japanese teacher qualification. In Japan, I was in charge of educating foreign students aiming to enter Japanese universities and graduate schools at a Japanese language school certified by the Ministry of Justice. We will support children and their guardians with the feeling that we want them to fully enjoy the local life and grow while valuing Japanese as their mother tongue. Let's work hard together.

I worked at a public elementary school for five years, and later worked as a cram school teacher to teach elementary and junior high school students. I have put a lot of effort into teaching, trying to practice classes so that children can learn independently and enjoy themselves.
Since I started living abroad last year, I am keenly aware of the difficulty of learning a second language. We will support you so that you can enjoy learning Japanese while staying close to the children's thoughts. In class, we share ideas and topics, and aim to grow together while communicating.

Living in Japan. When she was in college, she volunteered to help elementary and junior high school students, and then worked as a teacher at a private high school in Okayama Prefecture for four years. During my tenure at the company, I put a lot of effort into teaching students to go on to higher education, and some of my current students have passed the exams for medical and pharmacy schools. Currently, I started working at a Japanese supplementary school while advancing to graduate school. Working at a Japanese supplementary school has always been my dream since I was an undergraduate. I would like to share the differences from overseas that I can understand only because I live in Japan, and create lessons together while being excited.

Living in Japan. He has taught all grades of public elementary schools. I have experience of teaching activities abroad twice. Therefore, I was impressed by the appearance of the children who are working hard on Japanese education. We are trying to develop online learning and provide appropriate homework. Okay, I'm glad you think it's fun too. I use tablets and teaching materials to draw pictures. I have the students show me their ideas on the whiteboard, and I am enjoying warm exchanges while teaching them by immediately responding to them.

I was in charge of lower grades and special needs at a Japanese elementary school. At the special needs class, I used pictures and photographs to try and figure out how to convey my message, and it was useful when I was in charge of a foreign child. After working as a teacher for 6 years, I lived in the United States, attended ESL classes, volunteered for animal protection, and experienced a different life from Japan. Now living in Japan again and raising two boys. I would like to devise a class so that the children can always get a sense of accomplishment.

After living abroad for six and a half years, I will be living in Japan from 2021. She works as a cram school lecturer in Paris, France.
In the lockdown in France in 2020, through the implementation of online classes under the stay-at-home order, I strongly realized that we should not stop helping with education under any circumstances. I would like to keep in mind that my classes will be close to children and their families living in various places around the world.

I am a mother of two children living in Japan. I have worked as an elementary school teacher for many years. I left the field of education to spend more time with my family, but by joining this school, which promotes "Japanese that never gives up," I feel like I am also helping to create an "educational environment that never gives up." I am happy to be able to connect with children who are working hard all over the world through the circle of Japanese! I will devise fun lessons that go beyond textbooks, such as songs, hand games, origami, and spot the difference.

I live in Japan. During my university days, I volunteered in special needs classes at elementary schools and taught at cram schools. I worked at a public elementary school in Fukuoka City for four years, and learned various ways to make the most of children's individuality through my experience as a homeroom teacher.
Currently, I work at an online supplementary school while raising my children. When I see the expressions of "I did it!" and "It's fun!" on the students' faces through the screen, I feel like I did it too. I learn a lot from children living overseas, and I enjoy teaching every class.

Currently living in Japan. Has experience as a teacher at both public and private junior and senior high schools. Has also been involved in teaching composition and essay writing, and entrance exam work for many years.
Words and letters are meant to "communicate." I want students to understand the importance and joy of communicating clearly. By talking about their own thoughts and listening to the feelings of others, I want to teach classes that allow students to learn about diverse ways of being and broaden their horizons. In addition to simply following the textbook, I write news scripts and read them like an announcer, try my hand at reading plays, get a feel for the feelings of the characters in novels, and think of ways to make lessons memorable.

I live in the United States. I customize handmade teaching materials to fit the class to help students develop their thinking skills, and I teach kanji with a focus on the origins of kanji. I strive to give efficient, memorable lessons. Children can clearly express their thoughts and ask questions when they don't understand something. "Studying is an adventure!" Let's take detours and move forward toward our own goals. I will do my best to give back to Japan, where I was born and raised!

I live in Japan. After working at a child welfare facility as a member of the Philippine Overseas Cooperation Volunteers, I taught at a junior high school. After that, while raising four children, I taught students from elementary school to high school as a cram school instructor. At the online Japanese supplementary school, I try to create a fun class atmosphere where everyone can actively express their opinions. I would like to learn more about the innovation of teaching materials and teaching methods, and grow together with the students I teach so that they can improve their skills.
