About Me
italki teacher since Jul 13, 2020Interest topicHistoryReadingPets & Animals
Hello, everyone! I currently live in Japan and have taught both Japanese and English for more than 7 years.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in International Relations. I was born in Japan, but moved to Peru where I lived for more than 15 years. I was raised in a multilingual environment, so I speak Standard Japanese, Spanish and English fluently. During my school days, I have studied Korean, French, Mandarin, German, and more, and I have also studied in South Korea as an exchange student. I love reading, learning languages (currently tackling with Swedish and Polish), and playing with my dog!
比較言語学に興味があり、様々な言語の違いや共通点を見つけるのが好きです。趣味の読書で原文と訳文を比較したり、様々な媒体を通して、常に「ことば」に敏感でありたいと思っています。Me as a Teacher
I have the passion for learning languages, and I know how difficult it is to learn a new one, so I can help you overcome those difficulties. I am a dedicated and patient teacher. If you are interested in speaking Japanese, you have found the right person!
Feel free to ask me any questions you have about Japanese, Japan, its culture, its history, anything! I would be more than happy to assist you, and I am also interested in your country, the language you speak, and your culture, so please let me know about yourself in my class.
生徒のレベルに合わせた会話のペースで、新しい単語や表現を紹介したり、発音矯正のお手伝いをします。生徒のやる気を引き出し、日本語での会話を楽しみながら成長できるよう、少しでも力になれたら嬉しいです。My lessons & teaching style
In my class, I will help you improve your Japanese speaking skills through free discussions of various topics adapted to your needs. Regardless of your speaking level, I am here to help improve your skills and boost your confidence. If you are a beginner, we can start from basic grammar.
***Please kindly note that I do not accept lesson requests for children under the age of 12.
***Cancellation policy: If the lesson is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, rescheduling is not possible. If the student does not show for whatever reason, no refund is given.My teaching material

The best part about Watana-san is how supportive, patient, and thorough as she is. Highly recommend her for your Japanese language class needs!

When I started lessons with Watana-san, I couldn't understand any Japanese conversations. After a couple of months of (almost) weekly practice, I can now understand quite a bit. This is a testament to her patience & skill as a mentor. I'm very thankful to have learned a lot from her.

Watana San is very friendly and correct me on the spot. Always having great chat with Watana San and able to learn a lot from our conversation. The lesson was full of laughter and informative at the same time. Can't wait for our next lesson. Thank you Watana San.

Mi clase de prueba con Watana fue una experiencia muy grata y agradable, ella es super atenta y calmada, paciente y me fue muy fácil hablar con ella y entenderle. Fue muy amable y cortés conmigo y respondió a mis consultas con gran presteza. Creo que todo fluyó en la clase de manera correcta, ella parece una persona diga de confianza y espero pronto volver a tomar una clase con ella.
