Let's learn Japanese with Misen

Tutor Bio
Hi there! My name is Misen, a native of Japan. I have been teaching Japanese since 2004 in Northern Michigan both in person and online.
My lesson plans will be flexible depending on your ability and purpose of learning. Some of my clients are hoping to go to college in Japan. For those, I will use a textbook called GENKI for our lessons together.
For beginners I will use my own Google Slides presentation as a class material. Many of my clients love my slides since it is easy to understand. For these lessons using Google Slides, you will learn basic conversations, useful vocabularies, Hiragana writing, listening practice using YouTube clips. Usually we conclude our each lesson with Japanese culture.
Some of my advanced clients are pretty good at Japanese and want to keep brushing up their skills by having a tutoring once a week.
