Lesson flow
Just having someone to talk to isn't enough to improve your Japanese significantly. A professional instructor is someone who can tailor what you practice, at what level of difficulty, and in what order, specifically for you.
Japanese won't improve if it's too difficult or too easy. You will make the most progress when you practice with Japanese that is "just a little bit above" your current level.
What professional instructors do
* This is based on the concept of "i+1," known in the field of language acquisition (learning with content that is slightly above your current level, i).
Also, what only a professional instructor can do
The instructor will create a curriculum to reach the goal.
We will practice completing tasks from real-life situations.
We will prepare teaching materials tailored to the curriculum.
Toolio, Japanese Language Instructor
After studying abroad in Australia, I taught Japanese at both language schools and elementary/junior high schools. Driven by the desire to "support those living in Japan through Japanese language education," I founded toolio and began operating a conversation-focused Japanese language school. I currently continue to manage toolio while also actively teaching Japanese.
In addition to professional instructors providing guidance tailored to your level, toolio lessons feature the following:
Since the reason for learning becomes clear, it becomes easier to keep going.
You will be taught by an instructor who knows you.
We will practice using situations you encounter while living in Japan.
You can choose between an in-person meeting at a facility in Atsugi City or an online session.
We can also provide support and preparation for school newsletters and communication notebooks.
Making Japanese study part of your routine will help you keep at it long-term.
You can learn at your own pace. First, please select your time and frequency.
