Hi everyone ! Bonjour à tous ! みんなさんおはよう !
My name is Claudine (クローディン) or you can call me Andy (アンディー), it's up to you ! I'm 20 years old and from Lyon in France. I studied japanese for one year at the university so I only know basic things. I came in Japan because I think going into the country is the best way to learn its language, so here I am !
I'm very interested in teaching, so that we can exchange our cultures. I am a cheerful and friendly person, always smiling, willing to discover everything and to share what I know. I love travelling, I've been to : Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, UK and now enjoying Japan !
That aside, I will be honest, it's my first time teaching abroad but I did help in France before.
So, to tell you more about my way of teaching, I can say that it depends of your personality and your goal. If you're shy or not enough confident in yourself, I won't be pushy. We will talk a lot about yourself during the trial lesson so that I can get to know you.
On the other hand, if you're a strong mind, I'll be very upfront toward you, because this is how you can keep a good rythm to study ! Watch out your goal, because we are going to reach it for sure, be prepared, I'll be behind you until you achieve it !
My supports to work with you are the books you read (or want to read), the movies you like or the songs you're listening to. I find it important for you to study something you like so it's more comfortable, and I can understand you even better. Of course, I'll introduce you to new things and we will talk about it.
If you already want to work with a book or any other material you have, it's ok for me of course !
I hope to be a good teacher to you and that we can have a good time all together ! I'm looking forward to see you. =)
