I taught Japanese at a high school in New Zealand for seven years, and also worked as a relief teacher for two years across local schools, ranging from primary to secondary level. Before and after becoming a teacher, I have continued working as a private tutor, and I am currently focused mainly on online Japanese lessons and creating learning content.
\nI have over 15 years of experience in Japanese language education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1. What is Kyonversation?<\/h2>\n

\"Kyonversation\"<\/p>\n

\u51fa\u5178\uff1aKyonversation<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kyonversation<\/a><\/strong> is an online Japanese learning support service run by Japanese teacher Kiyoko.<\/p>\n

With experience teaching Japanese at a high school in New Zealand<\/strong>, I can support students preparing for NCEA Japanese (Level 1, 2, 3, and Scholarship).<\/p>\n

In lessons, I primarily use original PowerPoint materials that I have developed based on my teaching experience, featuring plenty of illustrations and diagrams.<\/p>\n

These materials help students understand grammar and expressions visually, making the lessons suitable for a wide range of learners \u2014 from complete beginners to students needing support with school learning.<\/p>\n

2. Four Key Strengths of Kyonversation<\/h2>\n

1) Familiar with the New Zealand education environment<\/h3>\n

Because I have taught Japanese at a high school in New Zealand, I can provide guidance that balances Japanese learning with the local school system.<\/p>\n

I support students in improving their Japanese skills while aligning with what they are learning at school.<\/p>\n

2) A trusted supporter for Japanese parents<\/h3>\n

I understand the challenges of maintaining heritage Japanese for children growing up overseas.<\/p>\n

With consideration for each family\u2019s environment and the child\u2019s stage of development, I provide support from a professional perspective.<\/p>\n

3) Online lessons available nationwide in New Zealand<\/h3>\n

As lessons are delivered online, students can access high-quality Japanese education no matter where they live\u2014from Auckland to Queenstown.<\/p>\n

4) Advice available for those aspiring to become Japanese teachers in New Zealand<\/h3>\n

For those who are aiming to become Japanese teachers in New Zealand, I can also offer advice based on my own experience.<\/p>\n

As one form of career and lifestyle guidance, I am considering developing this type of support further as part of my future services.<\/p>\n

3. Lesson Details & Official Links<\/h2>\n

For the latest teaching record, lesson details, and enquiries, please visit the official website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can also use the materials as supplementary resources to increase your exposure to Japanese in everyday learning.<\/p>\n
