Certified Japanese Teachers - 16

Hi everyone,

How are you?

This's Masa. How's everything going?

I've got a couple of updates to share with you today :)

1.
Thank you so much for joining us for the September event, a day trip to Enoshima. We hope you enjoyed it! As always, a big thank you goes to Yurika san and Stefanie san from World Unite https://www.world-unite.de/en.html, who organised the event for us.

We will be sharing the clips of the day later on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/asaolanguage If you have a chance, please have a look!

For the October event, we are having a picnic in Yoyogi park plus a visit to the NHK Museum. As always, everyone is very welcome to join us. Looking forward to seeing you then :)

My Tiktok project is still going on. https://www.tiktok.com/@asaolanguageschool that I have a live stream everyday. We have been going through the grammar points from the following JLPT N4 Grammar and Reading Comprehension book.

It is great that the number of interactions has been increasing during the stream :) Your questions and requests, whether they are related or unrelated to the topic of the day, as well as general comments are always welcome. I focus on N4 grammars but you can ask me anything at all regardless of the levels. Please feel free to join us!

Regarding our lessons in person, as you know that we have stopped using our old classrooms in Shin-Yurigaoka and Shinjuku. This was because we wanted to improve our general service quality. The idea is to see if we can offer better accessibility to the lesson location with a more flexible lesson schedule. For that, instead of having fixed locations, we could travel to the locations of your choice. So far, we have been using rental classrooms which are absolutely everywhere in the Tokyo region and it is working very well :)  

In our community, there are lots of quality teachers who are available at different times and on days in a variety of locations. If you would like to try our in person lesson at your preferred location, all you need to do is to let us know the name of the train station and we will arrange the rest for you. (If it is in Shin-Yurigaoka and Shinjuku, we will be happy to cover the rental fees.) Those classrooms can be found on the following websites.

We have been establishing corporate arrangements with those platforms, aiming to bring the prices down :)

The Photo is from Taito Shimizu sensei, one of our Top Teachers and here is his introduction :)

Taito sensei, who is originally from downtown Tokyo, is a full time Japanese teacher as well as a writer. His previous work as a writer includes writing news articles for a local newspaper in Hokkaido for 5 years. Through which, he established a strong relationship with the indigenous Ainu community as well. In the past 9 years, he has been working as a full time Japanese teacher with us as well as a freelance writer for industry magazines, newspapers, museums, public offices, government projects and so on. He also helps the Ainu community to promote their culture on the mainland. He is available for lessons both online and in person. He specialises in various types of lessons ranging from General Japanese, Academic Japanese, Business Japanese to Exam Preparation. If you are interested in trying his lesson, please feel free to let us know at asaolanguage@gmail.com

That's it for today!

See you all in October :)

引き続き宜しくお願い致します。
