About Avaelin

I am an accomplished online private tutor and currently maintain students that are beginners all the way through JLPT N3. I've lived in Japan and communicate at an N2 and N3 level myself, depending on the specific subject matter. I have a degree in Japanese Language and Literature and have lived in and visited Japan several times in my life. I routinely enjoy Japanese media without the assistance of English and bring a lot of practical language learning experience that comes from years of self-study and learning language acquisition techniques. I also work with many students in all spectrums of life and it's my job as a tutor and Japanese enthusiast to remove all of the roadblocks that I can between you and reaching the level of fluency you want to achieve with Japanese.

My method is a combination of work with textbooks and free conversation and activities tailored to my students. One day we might be practicing travel necessities, another we might work on understanding a Japanese YouTube tutorial on skateboarding, reading the manga you always wanted to experience in Japanese, or helping you develop listening skills for conversation or... just for watching anime and playing games.

I embrace using techniques to minimize the grind (it's still a grind!) as well as my years of experience teaching and studying languages myself.

I am a native English speaker who has studied, spoken, and now taught Japanese since the early 2000s. I have a lot of experience in linguistics and in explaining difficult concepts about Japanese in ways that people with no prior experience with Japanese or linguistics can understand. I'm also used to working with neurodivergent students, and I am neurodivergent myself!

I accept students at all levels from Absolute Beginner all the way to Advanced Intermediate (Roughly JLPT N3/N2 in terms of language content). I teach students 10 years old and up, though I specialize in teaching adults.

A typical lesson might involve a little free conversation in Japanese, discussing some grammar points, and then practicing with new vocab and constructions with exercises and more free conversation. After that I leave a portion of the lesson tailored to a given student, depending on what they need to focus on or what they want to focus on, whether a special interest or just more practice in problem areas. I try to leave as much English at the door as I can and it's my goal to get my students using Japanese fast.

Details

In person pricing includes travel costs - I prefer a public place such as a cafe for initial lessons. 

I will provide PDFs for any materials we use but I encourage my students to acquire any regular materials we might use in the long term if they have the means and inclination. 

I will teach small groups (2-4 people) at a rate of $100/hour both in person and online.
