Om Ayumi Umino

I am qualified as a primary school teacher and a special needs school teacher, and I work as a clinical developmental psychologist.

Teaching experience

More about me and my classes

I email students preparatory materials in advance, enabling beginners to learn Japanese characters, basic grammar, greetings, vocabulary, and simple sentences. During lessons, we may watch videos to help visualise situations where students can use what they have learned. There are also opportunities to discuss Japanese culture, traditions, society, history, and lifestyle together, using news articles and videos as a starting point.
