  • What else ...

    Hello, my name is Naoki Iizuka, a teacher traveling the world teaching Japanese children since April 2023. Thank you for your interest in my project. While working as a school teacher, I have been working on a project to visit children around the world during vacations, connecting them with Japanese children and letting them dialogue in English. So far, children from Kenya, the Philippines, and Bangladesh have participated in my project. As of 2022, I have been preparing to leave my position as a school teacher and go around the world.

    Let me explain the process of my project. First, I will visit your school and community to give thinking ability lessons or games. I can also teach Japanese and English. The purpose is to build trust between the children and me and to create a desire to talk with Japanese children. At the same time, I will also prepare for the exchange with Japanese children looking forward to meeting and talking by giving them an hour of English lessons online.
    I am looking for schools and children to exchange with Japanese students and a place where I can give classes. If you are interested in helping me, contact me via direct message or email.
