What role does "ikigai" (生き甲斐) play in understanding purpose and fulfillment in life?

”Ikigai” is considered as a purpose of life sometimes, but I think "Ikigai" and the purpose of life are slightly different. I think "Ikigai" doesn't have an ending. Whereas  "the purpose of life" can be broken down into some objectives and have time to achieve step by step. Fulfillment in life can be created by each of these and how you act for these.  

I backed on this platform as I finished my master’s degree in the UK.

I love to travel. There are 47 prefectures in Japan and I’ve been to more than 40, so I can tell you what I have seen and experienced in Japanese culture too. I also travelled to 13 countries; the UK, the US, Canada, Italy, China, Korea,  Australia, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ireland, France, and Belgium. 
In my free time, I've learned Japanese-style flower arrangements.

In my class, I customise lesson content for each student. We can also use some popular textbooks such as the GENKI series and also practice based on what you learned by yourself. For instance, if you memorise some vocabulary or phrases in your free time, we practice related sentence patterns and grammar patterns. Afterwards, we practice conversation again and again. I’m aiming for you to be able to use these phrases in a conversation. 

Some students share their textbooks which they did before the class, we practice conversation based on that. Of course, I’d like students to bring their queries to the lesson. Some other students share their vocabulary or phrases before the lesson.

Moreover, we can practice basic Japanese such as HIRAGANA, KATAKANA or Japanese pronunciation, general conversation and also business Japanese. I’ve worked for some Japanese companies for more than 10 years. That’s why I can practise the business language with you.

I have been teaching English for almost two years now with students from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea. Beside teaching, I am working for one company in my city where we are doing copywriting for our clients around the world (America, Indonesia, Europe, etc).

While learning, feel free to make mistakes, because they are also part of journey in order for you to become fluent English speaker. That is one of the reasons why I am here, to make you confident with your English while speaking to others at work, while traveling, at street, etc. Beside speaking, we can work on vocabulary, reading, listening. One of my biggest hobby is history, to make our classes more interesting, you can mention some of yours and we should discuss about these topics. Can't wait to meet you!
