【30-Min Trial – Learn Japanese Your Way: Grammar, JLPT, J-POP, Anime… even The Beatles?! 🥁】

In this relaxed 30-minute trial, we’ll get to know each other and talk about your goals, current level, and learning preferences. I’ll show you how I teach Japanese grammar and conversation in English (or Chinese) using my own illustrated materials — so even complete beginners don’t need to worry!

We’ll also discuss your interests and what you’d like to focus on — whether that’s daily Japanese, JLPT preparation (N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1), or conversation practice tailored to real-life situations.

I’m a musician-tutor, so we can even talk about pop culture — J-POP, anime songs, or The Beatles! 🎶 I’m a big Beatles fan and sometimes perform their songs on drums 🥁, so if you love music, we’ll have plenty to chat about too!

After this trial, we’ll create a personalized lesson plan that’s perfect for your needs and interests. 🌟

⏱️ Note: Lessons finish a few minutes early so I can prepare for the next student. (For example, a 30-minute lesson finishes after about 25 minutes.)

This free conversation lesson is all about speaking and real communication — we focus entirely on conversation without using textbooks, grammar lectures, or structured materials. 📢

🏡 Extra support: I’ve been living in Japan with my British husband for over 10 years and have supported many foreign residents during that time. If you’re planning to move to Japan, travel, or come for business, I’m happy to share practical advice about daily life here. (Please note that I cannot make reservations or complete procedures on your behalf.)

We’ll have relaxed discussions on topics that interest you: Japanese daily life, culture, music, J-POP, anime, or even The Beatles! 🥁 I’m a big Beatles fan and sometimes perform their songs on drums, so music lovers will feel right at home here.

If you’re interested, I can also introduce some places in the Kanto area (Tokyo and nearby) where you can listen to live Beatles sessions or even join one yourself — a fun and memorable way to connect language and culture while you’re in Japan. 🎶

After each lesson, I will provide a detailed lesson memo with useful phrases, natural expressions, feedback, and corrections — usually about a full page of notes. 📄

📚 Please note: Because this class is focused on natural conversation, we don’t use textbooks, printed materials, or online resources. For the same reason, we kindly ask that students do not bring outside materials to the lesson.
If you’d like to study with specific materials or learn grammar step by step, please consider booking one of my grammar-focused lessons instead. 😊

Free Conversation – Real Japanese Talk about Culture, Music & Daily Life (No Textbooks)!

I mainly use my own original materials filled with illustrations, and I explain grammar and vocabulary in English. So even complete beginners don’t need to worry!

As a musician-tutor, I not only have solid knowledge of Japanese grammar and plenty of experience guiding conversation practice, but I can also bring something extra to my lessons. Drawing on my background as a musician, I love introducing pop culture, music-related vocabulary, and fun aspects of Japanese life that you won’t find in textbooks. I also enjoy sharing tips about events and places in Japan that music lovers and newcomers can experience and enjoy.

**I can also help you prepare for JLPT exams (N5, N4, N3, N2, N1). Please send me a message if you would like JLPT-focused lessons.**

NOTE: To prepare for the next student, 30-minute lessons end after 25 minutes, 45-minute lessons end after 40 minutes, and 60-minute lessons end after 55 minutes. Thank you for your understanding!

Japanese Grammar and Conversation with a Musician-Tutor!🎶

I’m a huge fan of the Beatles, and I often play their songs on the drums with other musicians, so I also offer a Beatles-inspired lesson series where you can study grammar and vocabulary at any level — from complete beginner to advanced.

This is designed as a continuing series rather than a one-time class, with each session building on the last. The focus is always on grammar and vocabulary, while using Beatles-related topics as fun examples.

If you’re interested, please feel free to send me a message!

Please note: All lessons are created with respect for copyright, image rights, and publicity rights. Some slides may not be shared outside of the lesson. Due to copyright restrictions, I can’t use song lyrics as teaching materials. However, we can definitely talk about your favorite song titles and fact-based episodes about the band!

Reminder: To prepare for the next student, 30-minute lessons end after 25 minutes, 45-minute lessons end after 40 minutes, and 60-minute lessons end after 55 minutes.
Thank you for your understanding!

I had a wonderful experience at a national senior high school in Taiwan. Most of the students were beginners of Japanese language, I taught them not only Hiragana and Katakana, grammar and some useful phrases, but Japanese culture!
