Hello! I'm a native Japanese speaker from the Kanto area (Tokyo/Kanagawa). Iâm patient, kind, and love helping others communicate in Japanese. My goal is to help you speak confidently and enjoy the learning process.
Iâve been inspired by amazing teachers during my own English studies, which led me to teach Japanese through volunteer work and language exchange. Iâm excited to share what Iâve learned and help you on your journey.
I recently completed a 420-hour online Japanese course in April 2025.

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
âš My lessons are ideal for learners who want to practice without fear of making mistakes.
My lessons are focused on conversation, helping you learn natural Japanese used in everyday life. Weâll work on speaking confidently and comfortably, with a relaxed and friendly approach.
While grammar is important, my lessons emphasize practical conversation you can use right away. I will tailor the lessons to your interestsâwhether itâs culture, travel, or casual chats.

This was my first ever attempt at interacting in Japanese and I was really nervous at the beginning. But Sawa Sensei was so understanding and didn't rush me when I was trying to communicate my thoughs! She listened patiently and helped me express what I wanted to say. She is really kind, so the nervousness melted away before I knew it ^^
Now im super excited for the upcoming sessions and look forward to the discussions!

Sawa-san is a really friendly and engaging teacher. What I really like is she gives you the time to think and come up with your own words. Even if you're struggling, it's really helpful to have a teacher that's willing to give you the time to think on your own without resorting back to English.
During the lesson, she also helps to correct and rephrase your sentences to sound more natural. I really appreciated her enthusiasm in this first lesson and I look forward to taking even more lessons with her.
I can't believe it's been a year!! My Japanese has improved so much since I've started taking lessons with Sawa-sensei. All the times we enjoyed talking about the differences in culture and playing games together. Even if I was having a really rough week, I always looked forward to the lesson and it brightened up my day. I'm so grateful to have found her not only as a teacher, but also as a friend. Here's to many more lessons!
