Hello, everyone! I currently live in Japan and have been teaching both Japanese and English for more than 7 years.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in International Relations. I was born in Japan, but moved to Peru where I lived for more than 15 years. I was raised in a multilingual environment, so I fluently speak Standard Japanese, Spanish and English. During my school years, I studied Korean, French, Mandarin, German, and more, and I have also studied in South Korea as an exchange student for one year. I love reading, learning languages (currently Swedish and Polish), and playing with my dog!
比較言語学に興味があり、様々な言語の違いや共通点を見つけるのが好きです。趣味の読書で原文と訳文を比較したり、様々な媒体を通して、常に「ことば」に敏感でありたいと思っています。

That’s why I am here—to support you in overcoming those hurdles and help you gain confidence in speaking Japanese. As a dedicated and patient teacher, I will tailor lessons to your needs and learning style. If you want to improve your Japanese, you’ve come to the right place!
Feel free to ask me anything about Japanese language, culture, history, or daily life in Japan! I’m also eager to learn about your country, language and culture, so I look forward to exchanging stories and ideas with you!

Watana-sensei is very good about helping me to expand my vocabulary and be more precise in my expressions. Her being fluent in English also helps when there is a particular phrasing I wish to convey with some nuance in Japanese.

Watana San is very friendly and correct me on the spot. Always having great chat with Watana San and able to learn a lot from our conversation. The lesson was full of laughter and informative at the same time. Can't wait for our next lesson. Thank you Watana San.

When I started lessons with Watana-san, I couldn't understand any Japanese conversations. After a couple of months of (almost) weekly practice, I can now understand quite a bit. This is a testament to her patience & skill as a mentor. I'm very thankful to have learned a lot from her.

I have taken several lessons with Watana-sensei and have genuinely enjoyed all of them. Although I’m still at an upper beginner level, these sessions have been extremely helpful and can feel myself improving with every lesson. Watana-sensei is always patient and understanding, and always takes the time to provide thoughtful feedback at the end of each sessions, even when we run slightly over time.
