Choosing a teacher can be tricky, but here is why we might be a great match! I am a native Japanese speaker from Kobe, currently living in the UK. Having lived in Australia and Canada and travelled to 25+ countries, I understand the excitement and hurdles of learning a new language from a global perspective.
・Global Perspective: Based in the UK, I bridge the gap between English and Japanese logic to help you understand why we say what we say.
・Background: 5 years of teaching experience with nearly 950 lessons delivered.
・Vibe: Patient, friendly, and nature-loving. I create a safe space where making mistakes is part of the fun.
Ich als Lehrkraft
With five years on italki, I’ve helped hundreds of students find their "Japanese voice." My teaching philosophy is simple: Confidence comes from conversation.
・Tailored Approach: I bridge the gap between English and Japanese logic, making complex grammar easy to grasp.
・Proven Track Record: I have a high retention rate with long-term students who enjoy my patient and encouraging style.
・Beginner Friendly: Don’t worry if you’re starting from zero! I use English to support you until you feel ready to fly in Japanese.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I focus on Practical Conversation—the real Japanese used by locals.
・For Beginners: Using original materials with Genki or Irodori, we’ll build a solid foundation. Within months, you’ll handle daily life and travel with ease.
・For Intermediate/Advanced: We dive into deep discussions to polish your phrasing and the nuances that textbooks miss.
・Kansai Dialect: Want to sound more expressive? I’ll teach you the warm rhythm and humour of Kansai-ben.
What I offer:
・Real-world Fluency: Slang, idioms, and natural pronunciation.
・Business & Interviews: Professional Japanese tailored to your needs.
・Culture & Connection: Understanding the "why" behind the language.
I just finished my first conversation lesson with Eri Sensei. I also did a trial lesson with her before this. Both lessons were excellent. Eri Sensei is very patient, understanding and kind. She is also very detail-oriented and diligent. She clarified all my doubts and made sure I understood everything. After the end of each lesson, she also sends a doc which has all sentences we discussed which is a big plus. Looking forward to more lessons with Eri Sensei.

Eri-sensei is always very kind and patient in her lessons and will guide you to an answer instead of telling you it outright, which is always a great and rewarding way to learn. She writes plenty of notes to study during the lesson which I always really appreciate and look back on. She is very encouraging and never makes me feel nervous to use the language or back away from challenges I may face in Japanese. Please, book her lessons!!

I just finished my second lesson with Eri this morning. She already has me talking about basic matters in Japanese, and is both encouraging and precise with corrections. Looking forward to more lessons!

Eri has helped me after not practicing Japanese for a few months. She encouraged me with materials which were tailored to my specific needs and I left the lesson feeling more confident in my speaking ability. What's more, Eri provided me with materials for my own self study. I instantly feel better and want to learn more when I take lessons with Eri.
Highly recommended! :)
