Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker currently living in Japan. I studied English in college and have lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so you don't need to worry even if you are a complete beginner in learning Japanese! ✌
I also love manga and anime! Let's practice Japanese together and talk about anime 😄
Me as a Teacher
Studying a new language is hard and scary! I know, I'm right there with you! I have a lot of friends who study Japanese. Seeing them learning Japanese made me want to help them, so I decided to become a teacher. I know how frustrating it is to not be able to say what you want to say in a different language. I can be very patient because I understand the difficulty of learning languages. With me, you don't need to be afraid of making mistakes!😉
My lessons & teaching style
🍙 Beginner Japanese 🍙
Never studied Japanese before? No worries! Let's start with Hiragana! I use Genki, Nakama and other textbooks for this lesson. You will be able to say things like...
"This movie was very interesting!"
"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Tokyo Station?"
* Since these lessons are college-level, I am only accepting students who are 16 years of age and older.

Saki is so kind. I’m always really nervous when I practice Japanese even though I’m passionate about it. She is always reassuring and friendly! She explains clearly and helps me practice a lot. I’ve been enjoying my lessons very much!
