Certified Tutor🌸5+ Years Experience🌸5,000+ Lessons🌸English-Friendly Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker who studied English and lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so no worries if you are a complete beginner✌ I also love manga and anime, so let's chat about them in Japanese 😄 I learned English as a second language myself, and I'm currently studying Korean, Spanish, and Turkish. So I know how fun and exciting language learning can be and also how frustrating and challenging it can feel! If you're nervous about making mistakes, don't worry. I've made countless mistakes while learning languages, and that's how we learn! If you've been thinking, "I wish I could speak Japanese someday," why not start now? Imagine where you could be three months from now. You might already be talking about yourself, your hobbies, and your daily life in Japanese! 🍙 My Lessons 🍙 🌸 Beginner Level🌸 Never studied Japanese before? No worries! Let's start with Hiragana. I use Genki-based materials for these lessons. 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?" 🌸 Intermediate Level🌸 Finished Genki or Minna no Nihongo Elementary? Let's move on to intermediate Japanese! I mainly use Quartet for these lessons. I also have Tobira if you prefer. In these lessons, we will focus on grammar, conversation, and reading practice while expanding your range of expressions in Japanese. * These lessons are designed for students aged 16 and older.

Today, Saki san and I talked about a recent trip I went on as well as a museum exhibit she visited recently. It was a lot of fun sharing about our experiences. Saki san is always genuinely interested in what I have to say and that gives me courage to try to express myself. Though I stumble many times in our conversations, she is incredibly patient and kindly supports me as I struggle to get my thoughts out. Thank you, Saki san!

Saki is the best Japanese teacher and conversation partner I've ever had. She perfectly calibrates how much to push me to improve my grammar without feeling like I can't get my message or story across. Every session she's always encouraging me and helping me understand Japan better.

Today, Saki san and I chatted about movies, her family's recent visit, and pets. It was really fun and I love having these kinds of conversations about everyday things. Thanks to my classes with Saki san, I find myself feeling more and more comfortable trying to express my thoughts and ask questions in Japanese, and being okay even if I make mistakes.
