Friendly Japanese tutor Hi, my name is Mayo. **For English speakers, please pronounce my name in Spanish, like Cinco de Mayo. Not Mayonnaise ((´∀`)) ** I don't speak Spanish though. I was born and raised in Japan but have been in the us for long time. And I am a Japanese tutor, travel escort and a professional Japanese lyricist. Like to meet people (in person or online) and have conversation, and also like to do different things everyday. Please tell me about your favorite and then you and I study Japanese thru your favorite topic. Though I'm not a certified teacher I have met and talked thousands of people every year as a travel escort, so I know how to have good conversation. You don't need to worry much. Just relax and have fun together. For grammer lesson, I go over grammer topics along with "GENKI" textbook. Explain the grammer by using presentaion slides and then practice it. If you don't have the text book, I send the presentatioon slide after the lesson. For reading lesson, read a Japanese article, find out the new vocabulary and grammer and discuss about the article. I am going to prepare vocabulary sheet and send it after the lesson. For Japanese lyric lesson, pick a song you like and inform me in advance. Then I prepare the lyric sheet with lists of vocabulary meaning and reading. After the lesson, I send the sheet to you.

Mayo-sensei has been instrumental in my Japanese learning journey! I really enjoy how we break down the deeper meanings and nuances of Japanese lyrics. The lessons are meaningful, engaging, and absolutely wonderful. ありがとうございます!

Mayo san was very patient, which means a lot to me as a beginner. She explained things clearly and communicated with me very well, making it easy to follow along and stay engaged. I’m looking forward to learning more! Thank you!!

Mayo-san is an excellent teacher! She uses the Genki textbooks to teach an introduction to Japanese. She is incredibly patient and her mastery as a teacher really shines. She is always willing to answer questions and gives cultural context to Japanese phrases and sayings. I also appreciate that she starts off talking slowly then repeats the phrase at a more natural pace. That has helped me with listening comprehension. I would highly recommend Mayo-san as a teacher for people who are just starting out.

I just had my first lesson with Mayo sensei and really enjoyed it. She was very friendly and engaging. We had a very interesting conversation in Japanese. I've learnt a lot of new vocabulary and interesting facts about contemporary Japanese culture. Thank you so much for your time!

Another wonderful lesson with Mayo-sensei. I always come out of the lesson learning a lot of new things about Japanese, and having a better grasp of it than I did before!
