【Basic grammar】You can learn "practically" and "enjoyably" using original slides based on the "Genki". My original materials are very popular among students. If you want to start from 0 and aim to speak REAL JAPANESE, I can help you. I will accompany your journey towards achieving your goals.
【会話】初級から教科書を使わない会話のみのクラスも提供しています。文法は一人で学べますが、会話は一人では上達できないので、レッスンでたくさんアウトプットしてください。より自然な表現や間違いがあればその都度教えます。A1～OK! If you'd like, I can speak in a casual speech or Nagasaki dialect, so let me know.My teaching material

I have been doing lesson with Kiko Sensei for 3 months now, 4 times a week. She is very thoughtful and caring and tailored the class to my needs. She was very accommodating and extremely patient even with a slow learner like me! I highly recommend her as a teacher because you will learn so much from her and she will be very thoughtful and caring with you!

Thank you Kiko. Even in the first class I felt very comfortable speaking with you. You were very helpful with your recommendations, vocabulary, and grammar corrections.

Thank you Kiko sensei for a great class today. We started by taking about what we did in the past 2 weeks, and then we discussed about finding and interviewing for jobs in Japan. As always, Kiko sensei was very patient with my broken Japanese, and has come prepared with slides for the requested topic. I would highly recommend taking her classes! Looking forward to the next session.

I am really enjoying my lessons with Kiko-san! I really feel like my conversational skills are improving. Kiko-san is diligent in gently correcting me when I get things wrong so that I can fix my mistakes, and we never seem to run out of things to talk about, which makes the lessons really fun.

Kiko-sensei is always very patient with me during our lessons, and knows exactly how to talk to me at a level where I can both mostly understand but also learn a lot. Talking to her is always a lot of fun - very highly recommended, both for the grammar lessons and the conversations.
