Hi there! My name is Saori and I am a Japanese native speaker. I was born and raised in Japan 🇯🇵, and am currently living in Saitama. Also, I lived in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 for a year so I speak English as well. I love traveling abroad and have been to the US (NY, Hawaii) 🇺🇸, Australia 🇦🇺 , Korea 🇰🇷, Taiwan 🇹🇼 , Thailand 🇹🇭 , Vietnam 🇻🇳, Singapore 🇸🇬, France 🇫🇷, Bali 🇮🇩 and Egypt 🇪🇬. I always enjoy talking and communicating with local people! Also, I am a coffee lover and used to work at cafes in Japan and Ausutralia.

Me as a Teacher

I love teaching and have a passion for teaching Japanese especially! I also used to work as a tutor for students from primary school to high school and have experience teaching Japanese to university students as well. Any levels are very welcome! Feel free to join my lessons and let's improve your Japanese :)

My lessons & teaching style

【From General Conversations to Business Japanese (including revising emails/resumes and practicing mock interviews)】 My lessons are basically general conversation, but if you would like to try something else, please feel free to ask me! Also, I worked at a Japanese hotel for several years so I can teach you very polite Japanese such as Sonkei-go, Kenjo-go and Teinei-go. I can also revise your business e-mails or resumes, and practice mock interviews if you are advanced level! I understand how difficult to learn new launguages and how scary to talk to a native speaker, but no worries! Feel free to join my lessons and learn together! I'm looking forward to meeting you in my lessons :)

Saori sensei's ability to create and maintain a flow with conversation and help at the right times is both impressive and incredibly helpful. She's an excellent teacher.

I've done a few lessons with Saori now and every single one is an absolute pleasure. She's so patient and explains things so well. I would highly recommend her!

遅刻したことが謝ってくれない。30分の体験レッスンの中で、学習とは関係ないことばかり話してて、正直、ちょっと腹がたちました。こっちの要望あまり耳を傾いてくれない感じしかない........

Saori is an awesome teacher! She was flexible with my special lesson format and helped me find a time that worked to meet up each week. I have enjoyed all our lessons together and have learned so much in just half a year thanks to her patient explanations. 😊 ありがとうございました ❤️

Saori-sensei is an excellent teacher, clearly explaining the concepts, using simple language to help the student guess the more complex words. Also, a very warm and nice person able to have meaningful conversation during “Free conversation” lessons. I have learned so much from her during my lessons. I would absolutely recommend attending Saori-sensei’s class.
