Learn real-life Japanese with Mimi 🇯🇵🇦🇺 Natural conversation, culture & daily life こんにちは😊 I’m from Toyama, Japan🏔️ I have been living overseas since 2019, and I’m now based between Australia and Japan🇦🇺📍🇯🇵 I help students speak Japanese in a natural way that feels like “you” — not just textbook Japanese✨ 【My style】 Please note: ⚠️My lessons are not like traditional school lessons. My goal is to help you use Japanese in real life — not just memorize words or grammar. When I started learning English, I often felt frustrated. I knew what I wanted to say, but I only had the vocabulary I had learned from textbooks. So I couldn’t always express myself in a way that felt like “me.” That is why I want to help you find Japanese words and expressions that feel natural for you. 【Student stories】 Over the years, I have supported students with many different goals💖 For example: 🌸 JLPT N1 success🎉 🌸 Kanji, manga, and daily conversation📖 🌸 Fashion Japanese for a career in Japanese fashion👗 🌸 Practiced Japanese before meeting a Japanese partner’s parents — and later got married✈️ 🌸 Japanese for his Japanese wife, starting in his 70s👴🏻👵🏻 🌸 Returned to Japan two years later and said thank you in Japanese💞 【Message】 Every lesson is different because every student has a different story and reason for learning Japanese. I can explain in English if you prefer. I believe having fun is one of the best ways to learn🌈 If you feel like my lessons might be for you, I would love to talk with you🌸 I’m looking forward to meeting you🙋🏻‍♀️💻

Mimi is truly one of the best tutors I have ever had! I was able to take a solo trip to Japan and hold my own with native speakers highly recommend her for any new or intermediate learner!

Mimi-sensei is an amazing teacher and a wonderful human being! I started taking lessons from barely knowing any conversational Japanese because I wanted to somewhat prepare for my vacation to Japan. Mimi is a great conversationalist and makes it so easy and fun to learn - and when I did go visit Japan, I was able to use what I learned from Mimi to understanding several phrases and words all around me. Examples being - knowing which side of the train the door was going to open (before the English announcement), knowing somewhat how to order from restaurants, asking for the check, introducing myself to new friends, and overall basic conversation. I always have a great time with the lessons. Arigatou gozaimasu~, Mimi-sensei!

Mimi is very friendly and approachable - the lessons fly by very quickly because of how fun and interactive they are. She provides very good feedback and is always very encouraging in my Japanese language learning journey. Mimi is the best :) みみ先生,ありがとうございます~!

Mimi-sensei! Thank you for your motivating energy! You lifted my confidence and it was really fun to talk to you. Your English is really good so I was able to get proper feedback in case I would mess up or need translation. ありがとうございました!
