My name is Harumi. I was born and raised in Japan.

Now I'm back in the USA and teach music and languages online besides making YouTube videos.
I love traveling, and I used to do backpacking in all over the world.

Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching more than 15 years now.
As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014.
But I also taught music and English for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion.
I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day.
I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson.
Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to of course improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties.
Even though I've only taken a few lessons so far, I've already found out a lot of things, and that's helping to change my mind and improve my lesson.
My lessons & teaching style
I have materials to practice building Japanese frases in your head and start speaking right away.
I'm also good at explaining grammar.
If you're a total beginner, don't worry, I'll explain everything in English or other languages, but I also want you to challenge to listen and try to understand the context.
For intermediate and advanced students, I use articles and stories to strengthen their proficiencies.
I love talking about the culture, too.
I can always customize your lessons depending on your needs, but at the same time, from my lots of teaching experience I always have ideas what you need to do in order to improve your skill to achieve your goal.

Harumi sensei, is a wonderful teacher! She speaks in a crisp clear voice and her audio and video quality is great! She's friendly and personable and always makes me feel comfortable even when I make mistakes. Her teaching expertise shows through when I'm looking for just the right translation. Thanks Harumi!
