Hey, everyone! I’m Maiko from Hokkaido in Japan. Previously I worked at a Japanese company for 5 years as a specialist for finance but now I am qualified Japanese teacher and also planning to learn Japanese-English interpreting and translating. I like traveling outside of Japan and watching horror, thriller, action movies. I also enjoy watching video gameplay commentary. I have lived in New Zealand for 1 year, stayed in Hawaii and Russia for 2 month and been to over 10 countries so far. I love singing and going to Karaoke! When I was a kid, my dream was to become a famous singer. I love talking to people and can’t wait to talk with you about various things !

Maiko is very patient and encouraging. There is also no pressure when talking with Maiko. It’s fun talking with her even about small day to day things. She’s flexible when it comes to her students’ learning needs.

I’ve been taking weekly ‘Daily Conversation’ lessons with Maiko-san for 2 years, and it has been a fun and educational experience. Our sessions are always engaging, as she has a natural ability to keep the conversation flowing. She subtly corrects my sentences by rephrasing them, making it easy to learn without feeling pressured. This has made me less afraid of making mistakes, and it’s become fun to try to make myself understood despite my limited vocabulary and many grammatical mistakes. Her curiosity and attentiveness make every conversation interesting, and I always come away having learned something new. If you’re looking for a teacher who makes language learning feel natural and enjoyable, I highly recommend Maiko-san!

Thank you for a great conversation and for being helpful and keeping the conversation pace slow enough so that I can understand. Looking forwards to our next chat.

I joined today's lesson while under the weather, and while I was pretty foggy, Maikoさん asked so many great questions that the conversation flowed smoothly. She's a great conversationalist.

I've had a bunch of lessons with Maikoさん at this point and she's been great throughout. She's very patient, kind and a great listener. She's also very generous with her time in that I never feel like she's watching the clock or rushing to end the lesson. Consequently, I feel very comfortable speaking with her and have enjoyed all the lessons so far.
