I've started to accept new students again lately! Please feel free to message me:) 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 ! I love talking with people and helping them improve. I am a friendly, interested listener. I would like to make our lessons exciting and fun. You don’t need to feel nervous and embarrassed in our lesson. I am also learning another language, so I understand how difficult it can feel. Speaking is important when you learn another language as I have experienced. Please don’t be afraid to make mistakes, it’s a natural part of learning. Let’s enjoy talking with me! Let’s enjoy free conversation and talking in Japanese with me! I would like to know about your country and culture and share Japanese culture with you. If you don’t speak Japanese at all don’t worry, just relax and let’s have fun with me in our lesson. I can explain in English in it if you want to. Please ask me anything you want to know. I am happy to answer it. My...

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 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.

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’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!
