Hello, I'm Mina from Japan.
I was born and raised in Aichi prefecture, which is located between Tokyo and Osaka.
I like watching movies, do house DIY, reading books (Manga included), and also travelling.
I've been to some countries in Europe such as Germany, the Czech republic, France, Spain and Poland. Also some cities in the States and Canada. I love learning about other cultures and languages! So in the lesson, I'd love to know about you as well!
Me as a Teacher
I speak normal, standard Japanese without dialects.
As a language learner, I know how hard it is to learn other languages, especially in the beginning. I can speak English as well, so I can support and explain things in English if necessary.
I can adjust my way of speaking (casual or formal), depending on how you want to speak.
My lessons & teaching style
My Lesson will be based on our conversation. We can talk about movies, travelling, manga and anime, life style, culture and basically anything. I will correct you when you make mistakes, or tell you other expressions if there's anything that sounds more natural.
If you're a beginner, I will talk slowly and explain in English if necessary. Also we can use your textbook and learn basics from it.

I don't know how many lessons I've had from Mina by now, but its a lot! She is awesome! Lessons are always enjoyable and educational.
Topics are always interesting, I'm glad I get to talk with Mina how I would with any of my other friends. Especially about Stoichiometry!

Thank you Mina!
I've been taking Mina's class for months now, and she's been great in every class! Super understanding, and patient.
Always keeping the class fun, talking about things we both like. Highly recommend as always!

It was my first time booking with Mina-san and she was very friendly. She made it easy to converse with her in Japanese and she took a lot of notes for new vocabulary and mistakes that I made. Thank you!

I had a class request where I wanted to learn about conversations at ward offices, she was able to help me practice sample conversations and also clear my doubts regarding vocabulary and pronunciation. She made the trial lesson comfortable and positive. I look forward to taking more lessons from her.
