Hello, I'm Hikari ✋ I was born and raised in Japan and speak both Japanese and English. I am studying psychology. I love travelling. Exploring and discovering new things have always been my passions. I've lived in Tokyo, Kyoto, Okinawa, Hokkaido, Australia, and more. I enjoy reading books, writing stories, watching comedies, and visiting museums in my free time. Back when I was a student, I played basketball every day, and I still enjoy watching any sports🏀✨ I love talking with people, which makes this job so enjoyable. I'm excited to hear your stories!

I have been taking lessons with Hikari for a couple months now, and she is incredible. She is very fun to talk to and knowledgeable. She has made learning japanese much less scary. She is very kind and happy to help in every way possible. Often it feels more like I am talking to a friend than a teacher. My japanese has increased greatly, I look forward to my lessons every week. ありがとうございます

Hikari先生 is always so encouraging and helpful in our lessons! She constantly makes sure that I am able to follow along with what we are talking about, and if I am not understanding, she helps me fill in the gaps! She is always so supportive and leads the conversation in a way that I am able to work on a lot of the speaking skills I am trying to get better at! This was our eighth lesson together and I can absolutely say that having her as a conversational partner/tutor has immensely improved my speaking skills thanks to the supportive and fun environment that she fosters in her lessons. :)

Hikari is such a wonderfully amazing conversation partner and teacher! Japanese feels very intimidating sometimes as an English speaker, but Hikari makes speaking and learning Japanese feel very fun and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!
