Hello! I’m Kiko 😊
I love meeting people from different countries and learning about their cultures through conversation. My lessons are relaxed and friendly, so you can feel comfortable making mistakes and speaking Japanese at your own pace.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, trying new cafés, and yoga.
If you want to practice natural conversation, build confidence, or study for JLPT, I’d be happy to support!
I also create videos which are useful for learning Japanese so check them below👍

It is always a pleasure to learn from Makiko-sensei. She has a great ability to explain the concept and grammar and she is always ready for the class with new material.

Kiko-sensei is great at explaining concepts. I've been taking her lessons all the way from N5 and am currently in early N3. Her classes are well-organized, and she keeps detailed notes, so it wasn't any trouble to review lessons after.
I'd recommend Kiko-sensei to anyone, beginner or otherwise!

Kiko has been an amazing tutor! She's incredibly patient and supportive during lessons, always making sure I understand the material. The homework she assigns is always relevant and really helps reinforce what we've learned in class. Since starting lessons with Kiko, my Japanese proficiency has improved significantly, and I now feel much more confident speaking and understanding the language. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Japanese skills!
