I’m Moe from Kyoto (now in Tokyo), a qualified Japanese teacher specializing in beginner-friendly grammar and natural conversation — perfect if you’re starting from scratch or polishing your skills!
I have over 3 years of online teaching experience, and I’m currently teaching international students at a Japanese language school in Tokyo. I love helping students from all over the world speak confidently. As a language learner myself (English, Chinese, now French!), I understand both the challenges and joys of practicing daily. I also love travel! Visiting 15+ countries has shown me the power of connecting through language. I’m here to help you on your Japanese learning journey 🥳

Me as a Teacher
I’m a qualified Japanese teacher with over 3 years of online teaching experience, and currently teaching international students at a Japanese language school in Tokyo.
I’ve taught students from all over the world both in Japan and abroad. As someone who’s also learning new languages from scratch, I understand both the challenges and the joy of actually using what you’ve learned. In my lessons, I aim to help you not only learn Japanese as knowledge, but also use it confidently in real-life situations.
All levels are welcome! Let’s enjoy speaking Japanese together — I’m looking forward to seeing you in my class 🥳

Moesans lessons are very good and are delivered in a fun, relaxed and informative manner. In the lessons there is a good balance when learning new grammar and practicing it afterwards to ensure it is understood. The homework feedback is also very useful to practice all the learnt grammar further. Thank you.

Another lesson down!
Moe-san is a patient, kind, and conscientious sensei. I had a great lesson with her. Her teaching flow is fluid and her slides are well put together. She explained grammar well and we had plenty of practice speaking. She tries to speak mostly in Japanese so I get used to hearing it as well as pick up on some of the vocabs, but it helps tremendously that she is proficient in English, especially when I don't understand something and need a more in-depth explanation.
Thank you for an excellent lesson Moe-san!!

Reasons you should take classes with もえ先生!
1) She's very kind and encouraging. I know she won't judge my mistakes and will celebrate when I get it right.
2) Her syllabus for beginners is comprehensive & well-paced. It's perfect if you don't know where to start or if you like following a course.
3) Her lessons are well presented with useful & interesting materials that encourage me to use Japanese.
4) She's great at explaining grammar. I always understand the class & learn something new.
5) She sends me the grammar after each lesson so I can use them to study in my own time.
6) She sets optional homework so I can practise my handwriting, vocabulary & grammar from the lessons if I have time.
7) She gives useful feedback that helps me continue to grow in my Japanese journey.
8) Our lessons are always full of laughter!
9) She's very reliable and professional
10) She breaks down new words so I understand how to recognise similar words in the future.
素晴らしい先生です!I'm so happy with my progress⭐️
