Hi! I'm Sae. I am a certified Japanese language teacher.
I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. I speak standard Japanese.
My major was Chinese language and I have lived in China for 2 years. I currently live in the U.S.
My hobbies are traveling, cooking, and watching movie/anime. I also like to learn about other cultures and languages.

Me as a Teacher
I started teaching Japanese online in 2020. I have experience teaching mostly Chinese and Western students. I can tailor lessons to suit your learning style. I will do counselling with you before your first lesson in order to assess your Japanese learning style.
我有很多对中国学生教日语的经验。因为我也学过中文和英文,我能理解学习外国语的困难。
我觉得学习语言的时候最重要的是不要害羞多一点说话。
My lessons & teaching style
We can learn Japanese grammar through textbook study, or we can focus on improving reading skills by reading online news.
If you would like a more casual learning experience, we can practice Japanese simply by free talk. I can decide which topic, or you can tell me what you want to talk about.
*In my class, I use a "Direct Method" for teaching, which means I will try to only speak Japanese in my class. I believe that can help to improve your listening and speaking skills.
*Webcam is required
Please check camera before we start our first lesson.
*Please do not take a voice/video recording of my lesson without asking me for permission first.

Sae-sensei is always very patient with my many questions, and clearly explains concepts and grammar. She also pitches the classes in a way that is not too difficult, but also enough for me to learn something new! I always enjoy Sae-sensei’s classes!

Sae is a very friendly, helpful teacher. She is attentive and understands quickly the needs and expectations of her students.
It was a great introductory lesson to a language and culture that I know literally nothing about.
I am looking forward to start into this journey with her.

Another great lesson! We went over two articles and discussed the topic. I also got to read them out loud to work on my pronunciation. I can already see the improvement on my reading and speaking skills. ^-^
