Nationally Certified Japanese Teacher | Classroom & Business Experience | Culture & Nature Lover Hi, I'm Natsu😊 I was born in Kumamoto and now live in Saga Prefecture, Japan. I love Japanese traditional culture and nature. I also enjoy camping, hiking, and watching movies and anime — my recent favorite is “Look Back”! I also love playing the ukulele! I studied Japanese literature at university and worked in Tokyo for 10 years as a web director. Now, I work as a freelance Japanese teacher and web consultant. I look forward to helping you improve your Japanese and sharing Japanese culture with you! 💡Notice: Lesson prices will be updated starting April 1, 2026. In 2023, I completed a Japanese teacher training course and passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test. Now I teach Japanese at a language school, an online school, and an IT company. With about 10 years of experience as a web director, I can also help with business Japanese. 🏫 I teach beginner to intermediate classes (around 20 students) at a Japanese language school. 💻 I give private and small group lessons at an online Japanese school in Taiwan. 🧑‍💻 I also teach business Japanese to engineers at an IT company. 👩‍🏫 I can help with grammar, conversation, and JLPT preparation. 📚 Lesson Materials I use different materials based on your level and goals. Main textbooks: Minna no Nihongo, Genki, Irodori, Marugoto. If you prefer another textbook, feel free to ask! 💬 Let’s Talk! Let’s enjoy not only Japanese language, but also Japanese culture, travel, and hobbies. 📝 Trial Lesson In the t...

I really like Natsu-sensei's way of teaching, as she has her own way of teaching, such as onomatopoeia or Japanese News, in addition to the textbook I am learning on with her. Perfect combination!

My Japanese teacher is honestly fantastic. She’s kind, patient, and explains everything in a way that actually sticks. Even when we go over tricky grammar or new expressions, she always finds a clear and simple way to make it understandable. I really appreciate how she tailors each lesson to what I need. She pays attention, remembers the things I struggle with, and adjusts the pace without making it feel slow or overwhelming. Every session feels comfortable, encouraging, and genuinely enjoyable. I’ve made so much progress thanks to her teaching, and I’m excited for every lesson. She puts real care into what she does, and it shows. I’m truly grateful to be studying with her.

今日は楽しいおしゃべりをありがとう! ゆる言語学ラジオ、絶対にいくつか聞いてみるね。もしかしたら、「うん」と「はい」をどうして使い分けるのか、やっと分かるかもね(笑)。 いつも面白いことを教えてくれてありがとう! 次回は、日本の「五節句」についてもっと聞きたいな。春休み、楽しんでね。また次回!
