こんにちは！I’m Reiko, your fun and patient Japanese teacher with 14+ years of experience—specializing in JLPT prep (N5-N3), beginner survival Japanese, and kids’ lessons (9-15)! 🇯🇵📚
Living in Japan with my cat (🐱 boss of the house!), I love sharing practical language skills and cultural tips—whether you’re into anime, travel, or just ordering sushi like a pro! 🍣✨
Taught 3,000+ online lessons across platforms, so I know how to make learning easy, personalized, and stress-free.
⏰ Flexible scheduling—just message me! Let’s turn Japanese into your superpower together! 🚀Me as a Teacher
With over 14 years of teaching experience, I’ve helped many students become confident and conversational in Japanese—no matter where they started! 🇯🇵✨
I’m a certified Japanese language teacher, and I use original slides and easy-to-follow explanations in every lesson. I also include romaji to make learning smoother, especially for beginners.
🍀 But most importantly… my lessons are fun, relaxed, and engaging!
Whether you’re shy or talkative, total beginner or brushing up, I’ll guide you step by step.
Let’s make learning Japanese something you look forward to every time! 💬🎉My lessons & teaching style
I customize each lesson based on your goals using original slides 📚✨
We’ll have fun conversations 🎉 to naturally build your speaking skills 🗣️
Many learners say, “I know some Japanese, but I can’t speak well.” 😅
Don’t worry! I’ll help you speak with confidence 💪😊
If you prefer, we can also use a textbook 📖 to build grammar & listening 🎧
After each lesson, I’ll send the PDF we used 📩 so you can review anytime 🔁
Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together and reach your goal quickly! 🚀🎌My teaching material

Reiko is a very encouraging teacher who matches the pace of her lessons to my learning speed. I especially appreciate the way she explains aspects of Japanese culture and body language during our lessons.
