Hi, Iโm Natsumi! ๐ป Whether you are starting from "Zero" or struggling to "Speak," I am here to be your best Japanese buddy!
๐น What I offer
For Absolute Beginners: Don't worry if you don't know any Japanese yet! I can explain grammar and culture in English or Korean, so you'll never feel lost. Weโll start from Hiragana and useful daily phrases at your pace.
For Intermediate Learners: If you "know" words but "can't speak" yet, letโs bridge that gap! I focus on output-based lessons to turn your knowledge into real conversation skills.
๐ธ About Me
Currently living in Korea and a language learner myself (EN& KOR). Iโve traveled to 26 countries and love cooking, running, and FOOD! ๐ฃ๐Me as a Teacher
I teach a variety of students, including complete beginners, lower-intermediate learners who can understand but struggle to speak, and intermediate and advanced learners who want to expand their vocabulary and express themselves more naturally.
Lessons are mainly conversation-focused and can be conducted in Japanese, English, or Korean.
I always try to make lessons fun and engaging, with activities that lead to new discoveries and deeper understanding.

Natsumi sensei is really easy to talk to and can help find the best words for students to better communicate their thoughts. She adds whatever words I find trouble with through the google documents she shares with me. She has experiences living in other countries and has a very open mind to lots of different perspectives. If you want to learn Japanese to communicate and connect to people, I would really suggest you take a lesson with Natsumi-sensei!

I had my first lesson with Natsumi-sensei, she was really friendly and sincere. She is a good conversationalist and is very receptive to students questions and to various topics. She speaks English very well and could help me find the right word when I was stumped. Our first lesson was very relaxed and fun. The time flew by very quickly.

Natsumi san is a great conversationalist, who has a good sense of when to explain a word or concept that I'm not familar with. I am learning so much from our classes.
