Hello! My name is Mizue, and I'm a Japanese tutor based at the foot of Mt. Fuji, surrounded by the beauty of nature.
I am a full-time chocoholic who is also into movies and dramas.
My dream for the future is to live in Iceland. If you wonder why, please take a trial lesson to find out the reason.

Me as a Teacher
โจ Why choose my lessons?
As a Certified Professional Tutor, I bridge the gap between "learning" and "actually speaking." I don't just follow a textbook; I ensure you can use what you learn in real-life situations.
- Full English Support: I provide clear explanations in English, so you will never feel lost or confused.
- Patient & Encouraging: I create a supportive atmosphere where it is completely okay to make mistakes. We go at your pace!
- Step-by-Step Curriculum: We will build your foundation from Hiragana/Katakana to basic conversation in a structured way.
My lessons & teaching style
๐ Fun & Effective Materials:
I use a variety of materials to keep you motivated:
- Minna no Nihongo / Genki: Perfect for building a rock-solid grammar foundation.
- Marugoto: Focus on practical, real-life communication.
- Anime & Pop Culture: Learn natural phrasing, slang, and cultural nuances using your favorite anime.
- News & Articles: Improve your reading and discussion skills using NHK News Web Easy or the latest news topics. (suitable for intermediate/advanced level learners)
- Visual Aids & Slides: I use clear visuals to make grammar easy to understand.

The lessons are very fun! She brings a relaxed environment that makes it far less scary to make a mistake. She prepares lessons beforehand, and ensures that I'm always learning something new. I definitely plan to continue learning with her, and can wholly recommend her!

Mizue-senseiโs lessons are always well-prepared and engaging. Each week I learn new words and phrases, and I can tell my listening skills are slowly improving. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Mizue-sensei is an excellent teacher. She confirmed my goals and offered learning tips before our first class. We are working on shadowing and listening skills. Her lessons have been very helpful. I definitely recommend her classes.
