Hi there! Iโm Mizue, your Japanese tutor living at the foot of Mt. Fuji! ๐ป
Iโm a "chocoholic" dancer who loves movies, dramas, and the beautiful nature surrounding my home. My big dream is to one day live in Icelandโif you're curious why, Iโd love to tell you the story during our lesson! ๐ฎ๐ธ
As a lifelong English learner myself, I truly understand the struggles and frustrations of mastering a new language. I know exactly how it feels when you can't find the right words! This experience allows me to be a patient, empathetic, and effective guide for you. My mission is to create a "safe space" where mistakes are celebrated as steps toward fluency.Me as a Teacher
Professional & Goal-Oriented Teaching Approach
I have been a professional language educator for over 20 years. While I officially began focusing on Japanese instruction in 2024, my extensive background in teaching English allows me to explain complex Japanese grammar using a logical, easy-to-understand English framework. My lessons & teaching style
My Methodology:
The 70/30 Rule: I aim for you to speak 70% of the time. I provide the tools, and you do the "doing" to build muscle memory and confidence.
Comparative Learning: I explain Japanese particles and nuances by comparing them to English structures, making it "click" faster for you.
Customized Materials: I hand-pick the best tools for your goals, including Tsunagu Nihongo, Marugoto, Minna no Nihongo, and many more to ensure the perfect fit for you.
Natural Pronunciation: Using my background as a dancer (rhythm is key!), I help you master the natural pitch and intonation of Standard Japanese.
Book a trial lesson today. I look forward to meeting you!Certificates

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-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.
