Learn Through Trends, Culture & Topics That Make You Curious! ⚠️ Please Note: I'm currently not accepting complete beginners. My lessons are for students who have already learned basic Japanese grammar, including verbs and adjectives, and are familiar with JLPT N5-level content. ------ Hi! I'm Mai from Japan! ✨ I studied Linguistics and Translation Studies at university, and I continue to explore linguistics today. In 2019, I taught Japanese at a senior high school in Taiwan. Since then, I've taught over 2,000 online lessons to students from around the world across various platforms. 【About My Lessons】 My lessons focus on authentic, everyday Japanese through interesting topics, recent trends, social issues, and Japanese culture. I create original reading and discussion materials adapted to different levels, helping you discover useful vocabulary, natural expressions, and cultural nuances. You'll have plenty of opportunities to express your opinions, discuss real-life situations, and build confidence in speaking Japanese! 😊 Living with my British husband in Japan has also given me insight into the challenges foreigners face when adapting to Japanese life. I love sharing practical expressions and cultural knowledge that textbooks don't always cover. My goal is to make Japanese learning relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful while helping you communicate more naturally. I'm looking forward to meeting you! 🥰❤️

My first lesson with Mai sang was such a pleasure. I haven't practiced Japanese in a long time and I was a bit nervous. But Mai sang was so patient and encouraged me to speak more and gave me constructive feedbacks right away which helped to boost my confidence. I am looking forward to taking more lessons with her! ^^

Mai sensei is an excellent teacher! I have had a couple tutoring sessions with her and I’ve gotten much more confident in my speaking and listening ability! Others have also commented on my improvement : D. Mai sensei is an experienced teacher so she is easy to talk to and gives me helpful guidance for self study. ありがとう!

Mai is an amazing teacher! She always makes sure that I understand the material before moving on. Mai also incorporates several language skills into the lesson (listening, reading, speaking, etc.). All of the material is relevant and useful for everyday life and my life. I highly recommend Mai for beginners and intermediates in Japanese.

Very good introduction and adjustment to your level of the language. It felt like a smooth introduction.

I love Mai-san’s lesson style. I took a grammar lesson with her, and it was a lovely surprise because it was not stiff and textbook-like at all. Instead, she used fun, game-like activities. Of course, the activities were carefully designed so that I had to use grammar naturally in order to keep the game going, so before I knew it, I was getting speaking practice as well. It was great fun! ❤
