★About me★
My motto is “Good fortune comes to those who smile!
I used to work as a university secretary, supporting international students and professors.
That experience inspired me to become a Japanese tutor, and I’ve taught learners from many countries ever since.
For me, learning a language means learning how to connect and communicate with others.
Recently, I’ve been checking things off my bucket list — I started learning guitar and dance! 🎸🕺
I love mystery novels and dramas, and I also enjoy anime 🥰
Right now, I’m really into Dr. Stone and Haikyuu!!
I have a cat 🐾
Please tell me your story too.
I am patient, friendly and kind .
Let's work together with a smile🥰Me as a Teacher
★As a Teacher★
If you’re interested in learning Japanese, I’d be happy to talk with you! 🌸
I offer lessons that match your level and goals, so you can enjoy learning at your own pace.
📌 I’ll share “lesson memo” after each lesson, so you can review easily.
📌 I can use English to support you, especially if you’re a beginner.
📌 My lessons are gentle, patient, and always tailored to your pace.
If you want conversation practice, feel free to talk about anything — your daily life, your thoughts, or even your worries.

Mitsuki (sorry if i misspelled that) is a wonderful teacher who is excited to teach, and every time i have a lesson with her i learn something new, while reviewing what I’ve already learned. She uses textbooks and power points but goes through them with you making it fun 😁 she’s patient when you make a mistake and helps you correct it, while celebrating when you get it right! She doesn’t really assign homework but she gives you the resources to practice on your own if you have the time and wish to. She’s a wonderful teacher and i imagine I’ll be taking lessons with her for a long time! Looking forward to my next lesson

Thank you so much for todays lesson. I feel like I have really improved my understanding and I feel much more confident in using potential form verbs :).
I really liked the way you taught the lesson, you could see when I was not confident and gave me the support I needed to make progress and to be successful.
I look forward to my next lesson.

Mitsuko is great to speak to. We talked about my recent volunteering experience, movies & dramas and read a short article about mobile phone usage. Looking forward to the next one 👍

Mitsuko-san is a wonderful, happy teacher! I asked her not to use English and she has not spoken even one word of English to me. She also does something many teachers do not - if you don't know something she will pause and wait for you to think and get it right. I enjoy working with her and will continue.
