I’m a Japanese tutor who loves connecting with people around the world.
My goal is not only teaching Japanese, but helping you feel comfortable expressing yourself in Japanese.

I enjoy meaningful conversations with my students.
There are no right or wrong answers — only thoughts, opinions, and real communication.

You can choose any lesson style, or we can decide together in my trial lesson.
・Beginner: GENKI, grammar, pronunciation

・News lessons (most popular!): Learn vocabulary, kanji, and expressions from real Japanese news, and compare Japan with your country.
・Discussion (culture, opinions, philosophy)
・Journal correction: Write about your daily life using the Japanese you already know.
I’ll help you sound more natural.

Manae-Sensei is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend that other students try out a lesson with her! She came prepared with material to get an idea of my Japanese level which helped tailor the lesson to my needs. She is patient and able to provide corrections and constructive feedback in a very positive, non-demeaning manner which keeps the lessons light-hearted and fun.
