About Me
italki teacher since Aug 17, 2025InterestsHistoryEnvironment & NatureMusicFoodPets & Animals
Hi! I joined italki recently but I have been teaching Japanese online for a few years now. I really enjoy helping students grow from beginners to confident speakers. With over 10 years of experience teaching music to children in Japan and raising my own trilingual child, I make lessons fun, creative, and tailored to your needs.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy growing vegetables and flowers and cooking.🥑

私のプロフィールを見てくださってありがとうございます。夢に向かって、いっしょに楽しみながら学んでいきましょうね！Me as a Teacher
My students have created their own manga, made YouTube videos in Japanese, and even traveled to Japan. One of them achieved his dream of seeing his favorite band live in Tokyo! Watching my students grow and reach their goals makes me so proud.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I always start with greetings and a short warm-up chat. We’ll usually practice saying the date, day of the week, and time, and talk a little about the weather. I also like to ask how your day has been and what you’ve been up to.
After that, we usually do a simple role play, and I’ll explain useful grammar points along the way. If you enjoy music, we can even sing Japanese songs together!
I mainly use my own materials and online resources to make each lesson personalized. But if you prefer to study with a textbook, we can use Japanese from Zero!
My goal is to make every lesson fun, relaxed, and focused on helping you speak Japanese confidently and naturally.My teaching material

I had the pleasure of having my first lesson on italki with Sumiko. She was incredibly friendly, had brilliant English and did a great job of settling my nerves even though I was super nervous trying a 1 on 1 lesson / speaking for the first time. She is patient, kind and very fun to talk with. She helped us come up with a future plan for learning, and has filled me with optimism. ありがとうございます！
