I will adjust the fee based on the number of lessons.Me as a Teacher
I’m always working to improve the quality of my lessons.
For beginner students, I provide clear and gentle explanations. I don’t just stick to textbook expressions—I also help you learn natural Japanese that’s actually used in daily life. I offer dictation practice using vocabulary from Genki, so you can improve both your listening and writing skills in a balanced way.
For intermediate and advanced learners, I prepare vocabulary and expression lists and create questions that naturally bring out those words. Even if you’ve talked about a topic before, you’ll have the chance to learn new phrases and expand your range of expression.My lessons & teaching style
For beginners;
I use Genki (げんき) . I’ll teach you gently and at a comfortable pace! Join my lessons to learn practical Japanese expressions and start speaking with confidence.
For intermediate or advanced students:
If you often find yourself talking about the same topics—like hobbies or favorite things—during free conversation, I encourage you to try my lessons. Rather than focusing on difficult topics like politics or economics, I teach practical Japanese that you can use in everyday life.
For example, have you heard the Japanese words asagata (朝型) and yorugata (夜型)? If that was new to you, I’d love to have you in my lesson!
I speak Japanese at a natural speed.

Makiさん is a great teacher. I can tell that she spends a lot of time tailoring her lessons to her students. She prepares quite a bit prior to each lesson so there's an endless amount of things to talk about. As an added bonus, her English is surprisingly good. I also appreciate that she matches her speaking to my level while also sprinkling in new words to expand my vocabulary. She does all of this while also taking notes so that she can continue to tailor her lessons.
Most importantly however, she's got a great personality and as a result, I really enjoy my conversations with her.
