Why not build your vocabulary by learning sushi toppings?
It’s a win-win for travelers and anyone interested in Japanese culture.
With matching games, you can quickly switch between Japanese and English, building fast language pathways.
In sentence-building games, you’ll see how swapping words helps make expressions your own.
We describe photos, choose topics you like, and enjoy discussions.
I also prepare simple topics for absolute beginners—no worries.
If you can create your own story from four pictures, you’re already close to native-level thinking.
Did anyone think, “This is just playing”?
When you’re learning and when you’re having fun, the same parts of the brain are activated.

りゅうがくせいの Teaching Assistantを、2ねんかん しました。
また、いままでに、にほんごを おしえる ボランティアを、3ねんかん して いました。
I can help with proofreading PowerPoint presentations, reports, resumes, entry sheets, essays, and diaries, focusing on Japanese expression (not the content itself).
Since I write pure literature novels in Japanese, I can guide literary Japanese expressions. I attended a writer's training school for four years, and my work has been published in doujinshi. I have served as a Teaching Assistant for international students for two years.
My lessons & teaching style
I specialize in four areas of Japanese learning, as a former Japanese monkey researcher, a novel-writing student, and a tutor who never forgets to make learning fun.
🌸 Practice session → For students who grow through practical tasks
🌸 Basic Grammar → For N5-4 level learners
🌸 Japanese Writing → For Academic, Professional, and Creative Use
🌸 Kyoto sightseeing plan → For those who want to explore Kyoto
Language learning is similar to exercise. By stimulating your brain with topics you're interested in and training it appropriately, your progress will grow.

Yun is a great teacher.
She comes prepared for each class with material to work on and provides a structured approach to the lesson. She is easy to work with and patient when you might be struggling to express your thoughts. Yun provides positive encouragement during the session and after the session, provides corrections to things you might have made mistakes on. She also provides things you can work on between sessions that might be helpful if you have time. If you don't have time, it's no big deal either as it doesn't affect the session at all.
Lastly, on her own time, she went out of her way to help me find a unique Japanese product that several Japanese natives did not even know existed or how to obtain one once I explained what it was.
Highly recommended!

Yun san, was patient with me and ask me to pick words to make sentences...Thankyou for only using Japanese to explain. Often japanese teachers use English when a student doesn't understand but that doesnt help..I need practice speaking the words and if I dont understand I can search later with the endless amounts of online translation tools. NO CLOCK WATCHING from me which is the highest compliment..
