Greetings!
I'm Sophia, a Japanese tutor specializing in practical, conversational Japanese. With experience as an international flight attendant, I bring multicultural insights into my teaching.
I focus on creating a supportive, engaging environment for beginners, with English support available so don’t worry😊
My goal is to make learning enjoyable and stress-free, celebrating your progress every step of the way. Let's together, we’ll celebrate those 'I did it!' moments as you progress!
🌸I prioritize respectful, engaging communication to make our lessons both enjoy.Me as a Teacher
My teaching style does not rely too much on textbooks and manuals, but instead places importance on the basics and on customizing lessons to suit each student's learning goals and pace.
Japanese may seem difficult at sometimes, but I support my students' efforts and value growing together with them. I will answer any questions you may have, no matter how small, so please don't hesitate to ask me.My lessons & teaching style
I offer flexible Japanese lessons tailored to each student’s level and goals — from beginners to advanced learners.
My focus is on practical, real-life Japanese and cultural understanding.
I provide three types of lessons:
1.Free conversation for intermediate learners
2.Beginner lessons to build from the basics
3.Advanced sessions with grammar tips to polish your skills
Let’s enjoy learning together while deepening cultural exchange!My teaching material
