Hi, I’m Sophia 😊 I help students speak natural Japanese, from everyday Japanese conversation to polite keigo. My airline career gave me deep insight into cross-cultural communication. My lessons focus on Japanese conversation, helping you speak Japanese comfortably in daily life, travel, and social situations. Lessons are clear, practical, and supportive, with simple explanations. I look forward to helping you improve your Japanese.

Sophia-san is amazing! I truly love her lessons—they are both fun and highly professional. I am a beginner Japanese learner, and although I know the basics of grammar, my main goal has been to improve my speaking skills. Sophia-san is incredibly kind and encouraging. She celebrates even my smallest progress, which motivates me to keep learning and expressing myself in Japanese. She always discusses my learning goals with me and asks for feedback at the end of each lesson. After every lesson, she sends a clear and helpful PDF summary with key sentences, grammar, and phrases, plus practice exercises as homework. These are extremely useful for review. Taking lessons with Sophia-san is the highlight of my week, and I look forward to continuing my Japanese learning journey with her! 一緒に頑張りましょう!😊

Sophia-san was very engaging and adapted her style to my goals. She spoke slowly and understandable. It was a very pleasant experience.
