Hi, I’m Emika! I was born and raised in Kagoshima and am currently based in Australia 🇦🇺🌴
I love animals, especially cats🐱 I have an adorable orange cat, so he might pop into our lessons to say hello! 🌟
I completed a teaching course in Australia and have been working with students from absolute beginners to advanced learners. I focus on creating a comfortable and supportive environment where you can speak with confidence and improve naturally.
Each lesson is tailored to your goals, whether you want to focus on conversation, grammar, or exam preparation.
If you’re looking for a friendly and patient teacher who will support you step by step, I’d love to learn with you! 🌸
I have been teaching Japanese to students from all over the world for several years, and I truly enjoy helping learners grow with confidence. In my lessons, I start with English support at the beginner level, then gradually move into Japanese as you become more comfortable. I create a relaxed and friendly space where you can speak freely and make mistakes without worry😌
My lessons focus on real conversations, practical grammar, and useful vocabulary you can use right away. Even if you are just starting or feel unsure about your Japanese, I will support you step by step and help you achieve your goals at your own pace🐈
Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!🌟
I offer structured grammar lessons for N5 to N3 learners, as well as conversation-focused lessons for advanced students. Each lesson is carefully...

I had a trial lesson with Emika. She is very proactive and messaged me beforehand the lesson about where I am at with my Japanese studies and what resources I use to study. She is very organised and has a structured lesson plan with slides where she helped me improve my pronounciation and introduced adjectives. Highly reccommend booking in with Emika!

Emika-san is really patient and kind, and it is a pleasure to be her student! Her lessons are engaging and super helpful for practicing grammar and sentence structures. I feel comfortable speaking Japanese with her even when I make mistakes because I know Emika-san will give me feedback and encouragement.

I've been taking lessons with Emika-sensei for a while now, and I have to say she is one of the best teachers on iTalki! She's excellent at the key things that make a teacher good: speaking slowly and clearly, explaining things in an understandable way, facilitating the conversation, and providing feedback on the most natural ways to say things. But more than that, I just find our conversations to be really FUN! That makes me look forward to our lessons, and it never feels like "work". She's just a really genuine person and takes an interest in our conversations. I've been improving so much and I'd highly recommend Emika-sensei to anyone who is serious about, or just wants to have fun, learning!
