Hi! I’m Emika😊
I was born and raised in a small town in Kagoshima, moved to Saitama, and now I live in Australia 🐨🇦🇺
I completed a training course in Australia on “Teaching Japanese in English” 🎓
I love playing the piano, dancing, and spending time with animals—I live with an adorable cat! 🐱 I also learned calligraphy for over 10 years in Japan and have experience teaching it at language schools abroad ✨
Let's have fun learning Japanese & Culture with me!🇯🇵
Me as a Teacher
I’m a friendly and relaxed teacher who loves helping students improve their Japanese in a fun way🐈
I want my lessons to feel comfortable, so you can practice and make mistakes without feeling nervous😊
We’ll focus on real conversations, useful grammar, and vocabulary that you can actually use✨
I adapt my lessons to fit what you need, and I’m always here to help you improve at your own pace. Let’s have fun while learning🎶
My lessons & teaching style
Everyone has a different level and goal, so I offer three courses that meet your needs!🎯
📖 Hiragana & Katakana Course:
Perfect for beginners. We’ll focus on mastering Hiragana and Katakana through fun, interactive lessons.
📖 Japanese Basics & JLPT N5~N4 Course:
For those want to learn basic Japanese or pass JLPT N5 & N4.
We'll use my original slides which are based on Japanese textbooks and gain basic knowledges about Japanese grammars.
📖 Informal Tutoring:
No set lessons—focus on what you want! We can practice conversation or work on specific areas you need help with.
Learning should be fun and motivating!
I’m here to help you every step of the way. Let’s enjoy learning together!😊

Amazing first experience! Great flow and an understanding teacher. Right combination of communication, teaching and style. Definitely coming back. I’m now more motivated than ever to consistently learn Japanese!

Motivating, relaxing, and recharging. Lessons with Emika are like a walk in the Queensland rainforest on a spring day.

A very happy class, and I am truly grateful to Emika-sensei for patiently answering my questions and guiding me in pronunciation. I couldn't see the pictures or hear the sound halfway through, and Emika-sensei was very patient in solving the problem. It was really great to have met Emika-sensei! I can't wait to attend the next class! See you next time!🌷😊

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.
