Japanese Tutor for Beginner+ to Intermediate | Learn, Speak & Use Japanese 🌿 Learn Japanese. Use Japanese. Enjoy Japanese. Have you studied Japanese before but still find it difficult to speak? Or do you understand some Japanese but lack confidence when communicating? I help beginner+ to intermediate learners review what they already know, strengthen their foundation, and turn their Japanese knowledge into practical communication skills. 📚 Textbook Lessons with Genki Learn grammar and vocabulary systematically, then practice using what you learn in real conversations. 💬 Japanese Conversation & Free Talk Speak, listen, and read in Japanese while developing your communication skills through guided conversation. My lessons are for learners who can already read hiragana and katakana. They are not suitable for complete beginners. I create a calm, supportive environment where you can make mistakes, ask questions, and speak at your own pace. 🌱 My goal is simple: To help you move from knowing Japanese to actually using Japanese. I look forward to meeting you and helping you enjoy using Japanese with confidence. 🌸

Today we did a lot of speaking and it was so fun! I really feel like with Maki-san's help, I've made a big improvement over the last year. :) Thank you so much and see you next week <3

Back to Japanese after summer vacation - we started with verb forms and continued to text comprehension/questions and some new family vocab. It was a nice warm up and we'll continue weekly from now on again. :) It's good to be back.

Today we practiced speaking a lot, because I was getting depressed about my speaking skill being lower than listening and comprehension haha. Actually it went so well. I'm relieved now lol. At times it's difficult to tell how much progress I'm making, but Maki-san can assess it more clearly. Let's continue soon! :) 日本語を教えてくれてありがとうございます。<3

Wow, today we had a great conversation practice in the beginning - my comprehensive input practice is finally paying off :D Then we started on casual speech in affirmative and negative. Had time to do a lot of practice sentences. :) Let's continue next week. Thank you so much Maki-san :)

At first we did some conversation, then studied new verb forms - all while having much fun. :D Studying with Maki-san is relaxed and you don't feel stressed about making mistakes.
