Hi, I’m Mayu! I’m from Niigata Japan. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries and love meeting people from around the world and sharing Japanese language and culture. In my lessons, I help all levels enjoy speaking Japanese, especially people who want to travel to Japan and actually use what they learn. I teach 90% in Japanese, but don’t worry! I’ll speak slowly, use gestures, and adjust to your level, so you can relax and enjoy learning☺️ My goal is to help you feel confident using Japanese in real places, like cafes, train stations, or when meeting locals. I’m happy to meet new students! Let’s have fun speaking Japanese together and make your journey even more exciting! 💫 I especially enjoy helping beginners feel more confident speaking Japanese whether it’s for travel, daily life, or just for fun! My lessons are relaxed and friendly. You don’t need to be perfect mistakes are welcome, and part of the process. Let’s enjoy learning together at your own pace🫧 My lessons are focused on real-life conversation. I adjust to each student’s pace and interests, and I use a lot of simple words, gestures, and casual Japanese to help you feel comfortable. We often do role plays and practice useful phrases for travel or everyday situations. If needed, I can explain things in English, but I try to stay in Japanese as much as possible so you get used to thinking in Japanese naturally☺️ Let's talk and please let me join you on your journey to learn Japanese 🇯🇵

I always feel so comfortable talking with Mayu! I never feel embarrassed to make a mistake, and she's always so helpful. If I can't think of what to say she gently prompts with interesting questions!

The lesson was very helpful for practising speaking and conversation in Japanese. I also learned how to use the “を” particle more correctly. The teacher explained clearly and made the practice easy to follow. Recommended!
