Hi !I'm Nanaka. I'm a native Japanese speaker from Osaka, now I'm living in Kanagawa. I lived in Australia for two years so I can explain Japanese in English.
I love the beach, sunsets, working out at the gym, traveling, reading, and watching anime (especially One piece!)

I have been taking Japanese lessons with this teacher for almost a year, beacause i wanted to go on a trip to japan. Starting as a complete beginner she help me learn expression and the culture of japan for my trip. After my trip i decided to keep on learning Japanese and go for the NT5 and Nanaka sensei was very suportive which help me to contiue. She is incredibly patient, supportive, and always explain things in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The lessons are well structured and adapted to my level, which helped me make steady progress and gain confidence. Learning Japanese has been enjoyable and motivating thanks to this teacher. I highly recommend them, especially for beginners.

I enjoyed my class with Nanaka! She is very friendly and easy going and has a wonderful personality. Nanaka helped provide some basic grammar and useful phrases for me to practice ahead of my trip to Japan. She also shared the material we went over with me for me to review and practice on my own.

Nanaka sensei has been very engaging and she makes each lesson enjoyable. Shes always conscious of my Japanese level and adjusts her speaking pace and vocabular so I can follow along easily. She also has a great ability to keep the conversation flowing effortlessly, and always has interesting things to share. I’ve learned a lot from her and also have had my confidence built up. 100% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a great first lesson with Nanaka. She was a very enthusiastic teacher, and the conversation practice was very helpful. When I didn't understand something, she simplified the sentences so that I could understand, and also explained things in English very well.
