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!)

Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching Japanese with a focus on travel phrases and natural conversation. Whether you're complete beginner or just want to practice speaking, I'll help you feel confident using useful words and expressions.
Let's practice real-life Japanese that you can use when you traveling or chatting with Japanese people!
My lessons & teaching style
As someone who learned English myself, I understand how hard it can be to speak a new languages.
Grammar is important, but outputーactually using the languageーis key.
I'll help you improve step by step, in a relaxed and fun way.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
