Konnichiwa!
I’m a native Japanese speaker living in Kanagawa.
I lived in Australia for two years and have backpacked through over 50 countries.
I love traveling because it enriches my life.
I teach Japanese as I want to help you enjoy learning new language :)
My former job is tour guide in Tokyo, so I have deep knowledge of Japanese culture, history, religion and so on.
In addition to a tour guide, I have a variety of working experience;
- web writer, nurse, administrative worker in a Japanese company etc
These working experience enable me to teach many style of Japanese.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing the Shamisen (Japanese guitar), and playing Pokémon cards with my kids.Me as a Teacher
I currently teach online to students worldwide through direct contract and language platform.
I also have teaching experience to international students in person.
I don't want to just teach language, but want to show you background of it,
so that you can understand not only Japanese but also Japanese culture.
I believe this makes your learning much more fun!
I hope you find learning Japanese fun and easy to keep going!
< My qualifications related to Japanese teaching>
- Teaching license for high school and junior high school
- TOEIC 940
- a sense of fun :) My lessons & teaching style
I use 'Genki' and 'QUARTET' to teach basic grammar.
These textbooks are well-balanced for comprehensive learning.
In addition, I use various Japanese materials to keep the lessons more practical as below.
・Flyers and restaurant menus
・Corporate and store websites
・Video and anime characters to explain things in a fun way
My current students enjoy learning with these practical resources.
<For Beginners>
I use English when necessary to ensure you fully understand the 'why' and 'how' of Japanese grammar.
<For Intermediate/Advanced>
I intentionally increase the amount of Japanese as your Japanese skills improve.
Thank you for reading!
I would love to share Japanese journey with you!My teaching material

This was my first lesson but she made me feel comfortable and kept the conversation going and helped me figure out what words I was trying to use in a sentence. Very nice and helpful.
