About Me

Hi! My name is Nono, I’m from Japan and currently studying at a university in the U.S.
I’m a cheerful and curious person who loves talking with people, traveling, makeup, trying food from different countries, and spending time with dogs. I also enjoy discovering new trends and sharing Japanese culture with others.
I love playing with children and I’m also interested in becoming a nursery teacher in the future, so I enjoy creating fun lessons for kids.
As an international student, I truly understand how it feels to learn a language in a new environment, so I can support you with empathy and encouragement.Me as a Teacher
I value creating lessons tailored to each student.
Everyone has different goals and learning speeds, so I carefully listen to your needs and provide a plan that suits you best.
I don’t hold special teaching certificates, but I have many years of tutoring experience in Japan, where I was a popular teacher among students.
My lessons are mainly conversation-based! I make sure you have plenty of time to think and speak for yourself, so your conversation skills will grow naturally.
I also focus on building a bright and relaxed atmosphere, where you feel safe to make mistakes and keep trying.
My goal is to learn with you, not just teach you. My lessons & teaching style
・Beginners: Everyday Japanese with English support (greetings, travel, shopping, daily life).
・Intermediate learners: Role-plays, free talk, and cultural discussions to expand your expression.
・Kids: Fun learning with games, anime, and songs to make Japanese exciting!
In every class, I introduce aspects of Japanese culture—seasonal events, customs, and lifestyle—so you can learn not only the language but also the heart of Japan.
⚠️ I'll be returning to Japan on December 16th, which means the lesson times will need to be adjusted significantly due to the tome difference. I appreciate your understand!My teaching material

Nono is a fantastic and knowledgeable tutor! I highly recommend her for conversation practice. She will easily change the level of speech depending on how comfortable you are with Japanese. Thank you!

Nono sensei is incredibly patient and understanding. She eased my nerves during our first iTalki lesson, and was able to find a good range of talking points for a beginner like me.
For context, I can barely hold a conversation in Japanese and was terrified to schedule a tutoring session. Nono sensei was able to ask interesting questions and guide the lesson to help me speak as much Japanese as possible. She also helped steer the conversation towards words and phrases relevant to my learning goals. The overall atmosphere was fun, flexible, and respectful, perfect for those looking to practice speaking and listening early in their learning journey!
