Hello, I’m Kazumi😊
Let me introduce myself. I’m from Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and I currently live in Aichi Prefecture. I also lived in Tokyo for over 10 years!
I have more than 10 years of experience in singing and acting. I’ve won singing contests and appeared in Japanese dramas . I also have over 10 years of experience in the food service and sales industries ✨
People often describe me as cheerful, friendly, and easy to get along with😊
My hobbies are watching soccer and other sports, and enjoying delicious food.
Currently, I teach Japanese to adults aged 18 and over, covering the basics, conversation, and useful Japanese for travel ✨Let’s study Japanese together😊
Me as a Teacher
I teach Japanese to adults aged 18 and over at the beginner level (JLPT N5–N4).
I truly enjoy teaching and find it very rewarding😊I have completed six months of training as an online Japanese teacher, and I also teach on other platforms.
Since I’m also studying English myself, I understand both the fun and the challenges of learning a new language.
I always aim to create lessons that motivate each student, encourage steady progress, and provide a safe space to practice speaking with confidence. 🥰
My lessons & teaching style
Since I would like you to be exposed to as much Japanese as possible, classes will basically be conducted in Japanese.To make the lessons easy to understand even for beginners, I use gestures and slides with illustrations.If necessary, you can communicate in simple English😊
🌿 Lesson Contents 🌿
・In my class, we use the textbook 'GENKI'📚
・I also teach using original slides with illustrations.
・You’ll have plenty of practice using grammar in real-life conversation phrases.
🌿 What Makes My Lessons Special 🌿
・A fun and relaxing lesson where you can learn.
・It’s possible to learn to speak Japanese even from zero.
・Clear and easy-to-understand explanations
・Easily review on Google Docs ✏️

I have had a total of 3 lessons with Ms. Kazumi so far as well as others booked in advanced. Kazumi is professional, nice, easygoing, soft spoken and considerate. I enjoy her lessons that I hardly notice an hour has gone by. Lessons are done in Japanese, which I love because immersion is key, if I do have trouble she does communicate in English if I make any mistakes. I feel as I am getting a grasp on the Japanese language day by day along with the help of her instructions. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to start your Japanese language journey!
I look forward to completing all of Genki 1, and continuing my Japanese language journey with Ms. Kazumi with Genki 2.
ありがとうございますかずみさん!

My trial lesson was a fun review practice of Japanese that matches my current level. Kazumi せんせい is a great fit for me! As soon as I booked a lesson, she reached out to me to answer some questions. I was impressed. I am looking forward to more lessons. 楽しみにしています

Another fun session! Kazumi-San always review the materials, which I really appreciate. I also enjoy that she uses Genki book because it is easy to follow. I actually love that she uses minimal English in the lesson, only when I am really stuck or don’t understand a word. Highly recommend!

I had my first Japanese lesson with Kazumi and it was a great experience. She was very friendly and patient. As it was my first time learning on iTalki and with a tutor, she made me feel comfortable and encouraged throughout the session.
I’m looking forward to continuing lessons with her!

Just had another great lesson with Kazumi-san. The vocabulary is getting harder but she goes slow enough with a lot of examples and practice questions to make me feel comfortable. I’m enjoying Japanese lessons with her! Would recommend to anyone.

Kazumi-San goes at the pace I’m comfortable with. This is my second lesson with her and I am enjoying my experience. I appreciate that she uses the textbook that I can follow along. Would highly recommend!
