Beginners are very welcome!😊 I live in Shonan, Kanagawa, and I’ve spent about a year and a half in Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia!🐹 I know how hard it is to speak a new language. I felt the same when I started learning English. I was afraid of making mistakes, but patient teachers helped me find my voice again. Six years later, I’ve become someone my past self would be proud of. Now I’d love to help you do the same. Let’s take the first step together! 🌟 【Things I Love】 🌿Nature: I love both the sea and the mountains đŸŽ¶Music: Singing is one of my favorite things to do đŸȘ Baking: Every year I celebrate birthdays with handmade cakes đŸ‘¶đŸ» Kids: I truly love spending time with children

I had a very good conversation class today with Haruna-san. She has a calm and friendly way of guiding the discussion that makes it easy to speak without feeling nervous. I felt comfortable from the start, and the atmosphere stayed relaxed throughout the whole lesson. She’s also patient and attentive, giving me the time I need to express myself and gently correcting my mistakes in a way that feels helpful, not stressful. The topics she chooses are interesting and make it easier to keep the conversation going naturally. Overall, it was a pleasant and productive class, and I definitely feel like I’m improving thanks to her approach.

I had a very fun, laidback, and enjoyable conversation with Haruna-san. We had discussed many interesting topics throughout our lesson and was very supportive. I really appreciate the different suggestions on sentences I create, it truly helped sharpen my conversational skills. She also creates a helpful word document so I can review later on what we had discussed. I wholeheartedly recommend taking Haruna-san's lessons, she's patient, supportive, and encouraging with helping others reach their language learning goals. ă‚ă‚ŠăŒăšă†ă”ă–ă„ăŸă™ă€‚ăŒă‚“ă°ă‚ŠăŸă—ă‚‡ă†ïŒ 

Today’s lesson was really fun and easy to follow! I finally understood how ぼで and から are used, and your explanations were very clear and gentle. I felt relaxed asking questions, and you always corrected me kindly. Thank you for making Japanese feel less scary and more enjoyable every time! I’m looking forward to the next lesson!

I had my first lesson with Haruna sensei. She was very pleasant to talk to. I'm far from fluent in Japanese, but with her fluent English she helped me understand how to correctly say what I wanted to say. I really appreciate that. Also, when we were speaking in Japanese she spoke slowly and clearly. This lesson was great and I can see myself and anybody else really growing with her lessons. I'll definitely book more lessons.

We continued to review prepositions with Haruna Sensei today by practicing speaking about different objects and their positions (behind, on top of, in front of, next to). We also did another spot the difference activity with her. Unfortunately my daughter was having a rough night and was very squirrelly and inattentive as a result. Haruna Sensei was very patient despite how my daughter was acting. We look forward to our next lesson and hopefully my daughter will be more attentive during the next one.

We had connection issues tonight, as well as a distracted daughter, but Haruna Sensei persevered. My daughter struggled to focus because she was in the middle of a playdate, but Haruna Sensei did a good job trying to keep my daughter focused. We discussed colors, fruits, and household objects. We look forward to our next lesson!
