I've taught over 600 online lessons to students aged 7 and above! Beginners are very welcome!😊 I live in Shonan, Kanagawa with 2 cats🐈🐈 I’ve spent about a year and a half in Melbourne and Brisbane! 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. 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 🎶Music: Singing is one of my favorite things to do 🍪 Baking: Every year I celebrate birthdays with handmade cakes 👶🏻 Kids: I truly love spending time with children

I worked with Haruna for 3 months to prepare for a trip to Japan, and the experience was excellent. She is patient, relatable, and consistently takes the time to fully explain essential phrases with clear, practical examples. Her lessons and materials were tailored to real travel situations, which made everything useful and easy to retain. Each session felt purposeful and engaging, and I always felt like I had learned something I could actually use. I learned a great deal in a short time and built real confidence in my ability to communicate.

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. ありがとうございます。がんばりましょう! !

Haruna-San thank you so much for another fun lesson! I had a lot fun learning different Japanese proverbs, some were very hard to guess as to what the meaning was but you helped me ! Thank you for your patience with me throughout the lesson, I know today I had kinda a rough time understanding some sentences but you were able to guide me through them. I look forward to learning with you next time.
