Hello! I am Marina.
Have you studied Japanese but still feel nervous when speaking?
You understand grammar, but can’t use it in real conversation.
You are not alone — and you don’t have to speak alone.
My lessons are designed for N4–N3 learners who want to speak more confidently, step by step.
I don’t expect you to speak perfectly or freely from the start.
I guide you, support you, and help you turn what you already know into real conversation.
We focus on:
Speaking slowly and comfortably
Using simple, natural expressions
Building confidence little by little
I believe steady practice is more important than pressure or speed.Me as a Teacher
I live in Japan now, but I used to live in the United States. This experience made me interested in different cultures around the world. I would love to hear about your country and where you live, too! My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons:
You don’t need to think of everything by yourself
I help you find words and correct sentences gently
Mistakes are welcome — they are part of learning
I can also explain in simple English when needed, so you will never feel lost.
My goal is to help you feel:
“I can try speaking”
“I don’t feel scared anymore”
“I want to continue learning”
My lessons are perfect for learners who:
Are around N4–N3 level
Understand Japanese but can’t speak smoothly
Feel shy or nervous in free talk lessons
Want clear guidance and support
If you want a teacher who studies with you, not just teaches you,
I would be happy to support your Japanese journey!!My teaching material

Marina-sensei is a kind and patient teacher! She makes the lessons very fun, and tailors it to suit my needs. I really appreciate the effort she puts into teaching me, and I have already learned so much from her. I really recommend her :)
