Hi! Nice to meet you 😊 こんにちは🌺 My name is Airi and I’m a Japanese teacher based in Okinawa, Japan. I used to work as a high school teacher, and now work at a café while teaching Japanese online ☕️ I also lived in Australia, so I understand the challenges and frustrations of learning a new language. Rest assured I can support you in English, so beginners are very welcome! I love talking with people and creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where you can feel comfortable speaking

Me as a Teacher

As a teacher, I always focus on each student’s individual goals and level. With my experience as a high school teacher, I am good at: ✔ Explaining things clearly and simply ✔ Adjusting to your pace ✔ Supporting you step by step I don’t just teach Japanese, I help you gain the confidence and skills to use it in real life! You also don’t need to worry about making mistakes. I create a safe and supportive space where you can learn with confidence✨

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are conversation-focused and practical. In my lessons, you will: ✔ Speak a lot (speaking-focused) ✔ Learn natural, real-life Japanese ✔ Get clear and helpful feedback ✔ Improve step by step in every lesson I customize each lesson based on your goals: • Beginners (English support available) • Travel Japanese • Japanese for working in Japan • Free conversation My goal is not only to make lessons fun, but also to make sure you see real progress every time. 👉 If you are serious about improving your Japanese, my lessons are perfect for you🔥
