🏆 I completed a university Japanese teacher training program and hold Japan’s national qualification as a Registered Japanese Language Teacher. I have experience supporting complete beginners, and I have also supported foreign workers in Japan. I always try to respond carefully to each learner’s needs, and I also make use of the observation skills I developed through my work in medical settings and child health care. If you are looking for supportive and practical lessons, I would be happy to support your learning.

Me as a Teacher

As a teacher, I believe good lessons start with careful observation and understanding. I want to respond to each learner’s needs in a practical and supportive way, while helping them build confidence step by step. I want my students to feel understood, supported, and able to make steady progress.

My lessons & teaching style

In my lessons, I focus not only on grammar but also on helping you speak more clearly and naturally. You will not just study grammar. You will also practice speaking, so that you can use what you learn in real conversation. Through questions, hints, and step-by-step speaking practice, I help you think, respond, and express your own ideas more clearly in Japanese. I also write important points in the chat box during the lesson, so you can review them afterwards.
