Hi there, my name is Haruka, from Hokkaido, Japan. I currently live in Brisbane, Australia. I've been in Australia for 3.5 years. I love traveling, so I can tell you the amazing spot in Japan! I enjoy learning about different cultures and meeting new people from around the world. I am excited to help you improve your Japanese skills! Any levels are welcome!

Me as a Teacher

Although I don't have formal teaching experience, I completed a Japanese teacher training program at university and volunteered as a teaching assistant at a private school in Australia, where I gained practical experience supporting students. I also hold a certified teaching license for middle and high school English in Japan, so I can provide lessons with English support if needed!

My lessons & teaching style

In my lessons, we focus mainly on conversation and practical Japanese. Each lesson, we choose a topic to talk about, so you can practice expressing your ideas and opinions in Japanese. I encourage you to speak as much as possible, and I provide English support if needed to make learning easier. My goal is to help you gain confidence in speaking and enjoy using Japanese in real situations.
