Hello! My name is Yume and I am a Japanese language teacher.
I am from Japan and have been living in the United States since 2022.
🌟My teaching background
I have a Master’s degree in Japanese Language Education and 3 years of experience teaching at the university level in the United States.
I have also worked as a private tutor, teaching students from children to senior adults.
I love teaching and enjoy interacting with students from all over the world. Students often describe me as patient, engaging, and friendly :)
🌟Types of Lessons
Please book a trial lesson first so we can discuss how I can support your learning.
1. Free Conversation
For students who want to practice speaking Japanese through topics you enjoy.
2. Grammar Lessons
For students who want to build a strong foundation in grammar and vocabulary.
We will also practice speaking, listening, and reading during the lesson.
🌟About me
I enjoy traveling, watching movies and TV series, and baseball.
My top 3 anime are Slam Dunk, One Piece, and Ranma 1/2.
I am also learning Spanish so that I can communicate more with my family. Since I am learning a foreign language myself, I understand how it feels to study a new language as a student.
What do you like to do? I hope we can talk more about it during our lessons :)
I look forward to seeing you in class!

Yume was SO NICE! I was really nervous to start taking lessons, but she was so patient and understanding. She made me feel way more confident, even just after 1 trial lesson. I’m excited to take more lessons with her!

Her grammar explanation were clear, detailed, and easy to follow. I learned a lot throughout the class, and she always encouraged me, so I felt comfortable asking questions and speaking without worrying too much about making mistakes. I am already excited to take her next lesson!
