こんにちは！Easygoing Japanese instructor🌸 Certified language instructor with over 8years of experiences Hi everyone! I’m Marina. Born and raised in Japan, I spent 7 years abroad, which gave me a deep understanding of cultural differences and how to support students from all backgrounds. I specialize in helping shy or nervous learners take their first steps in Japanese with confidence. If you’re looking for a patient, easygoing teacher who understands your worries, I’m here for you! My original online textbooks and personalized lessons make learning Japanese approachable and enjoyable for everyone. Let’s start your Japanese journey together! In total, I have been in teaching industries for about 12 years, and I've been teaching Japanese for about 8 years. My former students often described my classes as "tea room", and I like the fact that my class has had a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. However, I am sometimes strict on my students because I believe that encouraging students is my way of expressing respectfulness. I am using original textbooks for the beginner and intermediate classes and I would like to provide customised lessons. Depending on the students' Japanese skills I am always making adjustments to studying plans and there will be revised tests time to time. And for students who are aiming to take Japanese language exams such as JLPT, I am using GENKI, みんなの日本語 and 日本語総まとめ。

Had a fantastic lesson today! Marina sensei has chosen a topic extremely relevant to the world we are currently in. As a result, I've learned so many incredibly useful expressions. Thank you very much! Looking forward to the next lesson. :-)

Marina-san is a very patient and kind teacher. The lesson was well paced and she was patient with me when I made mistakes and helped correct me. She goes through repetition and than pivots to conversation to allow you the opportunity to practice what you learned.
