New Info: I was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and I have lived in the U.S. for over 20 years. I currently live in New York. I enjoy teaching Japanese, and I also love learning languages. I am currently studying French. My lessons mainly focus on conversation, but I can adjust them based on each student’s level and goals. For beginners, I can use textbooks to help them learn the basics step by step. For advanced learners, we can read books, discuss news articles, or focus on any topic they would like to study. As a language learner myself, I know how enjoyable it feels to communicate in another language. Japanese is not easy, but I would like to help my students experience that same joy. Since I am also studying French, my explanations may sometimes be a mix of French and English, but I can also teach Japanese in French. My lesson fees are now $11.00 for 30 minutes, $14.00 for 45 minutes, and $17.00 for 60 minutes for any levels (updated in August 2026). I also offer a 10% discount for packages of 5 lessons. If you are interested, please take advantage of the package prices. If you would like to book a lesson for your child, please message me in advance with your child’s age and Japanese level. Depending on the child’s age and level, I may not be able to accept the lesson.
