Hi, I’m Maiko from Japan.
"I want to speak Japanese, but I'm nervous..." — Don't worry! I'm here to help you.
With over 400 lessons of experience, I specialize in helping beginners (A1-A2) start speaking from day one. My lessons are not just about textbooks; we focus on "Real Conversation" that you can actually use.
Why choose my lessons?
Zero-Pressure Environment: It's okay to make mistakes!
Tailored for Adults: We talk about topics that interest you (Life in Japan, travel, etc.).
Let's turn your "I can't speak" in our first trial lesson!
I teach adult learners only.

日常会話を中心に、実際に使える日本語を練習します。
会話の中で、自然な言い方・発音・表現の使い方を一緒に確認し、より自然に話せるようサポートします。
文法の細かい説明よりも、「話して慣れる」ことを大切にしたレッスンです。

※18歳未満・完全初心者の方は対応していません。
My lessons focus on daily conversation and practical Japanese.
Through real conversation, I help you improve natural expressions, pronunciation, and how to use words correctly in context.
Rather than heavy grammar explanations, you will learn by speaking and getting used to natural Japanese.

I really enjoyed my lesson with Maiko-san. She's a very curious and talkative person, and we had an engaging conversation. She was also very helpful when it came to catching and clarifying my errors, even providing me with a PDF of notes after the lesson. She's an excellent teacher.
