Hi, I’m Maiko from Japan. I specialize in teaching adult learners who already have basic Japanese and want to improve their speaking skills through conversation. My main students are adults around JLPT N3 level and above who want to speak more naturally and confidently in real-life situations. My lessons are conversation-focused and topic-based, using daily life, travel, work, anime, and Japanese culture. Rather than heavy grammar, I help you learn by speaking and getting used to natural expressions. I create relaxed and practical lessons so you can enjoy learning and make steady progress. Please note: I teach adult learners only. I do not teach students under 18 or complete beginners.

Me as a Teacher

こんにちは、まいこです。日本語を少し話せるようになってきたけれど、「もっと自然に話したい」「会話の練習をしたい」そんな大人の学習者のためのレッスンをしています。主に、・25歳以上の大人・JLPT N3前後〜中級以上・会話を中心に練習したい方を対象にしています。レッスンでは、実際の会話を通して、自然な言い方や表現、日常で使える日本語を練習します。文法の説明よりも、「話して身につける」スタイルです。 ※18歳未満の方、完全初心者の方は対応していません。私の好きなこと・旅行・映画・アニメ・漫画・写真・チョコレート楽しく、でもしっかり上達したい方、ぜひ一緒に勉強しましょう。

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.
