Learn Japanese with Fun, Energy, and Personalized Guidance Hello, I’m Momo! I was born and raised in Japan and now live in Hawaii after spending 4 years in Australia and 2 years in San Francisco. Besides working as an online Japanese teacher, I’m a special program teacher at an elementary school, where I teach STEM LEGO, cooking (Japanese, Hawaiian, and Western food), photography, and Pokémon card language. I love traveling, experiencing new cultures, surfing, working out, and meeting new people. My classes are fun, safe spaces to learn, make mistakes, and grow. I focus on creating a high-energy, productive environment tailored to your goals, whether you’re learning Japanese language or culture. I’m passionate about helping students achieve their Japanese language goals. Whether you’re a beginner or want to refine your skills, I offer personalized lessons to fit your needs. As a non-native English speaker, I understand how easy it is to make mistakes without noticing them. That’s why I focus on correcting all your errors—big or small—something you won’t often get in casual conversations. In my lessons, I provide clear explanations and practical tips to help you use Japanese naturally. I strive to create a supportive environment where you can learn confidently and ask questions freely. Lesson Focus: • Develop conversational skills in both formal and informal Japanese. • Work with textbooks like Genki (or your preferred choice). • Improve reading, writing, and Kanji comprehension (Hiragana and Katakana).

Another fantastic lesson with Momo-san! I always get plenty of listening and speaking practice in her lessons without fear of making mistakes or being judge. We laugh together when I mix up words or get expressions wrong. Momo-san is always patient and easy to talk to no matter what the subject. We always chat about anything and everything. I would highly recommend anyone who's starting out learning Japanese or an advance speaker to try taking lessons from her.

WOW. What an eye-opener! I really appreciated Momo's help in navigating how to better interact with my Japanese in-laws! She went into details on customs, greetings and tips on how to impress them! As helpful as her language lessons were, I think this was incredibly helpful in a different way!

Very friendly! The first thing we went over were goals and motivations for learning Japanese and then I was given recommendations on how to start learning Japanese based on our discussion. Very fun lesson!

After today's lesson I thought about how much progress I have already made so far. Before I was too nervous when speaking and had problems expressing myself in Japanese, but now I have learned to relax. Now with Momo's corrections, advice and encouragement, I am learning how to speak naturally in Japanese. ありがとうございました!

Momo-san is an amazing teacher! She helps you achieve whatever YOU want to accomplish! She is also very energetic and a fun teacher to learn with. Always trying to help achieve your goals and gives you a lot of insight into Japanese culture that you can't get from an app!
