Thank you for visiting! ようこそ～！
*I am accepting new students for weekly lessons. Message me to set up a schedule!^^ *
I am a native Japanese speaker with over 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught both online and offline, and I have also worked at a language school. I have learned English and Korean, so I understand how exciting and challenging it can be to learn a new language.
I can help you improve your Japanese skills! If you are serious about learning and want a structured approach, we'll make a great team:) Also, if you're an anime or food enthusiast, you're more than welcome!^^
Textbook I use:
Minna no Nihongo 1&2
Minna no Nihongo Cyukyu 1&2

News etc...Me as a Teacher
I'm dedicated to helping you become a confident speaker of Japanese. My lessons may be challenging, but if you are serious about improving and appreciate a structured approach, I am the right teacher for you!
I give homework every lesson, so you can practice and review what you learnt. (Doing homework is very important to build a solid foundation!) Please review the previous lesson and memorise the new vocabulary before the lesson. This will ensure that our sessions are productive and enjoyable.
Many of my students, who started as beginners, are now able to discuss a wide range of topics, from daily activities to world news, at an advanced level. I'm very proud of their progress!^^*My lessons & teaching style
I teach Japanese in Japanese! The best way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself and practice speaking as much as possible. I can assist in English or Korean if needed, but don’t worry about making mistakes—I will always correct and guide you!

It was a real pleasure meeting Manami-sensei. She is very kind, patient, and well-prepared. The lesson was easy to follow, and she explained things clearly in a way that makes learning feel natural.
She is the type of teacher who will be attentive to your mistakes as she wants you to master all from the start. She gives homework after every lesson, and has a specific plan to take you to fluency. She is someone you would want to study with for years.

I’ve just started lessons, but they’ve been incredible! She is easy to talk to, challenges me, and does really well at assessing my weaknesses. I can tell that my Japanese will definitely improve through our lessons. I started studying Japanese on my own, but I can tell classes with her will make a huge difference! I definitely recommend!
先生とのレッスンを始めたばかりですが、とても素晴らしいです。話しやすくて、自分の弱点をサポートしてくれます。これからのレッスンもとても楽しみにしています！

This was our one hundredth lesson. I really owe it to Ms. Minami for always being patient with me. I would certainly recommend her as a teacher who doesn't give up on her students and always gives her best.
