Trusted by Long-Term Learners | Professionals & Serious Learners Many of my students have continued studying with me for years. Most of my students are professionals who use Japanese for work, daily life, travel, or personal interest. My goal is not only to help you understand Japanese, but also to help you use it accurately and naturally in real situations. In my lessons, you will: • understand grammar clearly in English • learn the differences between similar expressions • improve speaking through active practice • receive detailed corrections to build accuracy and confidence I use structured materials such as Genki, Quartet, and Nihongo Fun & Easy, while adapting lessons to your level and goals. I hold a Master's degree from Kyoto University and advanced English qualifications (Cambridge C1 Advanced and EIKEN Grade 1). I have also studied traditional Japanese culture such as tea ceremony, kimono dressing, sewing, and calligraphy, and can share cultural insights when relevant. If you are looking for a teacher who can support your Japanese learning step by step over the long term, I would be happy to work with you.

It really feels like I am making great progress, thanks to Meg’s help. She teaches at a comfortable pace. She is very patient and explains the reason why a sentence is constructed a certain way. I still struggle a bit with particles and verb conjugations, but I am starting to understand how these work. Meg is also very helpful in reviewing new vocabulary that I’ve learned in my audio lessons during the week. Although I am just a beginner, I feel like I am rapidly improving my understanding of にほんご. ありがとございます Meg せんせい!

She always gives me time to think or remember something before telling me what I'm having trouble remembering. She corrects me when my sentence or response isn't correct. She encourages me to use the Japanese I have learned and answers questions I have when I don't know how to say something in Japanese. I always enjoy my lessons with her.

Meg Sensei is always such a supportive and engaged teacher! I always look forward to my lessons with her, and she goes above and beyond to tailor the learning process to my interests and needs. I’ve been taking weekly/twice-weekly lessons with her for almost a year and a half, and no plans to stop any time soon!

I've now been taking lessons with Meg for 7 months and I've really loved having her as a teacher! She is smart and makes learning fun. She also does a great job at explaining and comparing Japanese and English grammar. She is able to provide a variety of resources from different texts and different audio files. I feel like my Japanese as progressed immensely with her as my teacher!
