Experienced Japanese Teacher | Business Japanese, Conversation & JLPT | Personalized Lessons Hello! I’m Naoko, a professional Japanese language teacher based in the United States. I completed a 420-hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course in 2013, passed the MTTC Japanese examination, and achieved Advanced High on the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI). I specialize in Business Japanese, conversation, JLPT preparation, grammar, reading, writing, and cross-cultural communication. Over the years, I have taught students from many professional backgrounds, including physicians, lawyers, veterinarians, university professors, automotive engineers, sales professionals, and language teachers. My lessons are personalized to each student’s goals, level, and learning style. I especially emphasize active speaking practice because regular output is essential for improving conversation skills. At the same time, I believe speaking, listening, reading, and writing should develop together for confident, natural communication. Whether you are learning Japanese for work, travel, the JLPT, or personal interest, I would be happy to support your goals. Please book a trial lesson and tell me what you would like to achieve. I look forward to meeting you!

I’ve spent a whole year with naoko and thanks to her i’m Going to Japan to study. She’s great and a wonderful person. Instead of saying that she helped me in japanese (that of course she did, and did it great) i would rather say that she has been my life coach and my friend, a real (and rare to find) sensei. We laughed, we enjoyed, we exchanged opinions and cultural aspects of our life and that was awesome. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did.

I think it has been my 49th lesson with Naoko-san, and I must admit that throughout this time my Japanese has improved immensely (from level absolute 0 to N3!). Not only was I able to communicate on my trip to Japan, but also I am preparing for the JLPT N3 with this wonderful teacher. Whatever your objective in studying Japanese is, you don't need to look any further. I am looking forward to our next lesson!
