Native Japanese speaker available in U.S. time zones! Hello everyone! I’m Saki.
 I was born and raised in Oita, Japan, which is famous for Beppu—the onsen city ♨️. I'm currently living in the U.S. 🌷I love traveling! I have traveled to eight different countries. 🌷My hobbies are cooking, playing the piano, hiking, traveling, and eating! 🌷I am very friendly, easy-going person😊 I’d love to hear all about you, your country, and your culture! 🇯🇵🌈From my experience, I can teach Japanese with consideration towards cultural differences between Japan and other countries. 🙆‍♀️Every lesson is adapted to your level and interests, so it’s always fun and engaging🎉 🌻I speak slowly and clearly, and I am always attentive to each student’s individual needs. I value your unique personality and will tailor lessons to help you develop and improve your Japanese skills in the best way for you. 🌱🌱🌱Natural Daily Conversation🌱🌱🌱 In my lessons, I will teach you natural expressions and useful phrases by showing many examples and ways to use each word or sentence in a specific context✨✨✨ I will type and send the words and expressions that come up during the lesson. Later, you can make your own flashcards or review them by yourself 👍 📕📗📙Grammar class using the Genki textbook 📕📗📙 This course is for practicing grammar, structure, pronunciation, and so on by using the GENKI text book and workbook😊 I can explain in English when needed, so absolute beginners are very welcome.

さき先生 is a wonderful instructor who expertly adapts her teaching methods and styles to the needs of her students. She seamlessly blends textbook instruction with natural conversation, all while providing timely and appropriate feedback to ensure that your Japanese sounds natural without inhibiting the flow of the lesson. While being very knowledgeable, she also quickly researches any grammatical or usage questions you may have to provide a "why" and help you develop a strong foundation in Japanese that goes beyond what a textbook could teach. I would recommend her lessons to any student of any level without hesitation.

Saki sensei is such an amazing teacher! She is super kind, patient, and supportive 💖 She’s always prepared for the lessons and very punctual 😸 Since I started taking classes with her my speaking abilities have improved a lot because she teaches me the most natural way to express my ideas, and she always waits patiently for me to finish my sentences and try my best 🥰 Also, she speaks very clearly and at a pace that is not too fast for me, which is perfect since comprehension is my biggest weakness in Japanese 🙈 Now that I’m studying Kanji, she writes every new vocabulary word in Kana and Kanji. This definitely helps me with understanding the meaning of new words that I’m learning and memorizing the readings much better 💖 I’m so happy that I found Saki sensei, and I truly recommend her classes to anyone who is learning Japanese! 🇯🇵💖 サキひめ、本当にありがとう❣️

Lessons with Saki feel less like classes and more like meeting a friend who happens to be an excellent teacher. We can talk about anything — films, books, family, travel — and somehow I always learn something new along the way. Thank you!

Every time I leave the class I feel that I am better in many areas of the language from vocabulary to grammar. The classes are never boring and are always dynamic, it isn't your traditional class, it is a very safe environment and you never feel ashamed to speak. Saki-san is an amazing teacher and is able to make the class both fun and educational. If you are looking to start or improve your Japanese, I highly recommend the classes as you will not be disappointed! ありがとうございます

Saki creates a really comfortable space where you can just talk and stories flow naturally, but she also catches mistakes gently and teaches you new expressions in context. Always warm, always encouraging. Thank you.
