Hello. I’m Sayuri, a Japanese teacher.
Thank you so much for visiting my profile.
🌼 From : Hyogo, Japan (I can also teach Kansai dialect!)
🌼 Things I love : Enjoying quiet time with a coffee, going hiking with my family, travelling, reading, and seeing my children’s faces in the morning
My biggest strength is creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere where it's easy to talk.
Of course, I value teaching correct Japanese, but more than that, I want you to truly enjoy the time we spend together.
Let's not just build knowledge, but also experience the joy of speaking Japanese - just like having a friendly chat over a cup of coffee☕.
Me as a Teacher
I have 5 years of experience as a teacher and 2 years as a tutor, with around 1,500 hours of online lessons and I’ve taught students of many different nationalities and age groups so far.
I spent a year in South Korea and seven years in the UK, enjoying the differences in language and culture. Because of that, I truly understand the excitement, the challenges, and sometimes the nerves that come with learning a new language. My lessons & teaching style
My main focus is on everyday conversation, but I also support you preparing for the JLPT or learning useful Japanese for travel and other specific purposes.
I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where you feel comfortable speaking without fear of making mistakes. I always try to tailor lessons to each learner’s individual goals and pace.

Since starting conversation classes with Sayuri-sensei my speaking confidence has significantly increased. She prepares interesting topics and questions for me to talk about so our time during the class is well-utilised. The one hour classes pass so quickly! Sayuri-sensei has also provided feedback for each session which is great for tracking progress. Conversation classes with Sayuri-sensei is like having a catch up with a friend, looking forward to the next one!

Sayuri Sensei was very kind, encouraging, and an absolute expert at keeping the conversation going. She has a keen sense for when to focus on fluency vs. zeroing in on a error correction or teachable moment. Highly recommend!
