Hi everyone! My name is Nao, Nice to meet you!
I live in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, a place known for its delicious rice and sake 🌾🍙🍶. I've also lived in Tokyo for 10 years and in the United States for 4 years. Currently, I am living near the beach, enjoying a relaxed life in the countryside, playing drums in a band, and surfing 🏝️✨.
I love art and nature, especially films, music, beaches, and mountains 🎬🎵🌊⛰️. I love listening to people and discovering new worlds through their stories 🤩. I have around 10 years of experience in work support 💁♀️.Me as a Teacher

Nao-sensei has a very bright personality and feels very easy to talk to, and speaks to me in an easy to understand way! I look forward to our future lessons!

This was an amazing one-on-one class. The more we talked, the more fun and engaging it became. I genuinely looked forward to every moment of the lesson.

Had my first lesson ever with Nao san and I really enjoyed it! I liked her calm, kind tone and slow pace of speaking and explaining. She asked me a lot of questions and explained all my questions patiently. She is able to adjust to my level easily, so that we can have an actual conversation even with my intermediate Japanese :) ありがとうございました！

Naoさん was very patient and understanding. Even though I was nervous and could barely form sentences, she was reassuring and kind the whole lesson. I’m looking forward to my next lesson with her.
