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 💁‍♀️.

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.

Je prends des cours avec Nao sensei depuis mon arrivée au Japon, elle m'aide beaucoup à progresser à l'oral. Et même si je ne suis pas encore confiante pour parler en Japonais, je suis toujours à l'aise pendant ses leçons. Nao sensei est très gentille et patiente, je la recommande vivement ! Et, si vous parlez un peu anglais, elle pourra vous aider pour comprendre le vocabulaire ou vous traduire des mots pendant la conversation.

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!

Nao is so amazing. She is very well informed and easy to learn from. I was a little nervous at first but she has a calm demeanor that makes you feel relaxed as well. She answers every question I have and then describes the answers. She walks through the questions and helps pronunciation when needed. She comes prepared each lesson and I always leave knowing more. I look forward to continuing the lessons and reaching my goals.
