I teach each student at their level. My students say My explanation is very clear and my lesson is super instructive and effective but also always really fun.

My lessons & teaching style
★Grammar lesson
I use PowerPoint presentations, so you will be able to understand grammar rules, constructions and situations in which you can use them. If you are using “Genki”, “Minna no Nihongo” or "Tobira", I can teach them thoroughly. If you are interested in taking grammar lessons without textbook, please check the "Japanese for beginner" course.
★Textbook conversation lesson
If you learn grammar but need more experience to speak, Check the conversation from textbook course. you will love it.
★open conversation lesson
We will enjoy speaking Japanese. I pick up on errors in speaking and grammar.

The lesson with Ozaki-sensei was a lot of fun and her explanations were easy to understand. She used pictures and exercises to explain and practice the grammar points we just discussed. Because this was a trial lesson, we only had 30 minutes. I hope to book another lesson with Ozaki-sensei soon.

I have taken lessons with Ozaki-sensei for 3 years now and I have been able to increase my Japanese abilities so much thanks to her. With her help I have finished the entire Minna no Nihongo II textbook, passed the JLPT N4 and completed 65% of Tobira. As a teacher she is great at helping you figure out the most natural way to express yourself and gives corrections without making you feel bad for making mistakes. Her teaching materials are full of funny examples and photos that really help you visualize new grammar points and expressions. If you take lessons with Ozaki-sensei you will see your Japanese improve by leaps and bounds!

It took me a long time to decide on a teacher, but I'm glad I picked Nao san! I've had her classes for a few weeks now and I can say she is kind, encouraging and professional. She's attentive to the student's needs and will adapt the lesson accordingly. I had already studied some Japanese on my own, so she lets me practice grammar points I'm not so comfortable with or goes over grammar I'm not yet familiar with. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
I really enjoyed my lesson with Nao-sensei! I loved getting to read hiragana—it helped me feel more confident. She explained things so clearly. Thank you so much!
