Hello, everyone!
I'm Sachi.
I'm a native Japanese speaker who was born and raised in Saitama prefecture.
When I turned 18, I moved to Nagano prefecture, where I went to college.
I worked for HONDA motor company for 2 years.
Then I started my career as a sports commentator & a speaking strategist.
Since I have a lot of professional speaking experience, I can give you a lot of specific tips on Japanese pronunciation, such as how to position your tongue properly when you speak Japanese.
As for many hobbies, I love traveling overseas, and during my free time, I like to go on walks and watch sports.
Let's enjoy studying with me!!Me as a Teacher
I have taught a lot of language and pronunciation lessons for beginning students, pageant contestants, and all sorts of other students, both as a professional commentator and as a speaking trainer.
With my experience, I'm confident I can teach you to explain your opinions to someone, how to use improve your pronunciation, and how to speak Japanese more fluently.
私はアナウンサーとして、スピーキングトレーナーとして、初心者の方や、コンテスタントなどへ沢山のトレーニング経験があります。

one of my favorite things about a lesson with Sachiko San is how casual and relaxed the conversations are. Having a comfort level to speak is extremely important.

A lesson with Sachiko San is a real treat. She is so much fun to talk with and very good at explaining things I do not understand.
