Chill, Casual, Cheers! Hey there! 👋 Welcome to my profile! I’m a native Japanese speaker currently living in Japan after taking an incredible 1.5-year round-the-world journey through South America, Africa, and Asia. 🌱 A little about my journey: Over the past decade, I’ve explored more than just tourist spots. I’ve lived with the Maasai tribe in Kenya, spent 50days living off the land with indigenous people in the Amazon, practiced Vipassana meditation with monks in Southeast Asia, and hiked solo through Patagonia. I’ve also worked in the TV industry and spent years in tech sales at an international company in Tokyo, working alongside colleagues from all over the world. 💬 Why I’m on italki: Now, as a freelancer in Japan, I’m here because I love sharing ideas, connecting through deep conversations, and learning about different cultures. I don’t treat lessons like formal lectures—think of me as your language buddy and storytelling partner! 🎯 Our lessons are great for you if: You want to level up your natural Japanese conversation skills. You enjoy talking about travel, culture, mindfulness, career, or life philosophies. You want a supportive space where we can easily switch to English whenever you get stuck! Let's make learning Japanese fun, meaningful, and part of your everyday life. Send me a message or book a trial lesson—I can’t wait to hear your stories too! ✨

I've been taking Japanese lessons with Mizuki for over a month now and it's been such an amazing experience! He's very friendly, helpful, and overall really fun to talk with and practice Japanese with. He's been very accommodating with planning role play scenarios and taking notes for me. I highly recommend working with Mizuki if you want to take your Japanese to the next level!

I had a great lesson with Mizuki. His high energy keeps me engaged and motivated to keep speaking. He corrected my grammar and gave me a lot of new words to learn. Thanks for being so attentive and engaging!

Mizuki san is an excellent teacher! He's incredibly patient, friendly and encouraging, and I appreciate that he puts me at my ease as I try to practice my spoken Japanese. He has a knack for explaining the nuances of certain words and phases and I appreciate that he pushes me to practice more advanced structures and vocabulary. After just three classes, I already feel more confident in my Japanese. I'm looking forward to my next lesson. Thank you!

So far only 2 lessons with Mizuki but I really enjoy talking with him. Lessons are very casual and feel more like a fun conversation than a lesson, which is nice. I was super nervous for my first lesson but Mizuki was very patient and adjusted his level to match my understanding. Would highly recommend!
