🌸Having your partner join our lesson is absolutely okay, but please let me know in advance when you book my lesson. 🌸 I specialize in teaching natural Japanese, especially to beginners. 💡if you are at an advanced level (above N2), I might NOT be the right teacher for you🙇‍♀️ 🎊 "Awarded Top 1% tutor on italki 2022" 🎊 Especially for beginners, I have plenty of experience teaching Japanese and guiding students through the basics. I’m also a language learner, so I understand how challenging it can be. Don’t worry if you’re just starting—I’m happy to explain everything in English if needed. As a friendly and approachable teacher, feel free to ask me anything anytime. Let’s make learning Japanese fun together! ☆会話練習（かいわれんしゅう） * Daily conversation * Free talk * Specific topics, etc. ☆発音練習（はつおんれんしゅう） * Correct Pronunciation ☆読む練習（よむれんしゅう） * Reading books * Reading cartoons etc. I'm a cheerful and friendly person so my lessons are fun! I’m looking forward to teaching you Japanese!

Kazumi is always patient and explains things in different ways to help me with tough grammar points I'm struggling with.

Today Kazumi Sensei kindly help me with lots of JLPT question types including grammar, sentence structure and listening. Practising with Kazumi Sensei makes me more confident about the test 😊 I also learned that it’s important to read and listen to the question very carefully! 😄 いつもありがとうございます！

Today Kazumi Sensei and I chatted about ANZAC Day and Karaoke 🎤 Because I recently got a cat, Kazumi Sensei kindly prepared a lesson full of pet vocabulary 😸 and also answered a JLPT question that had confused me all week! Another very helpful and fun lesson, ありがとうございました！

Ian always amazed by how much I learn with Kazumi sensei’s encouragement and patience. I am still a beginner but it is such a sense of accomplishment to learn new things. Today I learned about money and time. The repetition during class really helps and I so much appreciate each new phase I learn. Kazumi sensei is great!
