こんにちは 😊
◇ Struggling with Japanese as a beginner?
◇ Want to learn *real* language and culture from someone who’s been in your shoes?
I’m a self-taught Japanese language enthusiast who started from absolute zero—just like you!
Growing up in Croatia, where Japanese isn’t spoken at all, I faced the same challenges many beginners do: lack of resources, no native speakers to practice with, and that overwhelming feeling of "Where do I even start?"
But here’s the good news: those struggles became my greatest teachers.
Through years of trial and error, I discovered how to learn effectively outside Japan—no immersion required. I want to share those hard-earned lessons with you!
Up until now, I have been teaching for more than two years now and I really enjoy it.
I have premade lessons that I use for teaching, but of course, I can organize lessons to one's wishes.
In my lessons, I try to use as many as possible different resources for learning and I can promise you that a class with me won't be boring.
I'm trying to be professional as much as possible, but I would like to create a relaxed atmosphere so that we can learn with a smile on our faces.
I have a lot of different teaching materials that can be used in the lesson - from textbooks to pictures, useful weblinks, and so on.
You don't have to buy any additional materials, because I will give you everything you would need.
Just bring with you a smile!My teaching material

Learning Japanese with Klara has been one of the most enjoyable and motivating experiences I’ve had. She brings so much kindness, patience, and genuine care into every lesson. Her teaching style makes even challenging topics feel approachable, and she always finds ways to make learning fun and meaningful. What stands out most is how dedicated she is, you can tell she truly cares about her students’ progress and well-being. I’m so grateful to have her as my tutor and couldn’t recommend her more highly!
