My name is Rie. I was born and raised in Japan. I graduated university in the United States. I’ve lived in Singapore for 2 years and the states for several years.

I have experience teaching Japanese from beginner to proficient level students. I help prepare for interviews, Japanese exams, daily conversations, for travel, watching and understanding Japanese movies and anime without subtitles. I'm excited to help you better understand Japanese culture and any questions you may have.

I've had 9 lessons with Rie-sensei now, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is very patient with me (I am still very novice!) and engages with me brilliantly, and has made me feel very comfortable trying to push myself and try to give more complex answers which is helping me a lot - and should say a lot as I am not made comfortable very easily! She's excellent, a great listener, encouraging and just very very good at what she does.

I asked for conversation practice and that's what I got. Rie communicated well at my level of Japanese, while making notes about my errors and problems. It all went well and was a fun lesson.

"The Best Teacher in Town".
Rie sensei will teach you grammar and a lot of vocabulary that are useful in daily conversation. She always listens to you very attentively and helps to correct your grammar. A very bright and sunny person that you can feel very safe and comfortable to talk with. Learn a lot of stuff and have a lot of fun in each lesson.
Thank youuuuu!

Today's lesson was a free talk lesson and it was great as usual! I feel like I've gotten rusty but I'm so glad Rie-sensei would slow down, jot down some forgotten/unknown words and understand me :'> I look forward for the next lesson!
