🌸 Japanese for Kids & Adults 🌸 Certified Japanese Teacher | Fun, Friendly & Personalized Lessons Hello! I'm Makiko, a certified Japanese teacher from Japan.🇯🇵 I teach both children and adults, from complete beginners to learners who want to improve their conversation skills. 🌱 KIDS LESSONS I have specialized training in teaching Japanese to children (AJLC Advanced Certificate) and over 8 years of experience teaching children. My lessons are fun and interactive, using pictures, games, songs, and conversation. Children learn to speak in sentences—not just memorize words! For school-age children, I also teach Hiragana, grammar, and practical Japanese for daily and school life. 🗣️ ADULT LESSONS Want to speak Japanese more naturally and confidently? We can practice practical conversation about travel, daily life, Japanese culture, food, hobbies, and more. Structured lessons using Minna no Nihongo or Irodori are also available. ✨ CERTIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE ・Registered Japanese Language Teacher (National Qualification in Japan) ・420-hour Japanese Teacher Training Course ・Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test ・AJLC Advanced Certificate for teaching children ・Experience at Japanese language schools, an international school, and online 🌏About me I have 3 children and love traveling, food, and learning about different cultures. Tell me about your country too! Lessons are mainly in Japanese, but I can use English when needed. After each lesson, I will send you a memo to help you review. Don't worry about making mistakes. Let's enjoy speaking Japanese together! 😊

Free talking with Makiko-san has been a blast! She is very patient when I have to think about what to say and gives great feedback for how to sound more natural.

Booked a first lesson with Makiko-sensei for my 5 year old and was amazed at how much energy she brought into the lesson, and was able to use different techniques to tease out the correct words and answers from my young one - her immediate feedback after the lesson verbatim was "I want more of that class".
