Turn Your Japanese into Real Conversation | Relaxed & Practical Lessons You already know some Japanese—but can you use it naturally? I’ll help you turn your knowledge into real communication.

I have experience teaching in volunteer classes, café-style lessons, language schools, and online. I have taught students at all levels, from beginner to advanced. My lessons are mainly in Japanese, with English support when needed. In conversation lessons, I give real-time feedback to help you sound more natural.

I have been learning Japanese for just over 2.5 years now on iTalki – but the last few months with Masako-sensei have improved my speaking confidence enormously. She is patient, engaged and full of encouragement. Every hour is dense, no awkward silences and it's always fun. I would highly recommend her to any student.

Masako San is an excellent teacher. She is not only very skilled and experienced with teaching, but also very patient, kind and funny. While she is a very diligent and prepared teacher, her classes are always enjoyable and rewarding. I can easily highly recommend!

I've already had more than 20 lessons with Masako-san, and I hope to have many more. I'm really glad I found her. Masako-san is very easy to talk to. Every week we discuss new topics, and our lessons are always fun and engaging. With Masako-san, I feel that my conversational ability is improving a lot.
