Hi everyone, I'm Mayumi. My friends and students call me May. I've been teaching Japanese for the past 10 years in Melbourne, Australia. (I am ranked in the top 1% Japanese teacher on italki 2022!) I worked as an Executive Assistant at one of the biggest gaming companies in Tokyo Japan for 8 years before coming to Melbourne. So I have excellent Japanese Business Skills such as Business manners, Business Japanese and Honorific Japanese. I am relaxed and very easy-going. In my spare time I like being in nature. I also like to explore town to discover good food. And love baking sourdough, this is one of the skills that I have developed during a lockdown in Melbourne 2020!

May先生 is truly an amazing teacher. Every lesson is consistent in quality and May’s ability to explain grammar (in all Japanese) in an easy-to-understand way is unmatchable! I struggled going through 新完全マスターN3 by myself and dropped it. With May先生, I not only have now finished the book, but also understood FAR more than I thought. My goal is the N2 test, so I’m excited to work with May to achieve my goal of N2 in 2024 :)! Thank you May and I can’t wait to see you in my next lesson!

先生のレッスンはとても専門的で、敬語の基本からビジネスでよく使える日本語を全部学ぶことができます。 おかげで、私は履歴書を完成することから面接を成功することをできました。 もし、日本企業で働きたい外国の方があれば、先生のレッスンをお勧めです! In May-Sensei's lessons, you can learn from the foundamental of the Honorific speech of Japanese to the phrases of Japanese for business purpose. Thanks to May-Sensei, I have successfully finished my Japanese resume and passed the interview. If you are a non-Japanese speaking person but would like to work in Japanese company, I strongly recommed May-Sensei's lessons to you!

Always an amazing class with May Sensei - she is one of the best teachers I have ever had, and the best decision I have made in this journey to study Japanese! She is incredibly patient, thoughtful and kind, while being firm in encouraging progress. She does an amazing job in gauging your level and advancing you with the appropriate challenges and exercises, while motivating you to reach the next level. I appreciate all the consideration, hard work and creativity she puts into her class content and structure. Her positive and encouraging attitude and engaging teaching style has made the learning particularly rewarding. I am so grateful to be studying under her guidance - I definitely recommend her classes regardless of your level!

I've been taking lessons with May San for a couple years now and she's been nothing but an amazing teacher! she creates such a positive & Friendly atmosphere and provides easy to understand explanations. I really appreciate the way she takes time to make sure you understand whatever material you want to learn. She can teach you in English as well, so it can put you at ease if you're not ready for the lesson to be fully in Japanese. I really recommend her!
