Hi, I’m Mei. Nice to meet you :) I was born and raised in Japan, studied in Canada, and worked in Dubai as a flight attendant. Through living and working abroad, I learned how to communicate naturally with people from many cultures. I now teach Japanese online, focusing on practical conversation and natural speech, not just memorizing grammar. My goal is to help you speak with confidence at your own pace. I teach in both English and Japanese, so beginners and shy speakers are very welcome. Lessons are calm, friendly, and tailored to your goals. Outside of teaching, I enjoy yoga, cooking, and reading. I look forward to helping you enjoy learning Japanese!

Me as a Teacher

I create a relaxed, supportive space where you can speak freely without pressure. I guide you in English or Japanese, depending on what helps you feel most comfortable and confident.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons focus on natural conversation and real communication. I give clear, gentle corrections so you can improve without pressure. We can talk about daily life, travel, hobbies, or any topic you enjoy.

Mei is an excellent teacher with a great energy and due to her patience I have become so much more confident with my Japanese in such a short time. Highly recommended.

Mei is a fantastic teacher, we had a wonderful lesson! We had a great conversation in Japanese, she adjusted to my level and gave feedback and helpful instructions. My confidence felt much higher at the end of the lesson. Additionally, she provides a pdf lesson summary afterwards, with topics covered and new vocabulary/phrases. I highly recommend taking lessons from Mei!
