Hello! I'm a certified Japanese teacher with 4 years of online teaching experience.
I'm calm, kind, and always happy to support your learning at your own pace.
I studied political science at university. I have lived in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo in Japan, as well as in France, Morocco, and Finland.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and making things with yarn. I like knitting, making beaded accessories, and crafting mats. I also enjoy designing hand-knitted socks🪴
I also love learning languages—I studied French at university, have explored Arabic and Finnish a little, and now I'm learning Russian.Me as a Teacher
I teach students who have already learned hiragana and katakana, ranging from upper beginners to advanced learners.
Having taught students from many different backgrounds and levels, I always strive to create a relaxed and friendly learning environment where students can enjoy learning and gain confidence in speaking.
My lessons are especially helpful for those who want to improve their speaking and listening skills. I’m particularly good at helping students practice natural, real-life conversation in Japanese. My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, we will mainly use well-known textbooks such as Genki (for beginner to pre-intermediate level) and 中級を学ぼう (for intermediate learners). I can also customize the lesson content depending on your goals and interests.
I encourage students to ask questions anytime and speak without worrying about making mistakes—practice is the key to improvement!My teaching material

Mana 先生 is always patient, friendly and encouraging. I enjoy every lesson we have together and it's been great to have her guidance as I'm self-learning from the Genki textbook. どもうありがとうございます〜

Great lesson with Mana-san. She is very approachable and delivers the lesson in a way that is easy to understand and not too overwhelming for learners. おすすめです！

ManaSan is wonderfull!
I had 7 hours of conversation lessons with her, and each time my japanese improve.
ManaSan is super kind, always smiling, and that makes the lessons really enjoyable.
We have real and casual conversations about many things: cinema, food, photos, travels, differentes cultures etc...
She always brings new vocabulary on these topics, and she also corrects my grammar if it's not good or doesnt sound natural for a native speaker.
I higly recommend ManaSan as your japanese teacher!

Mana has been an incredible Japanese teacher this Summer! She’s really helped me recap on grammar as well as providing interesting conversation and great tips for my upcoming travels in Japan. It has been such a pleasure to be taught by her.

Mana-sensei has everything you want in an Japanese teacher. She's really good at defining Japanese words, in Japanese, without stitching to English. She always understands my struggling sentences and offers the more natural way of saying the same thing. Most of all she is very pleasant, and always fun to talk to. Definitely one of my favorite teachers. Period.
