Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching Japanese online since 2018. I have done over 2600 lessons on another platform. Since I also do lessons in German, I have many students from the German speaking countries but of course, I also teach to people from all over the world.
I like to analyse things so if you have any questions about particles or grammar and if you can't find the correct answers, I will try to explain until you understand. So please feel free to ask me questions anytime. You can also send me a message, even if it's not during the lesson. If you want me to correct small details of your Japanese speaking skills, I am happy to help you speak more naturally.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will be for people over 12 years old. I usually don't use textbooks but I can teach both grammar and conversation. After my lessons I will send a revision document that I made.
If you'd like to prepare for a trip to Japan, we can also practice situational conversations. For example, in hotels, shopping, restaurants etc.
There are also many different styles of speech in Japanese such as very polite, very casual, elderly, young and samurai etc. Sometimes if you study only from textbooks, you will not be able to recognize those differentiations. I would like to explain what the difference is and what we usually use in our daily life. We can also practice casual conversation styles.

Kariya Sensei is very kind and patient. I appreciate how she is able to nitpick all of my mistakes in Japanese in a way that is not discouraging and give good explanations to help adjust them. I highly recommend Kariya Sensei, especially for Japanese learners outside of Japan.先生、ありがとうございました!

My lesson with Rena was incredible! Within the lesson, we explored a series of new tense forms for speech, in addition to learning methods to apply my current 'textbook' speech in a more conversational and casual form. Rena explained ideas that were quite difficult in a manner that was thoroughly simplified; easy to understand and digest! With other teachers that I have experienced, I have found their speech and explanations to be relatively confusing, which made it much harder to enjoy this process of learning. I am extremely excited to have found her as a teacher, and I look forward to having many other lessons within future.

Rena sensei has been helping me with lots of a vocabulary and grammar. My Japanese skills are increasing with every lesson, and it's a really rewarding experience.
She is incredibly patient and kind. At the beginning we worked through my broken Japanese and was great at explaining all the nuances of Japanese and what corrections were needed to improve.
I'm now getting a bit more consistent with my language flow and the speaking is coming a little more naturally with every lesson!

Rena san is super patient and knowledgable! She is able to translate my thoughts very well and doesn't ever rush me when I'm thinking about what to say or recalling my thoughts.
She is super helpful with her notes and is very easy to talk to. I'm now able to hold a conversation with her and it feels so rewarding. I'd definitely recommend her for lessons as she is an amazing teacher!
