Hi everyone, I’m Mana! I was born and raised in Tokyo 🗼 and studied abroad in Irvine, California. I also briefly studied Fashion Business in Paris, and now am living in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺. I’m a Japanese tutor and also a life coach — which means I bring patience, curiosity, and encouragement into every lesson. My classes are relaxed and conversational, designed for learners who want to actually speak Japanese and enjoy the process. こんにちは、まなです! 東京生まれ&育ち、メルボルン在住です。 大学時代にカリフォルニアに留学してから語学の勉強が大好きになりました。 パリでファッションを学んだ経験もあり、さまざまな文化や考え方に触れるのが大好きです🤍 ネイティブと気軽に日本語を話してみたい方、ぜひ一緒に会話しましょう〜!

Mana was super friendly, patient, and knows her stuff. She made me feel comfortable right away and answered all my questions clearly. Can't wait for our next lesson. Highly recommend her to anyone wanting to work on their Japanese. Thanks, Mana!

Another fantastic lesson! I appreciate her ability to engage in authentic conversation - it never feels like Im “in class” but rather having a genuine chat .. this motivates me to learn Japanese because I actually want to engage in the material. Can’t recommend enough! :)

Wow - what a fantastic first lesson! She went at the perfect pace for me - she allowed me to repeat new sentence constructions so that I could get comfortable with them - It’s nice to have a skilled teacher who knows how to set a pace that promotes genuine learning. Highly recommended!

Great conversation-focused trial lesson. Mana was patient, clear, and very easy to talk with. She explained things well in English while also encouraging me to use Japanese during the lesson. The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive, which made it comfortable to try speaking without pressure. I’m looking forward to continuing conversation practice with her.
