I am a certified native Japanese language instructor with 13 years of experiences. I have taught more than 1000 students from 20⁺ countries online and offline. I have lived in foreign countries like in the Philippines, US, Vietnam and India. After staying abroad many years, now I live in Japan with my Indian husband. One of the reasons why I teach Japanese is to help people understand and connect each other despite different background. Language helps us to express ourselves, to know others and to unite us as a human being. I believe the power of the language if we use them consciously and heartfeltly.

I really like the lessons. They are a stretch for me but she has a good way of making it fun and is always supportive. She is providing the conversation practice that was lacking in previous instructors.

I've been studying with sensei for about 3 months now, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her lessons! Sensei's lessons are always thoughtfully prepared, well structured, and highly customised to your needs. One perk is that sensei is very fluent in English, which means that if you're an English speaker trying to figure out more complex grammar, she's able to explain the nuances clearly with examples. Sensei also does not default to just doing a lot of drills (although if that's your thing I'm sure she's happy to cater to your needs!), she really figures out what your priorities are for learning and adjusts to them. I would highly recommend taking a class with her!

Takatsuka Sensei is the perfect mixture of firm and friendly. She really wants you to speak perfectly, and is clear when you have made a grammatical error, but the way that she lets you know is really nice and encouraging and motivates you to be better. I would definitely recommend her to any potential students.

I was anxious about speaking Japanese after a long time not using it, but Sonomi-san is very friendly and easy to talk to. We have talked about a variety of subjects, and our conversations have challenged me to try and express things in Japanese that I haven’t before. It has been good practice. I think she would be suitable for all levels.
