[What We Can Cover Together ] Beginners: Travel-ready phrases and polite, friendly basics (Beginners are more than welcome!) Daily Conversation: Moving past textbook Japanese to sound totally natural Pronunciation: Fixing accent and pronunciation habits so you sound clear, natural, and confident Business & JLPT: A 90%+ JLPT pass rate, plus proven success helping students land jobs in Japan If you feel like your Japanese is grammatically correct but just doesn't sound right yet, I'd love to help.
