Speak Japanese confidently with an experienced business professional. Born and raised in Japan, I’ve spent over 20 years thriving in global corporate environments, which has allowed me to embrace a broad, open-minded perspective. While I understand and appreciate Japan’s unique culture, I value a multifaceted approach that goes beyond traditional boundaries. This mindset has shaped the way I communicate, blending flexibility with cultural understanding. As a language tutor, I prioritize communication over perfection, focusing on real-world practice and meaningful conversations. I help you use Japanese for genuine interaction, building fluency and confidence through practical use.

I believe that the easy point and difficult point in learning Japanese through teaching Japanese to many foreigners living in Japan. However, I’ll make you understand the complex part using the secret way that I got from my experiences. In learning languages, I think it’s essential to enjoy using them and like their culture. Therefore, I’ll give you a class proving both of them. Also, it’s important to make a mistake to speak new languages, don’t be afraid of it, and keep using Japanese! 多くの日本在住の外国人に日本語を教えてきて、日本語の簡単なところと難しい所を理解しているつもりです。しかしながら、今までの経験で得た独自の方法で難しい所を理解させるように努めます。私個人としては言語を学ぶにおいて大切なことはその言葉を使うことを楽しむこととその国の文化を好きになることだと思っているので、その二つを提供できるクラスを行います。また、言語を学ぶにおいて間違えることは大切なことなので、間違いを恐

Absolute beginner? Planning a trip to Japan? Try lessons that finally make things “click”! 💡 Why choose me? I specialize in explaining Japanese grammar in clear, natural English. I know where English speakers often get stuck—and how to help you move forward quickly. Many of my students say they finally understood things that other teachers couldn’t explain. Some tell me, “I’ve been confused for months, but now it makes sense in one lesson!” My lessons are priced higher than many others on italki, but they’re designed to be efficient and results-driven. If you want to save time and make fast, meaningful progress, my teaching style may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Your bilingual cross-cultural specialist 🌊 Express yourself with cultural cognizance while staying true to your authentic self 🎋🏮 I focus on facilitating your voice, i.e. student-generated output. This will include journaling/writing assignments and structured speaking challenges, as well as more free-form conversations for upper-beginner+ students who so desire. Above all, our lessons together will be compassionate to both the cultural and linguistic standpoints of a non-native learner. Japanese is a complex but also incredibly flexible language: I can equip you with the most efficient conversational “tricks” that natives use in everyday communication — but won’t skimp on important foundational grammar, either.

Beginners(from the scratch) to N1+ everyone is welcome 🤗 For me, it is very important that you study hard. Learning a new language requires an investment of time. The more you learn, the better your language skills will be. I want my students to study as much as they can, not just in our class. Any activities you do in Japanese, you can call to study; reading mangas, watching animes, listening to music, etc... I can also give you some homework if you wish. I look forward to getting to know you ^_^
