Wherever you are in your Japanese journey, I'll get you to that 'wait, I understood that!' moment! ■ About Me Hi everyone, I’m Mayumi, but you can call me May! I’ve been teaching Japanese in Melbourne, Australia for 10+ years and am proud to be ranked in the top 1% of Japanese teachers on italki. I also have experience as an instructor for Japanese Teacher Training Courses. Before teaching, I worked for 8 years as an Executive Assistant at a major gaming company in Tokyo, so I can help with not only daily conversation, but also Business Japanese, polite expressions, and workplace manners for those planning to live, study, or work in Japan. I’m relaxed, friendly, and easy-going, and I love making your Japanese journey fun and rewarding. ■ Lesson Style I always take time to understand each student’s goals and learning style, then create lessons that match their needs. My classes are enjoyable, stress-free, and easy to follow, helping students feel confident to participate. My teaching style is mainly Japanese-only, adjusted to your level, but English explanations are also available when needed. ■ How I Can Help You I teach a wide range of Japanese skills, from beginner conversation to advanced speaking, Business Japanese, and practical communication. I speak clearly, provide visual materials (especially for beginners), and focus on speaking practice with natural correction to improve fluency and confidence. My goal is that after every lesson, you leave with something useful you can use in real life! I am looking forward to meeting you soon :)

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

Certified JP Teacher / 5-yrs-Experience / Fluent in English / Business Expertise About Me ⭐ I have been teaching Japanese professionally for over 5 years. I also hold qualifications including Guide Interpreter, TOEIC 935, and EIKEN Grade 1. 🔥 I have worked for trading and shipping companies for decades, so I have broad business expertise in both Japanese and English. 🌏 I have been a globetrotter, traveling to over 60 countries. Recently, however, I enjoy traveling in the Japanese countryside, experiencing nature and hot springs. 💖 Having worked in the hospitality industry, I have always considered myself a sociable person. In 2020, I started teaching Japanese to business professionals at a community center here in Tokyo. I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2021 and completed a training course in teaching Japanese using English, offered by WJLC in Australia in 2022. My Lessons & Teaching Style 🍎 I can teach Japanese to complete beginners in English. I use introductory textbooks, but I also use conversation-based materials for those planning to visit Japan who are less focused on grammar. 🥝 To improve speaking skills, I encourage you to speak as much as possible. You can choose topics you are familiar with, or I can send you recent news articles every week so you can choose one or two and share a summary and your opinions with me. 🍊 I teach business Japanese (Keigo), business email writing, reading various materials, JLPT N1 and N2, and job interview preparation. My lessons are always tailored to your goals and needs.

Top 1% Japanese Teacher! Learn to Speak Like a Local with a Native Teacher My lessons are focused on helping you actually improve your Japanese, not just practice it. I know a lot of conversation lessons can feel easy, but you don’t always know what you’re doing wrong. In my lessons, I actively correct your sentences and explain how to make them sound more natural. This is something many of my students say they were missing before. I mainly focus on real, natural Japanese, both casual and polite, so you can use what you learn in real conversations, not just in textbooks. At the same time, I keep the lessons structured so you always know what you’re improving. My goal is for you to leave each lesson with something clear that you can use right away.

🗣️ Speak from day one – beginners welcome 💛 Practical Japanese 🗼 Trip preparation Hi! I am Fuka. I love traveling and meeting new people, trying new things and learning about different cultures. I always wanted to see the world for as long as I can remember. That was my motivation to learn English. Not to study it, but to USE it. So even though I didn’t get to study English or travel outside of Japan as a child, I loved watching movies and TV shows in English and dreamed of adventuring around the world on my own, using English to make it possible. Now I am a teacher here on italki and also a digital nomad for the past few years. I enjoy both being outdoors and a couch potato, talking with people, taking photos, chasing sunsets, surfing and feeding random cats. I’m not big on studying per se. I believe we get good at what we are motivated to do. Language learning is not a simple process, and there are lots of ways to do it. If your focus is conversation and practical use, my lessons would be perfect for you. I do have teacher certification as a Japanese instructor. And I can also help explain passages and patterns in English. I will use conversation starters and textbooks to get you speaking, but your italki time is your time. We will talk about issues and do practical exercises that you are interested in.
