Start Strong, Speak More, Shine in 2026! 🎯 Clarity through Immersion My philosophy: Understanding leads to Confidence. I prioritize using Japanese in class, but I bridge the conceptual gap by explaining the "why" behind grammar when needed. As a "teacher of teachers," I know exactly where learners get stuck. I break down complex rules into simple, logical steps. Rather than just translating, I help you understand how Japanese people think, so the language finally "clicks." I create a warm and friendly atmosphere where mistakes are celebrated as progress. I’m not just your teacher; I’m your coach, dedicated to your growth and individual journey.

Be more confident in speaking than you are now! I have experience in teaching languages to a wide variety of people. I can therefore advise on how to motivate learners and their individual goals. I like new cultures and games, so I could also teach new words such as Japanese internet slang. I also have experience teaching English at an English school in Japan for beginners. I continue to learn English. Language is a living thing and constantly evolves. I believe learning a language never ends apart from the goals that you set for yourself. And as a learner, I understand how my students feel. As a native Japanese speaker, I would like to help Japanese language learners as much as possible.

Chill, Casual, Cheers! My Japanese is all about that standard Japanese vibe. And when it comes to my English, working at foreign companies, I’m basically handling it with ease. Now, here's the deal with our lessons: Don't stress about being perfect – the more mistakes, the more progress. Don't give up too quickly. Before you call it quits, pause, think, and feel free to ask. I'll hang tight until you come up with that word or phrase. Above all, let's keep it relaxed and enjoyable. If we're not having a good time, it could get a bit dull. So, just be yourself, bring your best effort, and chat with me like we're catching up with family. Let's stay genuine and make language learning enjoyable!

Welcomes students at all levels—from complete beginners to those with some experience and beyond! I'll create a personalized lesson plan just for you, based on your goals, strengths, and things you'd like to improve. That’s why I really value good communication during our lessons. I’ve been teaching Japanese for 6 years since getting my teaching certificate in Tokyo. Even before that, I was volunteering as a Japanese tutor. As someone who’s learned English and a few other languages, I know how tough it feels when you start learning a language from scratch—so I always try to make lessons fun and easy to stick with. I also love sharing about Japanese culture, so you’ll get more out of your lessons and enjoy your future time in Japan even more!

Let's enjoy studying Japanese! 翻訳の仕事をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

You will want to continue because it’s fun! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language (especially Kanji! ><) I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫
