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.

私は教えない。I don't teach you. I'm a guide, trainer, and counselor of all the autodidacts. I am no longer a teacher who only teaches. I am a guide, a trainer, and a counselor of all the autodidacts. I try to get the most out of my learners and give them back what they need. Also, I don't think it is enough to just present the learning items. I want to support them in the process of learning as well. It is my greatest pleasure to see the results of our work together. 教えるだけの先生は卒業しました。私は独学者のガイドであり、トレーナーでもあり、カウンセラーでもあります。学習者から最大限引き出し、必要なものを加えて返していくよう心がけています。また、学習項目を提示するだけでは十分だと思いません。覚える過程も含めてサポートしていきたいです。そしてその成果を、双方で確認することを至上の喜びと感じています。

Improve Grammar, Pass JLPT N2–N5, and Practice Speaking! わたしは、5年ほど日本語を教えています。 ボランティアからスタートし、今は日本語学校で働いています。 わたしの学校には、大学や専門学校に進学したい人や、JLPTに合格したい人がたくさんいます。 そのため、進学指導やJLPTのサポートが得意です。 たとえば、作文の添削、面接練習、志望理由書のアドバイス、JLPTの勉強方法などを、一人ひとりに合わせて丁寧に教えています。 I have been teaching Japanese for about five years. I started as a volunteer and now work at a Japanese language school. Many of my students want to go on to university or vocational school in Japan, or pass the JLPT. So I specialize in supporting students with exam preparation and school applications. For example, I carefully help with writing corrections, interview practice, advice on personal statements, and how to study for the JLPT, tailored to each student’s needs.
