Speak Japanese fluently and confidently! Hello! My name is Chiharu and live in Osaka. I am a native speaker with a broad vocabulary. I enjoy traveling, movies, reading, gardening and eating ramen🍜. I love to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I've traveled to 45 of Japan's 47 prefectures, so I can recommend places to visit here. Outside of Japan, I’ve been to the United States, Canada, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Greece and Italy. I'd love to visit more places. Please share me some spots and food in your country. For over 10 years at universities, I have helped international students and improve their Japanese language skills, taught them Japanese customs, and supported them in making their lives in Japan smoother. I understand how difficult it can be to learn Japanese and get used to different customs. In my lessons, we’ll focus on practical Japanese conversation—whether it's for travel, daily life, or polite business settings. Planning a trip to Japan? I’ll make sure you’re fully prepared to navigate smoothly. If you need Japanese for business, I can help you master polite language and cultural nuances to communicate confidently and respectfully. I will tailor lessons to fit your goals and needs, so we can enjoy learning Japanese together and reach the next level!

I’ve taught English at a Japanese cram school for junior and senior high school students for 2 years, and worked in childcare where I encouraged young learners to use English in daily activities. I also volunteered to teach English at a local kindergarten. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in my teaching — skills that are just as important for adult learners as for children. Combined with my nursing background, I’m good at listening carefully and making students feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and learn natural, everyday Japanese without feeling pressured.

Customized lesson for your ideal goal(16+ years experience for teaching Japanese) Failure is the mother of success.失敗こそ成功の母 Shippai koso Seikou no Haha This philosophy has guided my 16+ years of teaching Japanese. I help learners overcome the fear of mistakes through supportive, confidence‑building instruction. I learned English entirely in Japan (my only overseas trip was three days in Hawaii!). This experience helps me explain Japanese concepts clearly using English scaffolding. As I could learn English in Japan, you can learn Japanese wherever you are—once you’re ready to embrace mistakes and grow from them. As a Harry Potter generation teacher, I make lessons engaging with pop culture such as music, anime, and manga. At the same time, JLPT preparation and business Japanese are part of my expertise, so lessons can be customized to your goals. My teaching journey began in high school, volunteering in a language center’s newcomer class. In university, I worked at an international school, teaching pronunciation. The letters written in Japanese that I received from students are still precious to me. Customized Japanese Lessons Tailored to Your Interests In our trial lesson, we’ll assess your level and set clear goals. We’ll create a personalized plan to reach your ideal proficiency. Learning Materials (interest‑based and practical): ✨Travel Prep ✨J‑POP lyric analysis ✨Movie & anime openings/endings ✨Daily conversation practice ✨JLPT materials (if needed) ✨Business situation Training Let’s work together to speak sophisticated, natural Japanese😊

Speak Japanese with Confidence | Clear, Structured Lessons for Adult Learners Hi, I’m Satsuki, a professional Japanese teacher based in Tokyo 😊 I teach adult learners who want to understand Japanese clearly, speak with more confidence, and know what to study next. My lessons are friendly and relaxed, but also clear, structured, and goal-focused 🌱 I do not simply follow one textbook. I choose materials and lesson methods based on your level, goals, and learning style. You will always understand what we are studying, why it is important, and how to use it in real communication. Rather than only memorizing phrases, you will learn how Japanese works and how to create your own sentences. I teach complete beginners, self-study learners, conversation learners, and professionals who need polite or business Japanese. I studied linguistics at university and began teaching Japanese while I was still a student. After graduating, I taught Japanese in Thailand for two years. I later built a career in HR at Japanese and global companies before returning to Japanese teaching full-time. I am originally from Hokkaido and have also lived in the United States and Thailand 🌏 I understand how challenging it can be to learn, live, and communicate in another language and culture. You can relax, make mistakes, and ask questions anytime. I will not pressure you, but I will guide you clearly and help you keep moving forward. Please feel free to book a trial lesson or a regular lesson anytime. I’m looking forward to meeting you 😊
