Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! I've been a Japanese teacher for 5 years, with 3 years on italki and 2 at other institutions. I started studying education and psychology at university in 2025. My goal is to create a safe and understanding learning environment that boosts learning outcomes. I prioritize building a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn comfortably. Due to work and university commitments, I can only offer up to 3 hours of lessons per day. However, I use my experience to pack each lesson with valuable learning. I've conducted over 2,000 lessons on italki and around 500 at my previous company. With limited time, I strive to deliver at least one new discovery in every lesson.

Why? I am a teacher in italki, I would like to respond to the feelings that everyone whom I met in italki wants to be good at Japanese.If you learn how to study Japanese with my correct method in a few our lessons and change how to study Japanese. you can dramatically improve your Japanese language skill by yourself. I think that Just being able to speak correct Japanese is meaningless. I want you to acquire practical Japanese that you can play an important role of various business situations of Japan with your ability of overcoming difficulties "language is power" So, in Japan where population decline is regarded as a problem, I really hope that you become a Japan New power !!

I can assist absolute beginner to highly advanced level students (including N5-N1 preparation), who are willing to manage aspects of their own learning. Thanks to many of my students, I have been become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers at italki. I use PPT and Word documents to explain grammar points, etc. in English. My native tongue is Japanese, but I am trained and qualified to teach in Australia and I am more comfortable to explain Japanese in English. This may be more advantageous for English speakers. I may use less to no English for advanced students.
