Japanese teacher with 15+ years of experience. Clear grammar explanations! Hello! I obtained my certification as a Japanese teacher in 2009 and taught at a Japanese language school in Melbourne from 2010 to 2016. After returning to Japan in 2016, I started teaching on italki, where I've conducted over 6,800 lessons for more than 300 students. My lessons cover all levels, from beginner to advanced, and are tailored to meet students' needs, including JLPT preparation, travel phrases, and everyday conversation. I use plenty of illustrations and sometimes English to help beginners feel comfortable. I always strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment with a friendly approach.

Multilingual | 10+ Years,12,000+ Hours Teaching Experience | Tailored Lessons for Professionals |懂中文 In every session, I strive to follow the approach of "teaching a man to fish for a lifetime instead of giving him a fish for a day," fostering independent learning and long-term skill development. This approach is inspired by my experiences of learning foreign languages while living in cities like Beijing, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Istanbul, and Vientiane, which helped me understand the challenges of language acquisition. I am committed to helping you enrich your career and personal life through learning Japanese. Most of my students have regular weekly slots, so my availability is limited. However, feel free to contact me to discuss your preferred time, and I will do my best to accommodate you.
