traveling to AUS from Sep 10-15 🇦🇺 October calendar is fully open! You can be self taught, but you will realize how a language in actual communication can be totally different than in textbooks. (maybe anime too😅) If you'd like to master a language and be comfortable with communicating in another language, you can't escape from the steps of learning and understanding the culture. It helps you a lot for better communication for sure! Although you can easily collect information on the internet, you wouldn't know if that's true or not until you actually experience by talking to local people or visiting the country. And i am here to help you improve your Japanese and answer your questions/curiosity about Japan! I can possibly be your tour guide in Japan!

日本語、楽しんで身につけよう! Let's learn Japanese in a fun and effective way! Hello, my name is Yuki! 私の名前はユキです。 日本の東京で生まれて、ずっと東京に住んでいます。標準語を話します。 私は旅行をすることと、おいしいものを食べることが大好きです。 日本の中はもちろん、外国にもよく行きます。 私は、大学卒業後、編集者の仕事をしていました。 その後、日本の中学生に英語(主に基礎文法)を教える仕事を20年間以上しています。 数学や国語(日本語)を教えた経験もあります。 あなたと一緒に日本語を学びながら、日本語だけでなく、日本の文化や今のことなどを話せたらいいな、と思います。 あなたの文化や食べ物についても教えてもらえたら嬉しい! レッスンでお待ちしています! Japanese language is uniquely interesting. In a single sentence, you’ll often find three different writing systems working together to make the meaning clearer! I hope that as we learn Japanese together, I can share this charm with you. It would be wonderful not ony to explore the language but also to talk about Japanese culture and current topics. See you in my class! 【初級】テキストブック「GENKI」または「NIHONGO FUN&EASY」を使うクラス、テキストブックは使わずにスライドに沿ってレッスンするクラスがあります。どちらもしっかり、楽しく学べますよ! 【中級・上級】ご希望のテーマがあれば、それに沿ってレッスンをします。 そうでない場合は、私の提供するテーマに沿って、私がたくさん質問します。その答えを聞きつつ、間違えたところをチェックしし、自然な言い方の提案をしていきます。たくさん話しましょう! 🔶Beginner You can choose a class using a textbook such as GENKI or NIHONGO FUN & EASY, or a class using my slides without a textbook. Either way, you can learn Japanese step by step and have fun! 🔷Intermediate / Advanced If you have a topic you would like to talk about, we can use it in the lesson. If not, I will provide a topic and ask you lots of questions. As I listen to your answers, I’ll correct mistakes and suggest more natural ways to say things in Japanese. Let’s talk a lot!

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.

I also really enjoy how Sensei discusses the latest news and current events, then teaches me how to express my thoughts naturally in Japanese.

    Chieko Sensei is fantastic at teaching students who are preparing for the JLPT. She has great understanding of the exam structure and does an excellent job of analysing and breaking down the different question types. She also provides useful tips and strategies to help tackle each type of question more effectively. She goes further by identifying and explaining the different types of comprehension and listening questions that may appear in the exam. Her expertise and extensive knowledge of the JLPT have given me the confidence when approaching the questions. Aside from exam prep, she also takes time at the beginning of each lesson to catch up with me, which is really helpful in improving my conversational skills. Whenever we go through a passage, she asks me questions and encourages me to explain my thoughts and understanding. This not only helps to strengthen my comprehension but also gives me more opportunities to practise speaking.

    Natsumi is a truly exceptional teacher. I've taken around 20 lessons with her at this point, and they have been worth every penny. There's the fact that you learn tons of new vocabulary and grammar. But more importantly, Natsumi has the right attitude. She is supportive and easy to talk to — but at the same time, willing and able to push you to try out expressions, structures, and topics you otherwise wouldn't do on your own. TLDR: if you're reading this, you're wasting time. Book a lesson with Natsumi now, and never look back.

    Yoko sensei is a wonderful teacher whom I would recommend to anyone of any level. She is cheerful, very well-organized, and extremely encouraging. Yoko sensei is clearly very experienced, and uses cards/props to prompt you and convey meaning without interrupting the flow of conversation when I am trying to speak. She speaks fluent English so can help me when I get stuck, but does not let the conversation lapse into English, so I am pushed to keep trying in Japanese. Yoko sensei sends summaries of our key vocabulary from the lesson in a clear and helpful format after we have finished. A fantastic teacher who will help you with whatever your goals are in your Japanese learning journey.
