Let’s immerse ourselves in a world of only Japanese .Want to use Japanese at work?Study together! Working with Japanese clients? Not sure how to introduce yourself and your job in Japanese? Let’s work on it together! As a teacher, I focus on creating a safe and relaxed space where students can feel comfortable speaking Japanese. We speak only in Japanese during lessons, but I use simple words, slow speech, and gestures to support your understanding. Mistakes are welcome and part of learning! I always respect your pace and goals — whether it’s grammar, conversation, or daily expressions.

If you’re looking for chill vibes and natural Japanese, you’re in the right place! わたしは にほんごきょうしの しかくを もっています。わたしの レッスンは しょきゅうしゃに いいです。 わたしも えいごを べんきょうしていますから、げんごを べんきょうすることの むずかしさが わかります。 げんごの べんきょうの ゴールは かんぺきな にほんごじゃ ありません。 げんごは コミュニケーションのためです。 わたしの じゅぎょうでは はなすきかいが たくさん あります。まちがえは いいですから、たくさん はなしましょう! I have a certificate as a Japanese teacher. My lessons are good for beginners. I’m also studying English, so I understand how difficult learning a new language can be. I believe that conversation is the most important part of learning a language. The goal is not to speak perfect Japanese. Language is for communication. In my lessons, you will have many chances to speak. It’s okay to make mistakes — let’s speak a lot and enjoy learning together!
