Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! Do you freeze when talking to people, even if you're okay with AI? One student told me, "I'm scared to fail with humans." Today, he confidently initiates conversations in Japanese! As a student of Psychology and Education, I focus on how to release tension and let words flow naturally. My priority isn't just fixing grammar; it's creating a "Safe Space" where you can fail without fear. Using insights from educational theory, I provide a relaxing environment that maximizes your learning. I dedicate my full energy to every session. Expect a high-quality experience where you'll discover something new and finish feeling refreshed and lighter. Let’s turn your anxiety into confidence together!

JLPT N1/N2 Reading Strategy|Structured Exam Preparation My teaching style is analytical, structured, and goal-oriented. Students say I explain grammar clearly, but what makes my lessons different is the strategy training for JLPT reading. We don’t just read. We break down the structure of the text. We learn how exam questions are created. We practice solving efficiently. Advanced Japanese is abstract and layered. I teach you how to navigate that complexity. Mistakes are welcome — they are clues to improve your score.

Would you like to learn FLUENT JAPANESE from "1 of Top 1% JAPANESE teachers of italki in 2022" ? DO YOU WANT TO BE A FLUENT JAPANESE SPEAKER? Grammar lessons with "NO text books!" Many pictures and examples are used to make you think and make sentences in Japanese! You will get a bunch of opportunities to speak and listen to Japanese, and that makes you become a NATURAL JAPANESE SPEAKER! You will learn Japanese language, Japanese way of thinking and culture in my lessons :) I believe if you only master Japanese language but you don't understand its culture and people, it doesn't mean anything. The most fun part of learning language is to understand different culture and people. For you, the happiest moment would be sharing laughter with Japanese people by using your own Japanese!

Thanks for reading my profile. Here are the lessons what I teach mainly. -Japanese conversation (beginner/advanced) -Learn Japanese step by step (Japanese letters and grammars based by Minnano Nihongo) -Business Japanese (beginner/advanced) -Intensive lesson for JLPT (N5-N1) But if you have any questions for Japanese or requests, I can give you the lesson too. (Leaning Japanese song, reading Japanese novels, understanding Japanese comedy etc...) My youngest students were 6 years old. I like teaching to kids too. To study and speak a foreign language opens your world and mind on a level which can’t be measured. Let’s study Japanese together and open the world around you!

たくさん日本語で話しましょう! Thank you for visiting my page! While pursuing my master’s degree in Germany, I have also been teaching Japanese at a university. I am capable of teaching students ranging from beginners to advanced learners. My lessons can be conducted using only Japanese as much as possible, with controlled vocabulary adjustments according to the student’s level. I believe the true value of lessons lies in providing time for output and communication with a native speaker :) Of course, if you would like grammar-focused lessons, I can offer those as well. I will tailor the lessons to your preferences!
