Build strong Japanese skills, step by step 🎯 As a teacher, I focus on helping learners truly understand Japanese, not just memorize rules. Many learners tell me that Japanese grammar feels confusing, especially when learning in English. I explain grammar points clearly in English when needed, and then guide you to use them naturally in Japanese. Because I’ve taught for many years, I can adjust explanations and pacing depending on how you learn best. I aim to create a calm, supportive atmosphere where you feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I also work as a trainer for native Japanese teachers, which helps me stay mindful of teaching quality and clarity in every lesson.
