Hello! I'm Mai😊
I’m a professional Japanese tutor with over 1,500 online lessons (across platforms). I majored in English and linguistics at university and studied abroad in the UK and Germany, so I understand cultural differences between Europe and Japan✨
I’ve loved music since childhood and have played piano, flute, drums, and Caribbean steelpan. As a steelpan player, I performed several times at the Notting Hill Carnival in London. I still play drums and recently enjoy playing Beatles songs with my music friends. If you love music, you’re very welcome!🎶

Moi en tant que professeur
I began my teaching career in 2010, providing English lessons to Japanese learners.
In 2019, I taught Japanese at a senior high school in Taiwan, where I gained valuable classroom teaching experience. After returning to Japan, I transitioned to online teaching, which I continue to focus on today.
Recently, I have been studying law to deepen my knowledge of visas and international marriage. I am also in an international marriage with a British partner and have been living in Japan for many years, so I can offer advice on visas, administrative procedures, and daily life in Japan (⚠️please note that I do not provide application or procedural services).
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I’m patient, friendly, and always supportive. I create personalized materials using Google Docs and Canva, so even complete beginners can join with confidence and no preparation is needed😊
I always answer grammar questions and clearly explain the nuances between similar words. At the same time, my lessons are not like lectures. I include a lot of interactive speaking practice, along with fun activities such as picture descriptions and the use of online tools.
Lessons are conducted in English, but I can also speak German and Chinese👍
Note: Lessons are for students aged 16 and up.

Mai is an amazing teacher! She always makes sure that I understand the material before moving on. Mai also incorporates several language skills into the lesson (listening, reading, speaking, etc.). All of the material is relevant and useful for everyday life and my life. I highly recommend Mai for beginners and intermediates in Japanese.

It was great fun chatting about music with Mai-sensei. Really helpful too, and I loved hearing about her performances. What’s more, she has an excellent knowledge of grammar and gives plenty of explanations in English.

Her lessons are really fun, and she helps in English when you don’t understand, so it never feels awkward. Her original materials are also very helpful.
After each lesson, she sends lesson notes and materials, so you can review easily.
