Kon’nichiwa! I’m Kyoko, your guide to practical Japanese language and culture! Born near Tokyo, I blend authentic Japanese insights with international perspectives. With 20 years in the UK and a background in American/European Studies and Japanese Culture, I help learners understand both language and cultural nuances. Fluent in English and passionate about cross-cultural connections!
Born and raised in the Greater Tokyo area, friendly and accommodating to all :) Looking forward to seeing you in a trial lesson!
In my lessons, you will see slides filled with illustrations. You will also have a lot of opportunities to use Japanese in practical, everyday situations.
If you are a total beginner, I am happy to teach Hiragana & Katakana from scratch, step by step. Then, we will work through “Minna no Nihongo” to increase your confidence and ability.
I can also provide “Survival Japanese for Travel” (usually 3-4 lessons), which will enrich your visit to Japan even more.
For those at an Intermediate level or above, “Let's chat in Japanese” and “Let’s read the Bible in Japanese” are available.

I've now taken 25 lessons with Kyoko! She brings her own materials and has plenty of ideas for things to work on, but she's also completely open if you want to do something specific. She's good at explaining things in English, creating a structured plan for you (if that's what you want), and she gives you a .pdf of the lesson materials after the lesson. I have several teachers that I use for different things on iTalki, but I recommend Kyoko if you need to build a solid foundation. She's extremely friendly and patient, so she'd be a good fit if you're a little nervous about speaking. Great teacher and a nice person to talk to :)

we had fun talking about time. Kyoko sensei was motivating me when I made mistakes and supportive at all times.

It was a fun lesson today. We talked about culture and exchanged some of the words of pastry typical for our countries. We also talked about ways of transportation in our home environment. I learned about conjugation and we practiced a conversation from the textbook. Kyoko sensei was very encouraging in her way of teaching. Arigato gozaimasu!

Kyoko is encouraging and helped me with the conversation. She has patience and is willing to answer questions. We now are pacticing verbs, in this case 'iku'. I do notice progression and more confidence, thanks to the way she teaches.
