Hi😊 I'm Makiko, a certified Japanese teacher with over 15 years of experience in Melbourne, Australia. Originally from rural Shizuoka, I bring authentic cultural insights to my lessons. I've taught tons of students from beginner to advanced levels, with all 2024 JLPT students passing. My background as a graphic designer in Tokyo helps me create visually engaging educational materials. Outside of teaching, I enjoy art, cooking, watching movies from around the world, and supporting elderly people. I'm also a dog lover! I've visited the U.S., several European and Asian countries, and lived in the UK. Every place was a wonderful experience. Let’s study Japanese together !

Makiko-sensei's lessons are always fun and my Japanese has already improved so much since I started learning with her. She is kind and patient, and provides feedback and corrections without it being overwhelming. Thanks to that I've become a lot more comfortable speaking Japanese. I look forward to improving further with her guidance.

For anyone interested in learning Japanese I highly recommend Makiko-sensei. I had been studying the Genki 1 book on my own for several months but wasn't really sure what kind of progress I was making. I scheduled a trial lesson with Makiko-sensei and feel so lucky and fortunate to have found her as my teacher. Ever since the trial lesson I've been taking classes once a week for a few months now and the hour session is always a highlight of my week that I look forward to. Makiko-sensei is a compassionate and patient teacher that makes learning enjoyable while always ensuring you actually learn the material. I constantly have questions and stumble over previously taught subjects but she always takes the time to review with me with a smile on her face. I'll soon be upping to 2-3 times a week because I enjoy learning from Makiko-sensei so much. I've always had a dream of learning the Japanese language and with the guidance of Makiko-sensei I believe I can make that dream a reality.

My sister and I were very lucky to find Makiko sensei on our first try. Sensei makes learning Japanese fun and interesting despite her students being working adults already. Makiko sensei helped us to transform from beginners in Japanese to barely elementary school level, the progress we have made it really amazing. We also asked Makiko sensei to help us prepare to take the JLPT N5 exam, through her careful teaching and guidance we were luckily able to pass and we hope to take the next level soon! Senseis lesson is something I look forward to every week, I would highly highly recommend Makiko sensei to anyone looking to learn Japanese or take their current study to the next level!

Makiko-sensei is still one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is very kind and helpful in every lesson, but she is also very serious in my lessons so that I may improve. She provides very clear lessons and good homework, and she is very encouraging. Whenever I have difficulties with words, she slowly helps me remember or understand the word or phrase. Highly recommended for everyone either learning Japanese or needing a well-structured classroom style lesson!
