I was born and raised in Canada with Japanese and Chinese heritage. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and I’m currently in Türkiye completing my Master’s in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. I’m proficient in English and Japanese, speak some Mandarin, and have studied Turkish for 8+ years. I love learning languages and have explored Arabic, Korean, Ukrainian, Hebrew, Bengali, Persian, and Kinyarwanda. Outside of teaching, I am a professional photographer, love cooking, and homebrewing beer and wine!

Le mie creazioni
Che tipo di insegnante sono
I truly enjoy meeting my students and connecting with them as people, not just learners. I know how valuable it is to have a supportive native speaker to practice with, and I love being part of someone’s language-learning journey. I’m a positive, enthusiastic teacher who enjoys relaxed, natural conversations and creating a comfortable space to speak freely.
Tell me about your hobbies, your day, your language goals, or even the funny drama happening in your life—anything is welcome. Just chat with me in your target language, and I’ll help you grow with encouragement, patience, and clear guidance.
Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
My lessons are relaxed and friendly, like chatting with a friend who genuinely wants to help you improve. I offer conversation practice, correction, guidance on grammar and pronunciation, and useful phrases based on your goals. Many students enjoy my sentence translation exercises—fun, unusual, but very practical sentences that build versatility and confidence. I currently offer this sentence translation exercise in English and Japanese, and I’m working on adding Turkish. I also offer a Pronunciation Practice lesson for students who want detailed feedback and clearer, more natural speech.

Hugh is a very supportive, patient and personable sensei. I have taken a few lessons with him now. I find it especially helpful that he is both a native Japanese and English speaker. He is able to explain things to me in everyday plain English. I enjoy our classes very much and have been learning a lot from him.

Hugh is a lovely teacher who is extremely easy to talk to. The lessons are very enjoyable, whether it is conversing in Japanese, or translating sentences. I am also amazed by his ability to not only converse in Japanese and English, but in multiple other languages as well!:) Hugh-さんはそごく相談しやすくて、レッスンはいつも楽しいです。いつもありがとうございます!

This is my third lesson with Hugh. Today's lesson was 45 minutes long and was so much fun that the time flew by. I still use Japanese a lot, but my goal is to be able to have all my conversations in English.

We are two retired teachers taking Custom Lessons from Hugh in order to increase our ability to communicate while visiting Japan. Teachers can be very critical of other teachers, so please know that Hugh is an excellent teacher. He is prompt, really responsive and his linguistics background means his explanations are clear and give us new insights into the Japanese language, making it easier for us to remember. He has been very consistent in hearing what we want out focus to be and responding to that. Hugh provides us with detailed feedback during the lesson and written notes that we can use in the future. As he asks us to repeat, we are becoming more confident in pronouncing and listening. We strongly recommend Hugh.

Hugh assessed our needs and developed a curriculum to match perfectly. We learned some hiragana and then very specific useful phrasing we would use. The sessions were very clear (and he was very patient when necessary). Most of all we really appreciated the way he understood the mechanics of language, the way it works, and the really fascinating differences.
