こんにちは!I’m Norie, your Japanese language consultant from Mie, Japan. 🌊✨
As a mom of three and a former nurse, I *love* helping beginners, kids, and busy parents learn practical Japanese—whether for travel, anime fandom, or caregiving work. Having studied Chinese and French myself, I understand the challenges of language learning and make lessons fun yet structured.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me practicing Iaido (samurai swordsmanship! ⚔️) or diving into manga—perfect for casual conversation practice. Let’s boost your confidence together! 🎤🔥

Ik als leerkracht
I come from Hyogo Prefecture, near Osaka. I finished university in Japan and worked as a nurse in Tokyo and Osaka. I also learned voice acting and announcing, and how to speak in a standard Japanese accent, even though I originally spoke in the Kansai dialect.
Back in university, I studied a bit of Chinese, so I know how tough it can be to learn a new language. Recently, I've been helping businesspeople learn English as a consultant.
I've been a Japanese language teacher since 2022.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
As a Japanese teacher, my goal is to help students communicate politely using correct grammar. I also want them to learn the difference between chatting with friends and talking in a more formal way for business.
One of my students, who started as a total beginner, can now talk to customers using simple Japanese after a year of learning. They improved fast because they not only came to class but also did their homework.
I like talking while looking at faces without using many slides. Let's study together in a fun and friendly way. If needed or requested, I'll use slides to explain things clearly. Don't worry if you make a mistake in Japanese. I will correct and write in Google Docs.

Norie sensei has been extremely patient with me, and listens and helps. I've been studying by myself for a long period of time. Despite that, I knew I would have to get the courage to make mistakes and practice my conversation skills.
I went from extremely nervous to looking forward for a chance to practice again. This is one of the best things I've ever done for my studies.

Excellent teacher for a first-time 11-year old learner. She was patient walking into a new learner at a beginner level. We are looking forward to working with her again soon!
Some connectivity issues likely due to poor weather in our area, very minimal. Teacher continues to encourage student through material at an appropriate rate! Fantastic teacher.
