🌸Hello, I’m Misao!
I’m from Tokyo and now living in Hokkaido (Hokkaido is the northernmost region of Japan, famous for its snow⛄️⛷🏂).
I’m a government-licensed Japanese teacher 🇯🇵 with a background in business, university, local government, radio🎤, and farming 🌱🐓🥚.
While living abroad for about 4 years, I started teaching Japanese to friends.
After becoming certified, I’ve taught over 520 lessons on italki and other platforms, working with learners from beginner to advanced levels.
I’m passionate about skiing ⛷️ and love Ghibli movies 🎬 and Fujii Kaze’s music 🎶.
I believe learning Japanese should be fun and enjoyable, so let’s improve your skills with care and clarity!Ik als leerkracht
I’m a certified Japanese teacher 🇯🇵 with over 520 lessons taught mainly online and also in person. I’ve worked with learners from beginner to advanced levels, tailoring lessons to fit each student’s goals and pace.
🔸Passed the National Japanese Language Teacher Exam
🔸Completed 420-hour teacher training course
Currently teaching:
🔸A group of about 20 Senegalese🇸🇳 residents in Japan (requested by a university professor)
🔸Visiting high school students from a sister city abroad🛩 (requested by a Coordinator for International Relations)
I support learners with clear instruction, useful feedback, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
Let’s build your Japanese with confidence 😊Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In my lessons, I combine practical communication with a deep understanding of Japanese culture. I use a variety of materials, such as:
🔸textbooks (Marugoto, Irodori)
🔸Original materials
🔸Web news
🔸Famous Japanese songs 🎶
I focus on helping you speak naturally and confidently by practicing real-life conversations. Whether you’re traveling or working in Japan, I tailor each lesson to fit your needs. I also integrate cultural insights to make learning fun and relevant.
I believe in making learning interactive and dynamic. We’ll also use “realia” (real-life materials), so you’ll feel like you’re living in Japan—even when you’re at home!
Let’s keep learning engaging and rewarding! 😄Mijn lesmateriaal

Misao-sensei strikes the perfect balance between structure and spontaneity to make learning both effective and fun. With my uneven Japanese foundation from years in Japan and self-study, finding the right curriculum was difficult. Misao-sensei has been of great help in addressing this challenge: she crafted two custom study plans (aggressive vs. relaxed pacing) to address my gaps and support my part-time studies. In class, she deftly senses when I’ve missed a word and smoothly repeats it in English, uses visual tools like whiteboards to clarify concepts (e.g. kanji radicals), and checks comprehension with spot questions to solidify retention. And yet, lessons flow naturally, touching on everything from hobbies to Japanese culture. If you’ve struggled to find a class that suits your unconventional learning path, I suspect you’ll benefit greatly from studying with Misao-sensei too!

I enjoyed learning some new kanji today and seeing how they are used on Japanese products based on the season. Misao-san demonstrates beautiful Kanji with stroke order and count.

We had an excellent class of using travel phrases to review Hiragana and also practicing conversation. I appreciate Misao-sensei's help in preparing for my trip to Japan. Thank you!

The lesson with Misao-sensei was awesome. We started off class with basic conversation and I showed her a book I have of Japanese music arranged for Jazz piano. We then studied how to use modifiers to describe the book. Afterwards, we sang the song Furusato because it was the first song in it. She explained the lyrics and cultural significance. It was a really good way to learn vocabulary, pronunciation, cultural information, and hopefully connect with people musically in the future :) We also talked about art. I appreciate how she customized the lesson based on my interests and uses music. I recommend her classes! ありがとうございます

It's cool that Studio Ghibli has made images available for educational use. I love the suggestion to practice speaking by describing them. Thank you for another lesson!
