Hi! My name is Rui. I was born and raised in Japan, and now I live in the U.S.
I love traveling and trying new foods! I have traveled to 44 of Japan's 47 prefectures. So if you are planning a trip to Japan, I would love to help you make your itinerary.
My lessons are friendly, patient, and tailored to your goals. Whether you are just starting out or want to polish your fluency, I am here to support you. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together!
I have taught learners from beginner to advanced levels both in language schools and online. My teaching style is friendly, supportive, and flexible. I enjoy helping learners build confidence and reach their goals. I love learning about my students too and always aim to create a comfortable and enjoyable learning space.
I try to offer as many lessons as possible each week.
My schedule can change from week to week due to family commitments or occasional trips to Japan, but I always communicate in advance and make sure lessons run smoothly.
I really appreciate your understanding and flexibility!
This also allows me to offer lessons at different times for students around the world🌍✨
My lessons are tailored to each student's goals and level.

Rui-san is such a great teacher. She is always in a cheerful and energetic, is so patient and encourages me. She really makes learning fun and I always look forward to our lessons. We mostly try to speak in Japanese, but one of the nice thing too, is that she speaks very good English so if there is something I can't understand she is very good at explaining things. I see a comment about her being late. I've been studying with her for several months now and that has never been my experience. When I sign on, she's always waiting for me with a big welcoming smile.
I've had three classes (or so) with Rui. She's always been late. Today, for example, was 7-8 minutes late in a thirty minute class. I feel a bit robbed.

Rui is a very kind and attentive teacher, she creates a clear and precise personalised plan for her students. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to study Japanese - especially for anxious students like myself. She also breaks things down in a clear a comprehensible way without causing confusion. 12/10

The class was really fun! Ruiさん asked lots of engaging questions and told me interesting stories, which made our conversation flow very easily. All my nervousness at the beginning disappeared as soon as we started talking. She had also asked about my learning background beforehand to prepare for the lesson, which I really appreciated. I'm already looking forward to our next class!
