こんにちは～🐼I’m Mei 🐼
I decided to become a Japanese teacher after reading NARUTO in high school (ask me the rest in class!) I’m a huge anime and manga otaku and love both classics and new series.
My lessons are for you if you:
Want to talk about anime/manga in Japanese
Feel nervous but want a teacher who speaks English
Are a beginner wanting to start from hiragana
Want grammar or pronunciation practice
Want sentence corrections with clear explanations
Or just want to chat in Japanese for fun!
About me:
From Kyoto, Studied in NZ & the US (5 years abroad).
I’ve taught more than 350 students, both online and at a school.
I'm cheerful, quirky, and love karaoke🎤,anime, and some American cartoonsIk als leerkracht
For three years, I taught at a Japanese language school accredited by the Ministry of Justice, where I managed four classes of about 20 students each. Since 2020, partly due to the pandemic, I have been teaching Japanese online. (I've had 2500＋ online lessons with 160 students in total!) With over 5 years of study-abroad experience and professional work using English, I can explain even subtle nuances and complex grammar points in English.
I’ve taught complete beginners as well as learners from N5 to N1. With my experience teaching grammar and vocabulary at a Japanese language school, I can support students at all levels! Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven

Mei先生 made a study plan that fit my goals exactly and didn't just reuse premade materials. She was thoughtful, and made me feel good about my Japanese level. We spoke the entire time in Japanese and she spoke at the perfect level where I understood everything. It's clear she has experience teaching Japanese. She corrected my Japanese properly by repeating my sentences or asking questions that used the correct word order or a better choice of words. She's kind and encouraging, and I am excited to work with her to improve my Japanese!

Had a lovely trial class! It was delightful getting to learn from fun conversations with Mei-sensei right away. She is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive to your learning goals. Looking forward to more lessons!

Mei-san is incredibly helpful and fun to learn from! She always keeps things at a level I can understand and gives me the time I need to figure things out on my own, and help me when I don't understand. I look forward to many more lessons with her and recommend anyone who is wanting to learn Japanese in a fun and comfortable environment to do the same!

Mei-sensei was fantastic! I was really nervous about speaking, but she was encouraging, patient, and helpful with my many mistakes. We made a plan appropriate for my learning goals, and I'm looking forward to speaking with her again (and checking out the anime she recommended) 😊
