I would be delighted to learn more about your goals and discuss how I can best support you on your Japanese learning journey.
Please feel free to book a trial lesson to get a sense of my teaching style and the materials I typically use. 

🔸 If you have any textbooks or learning materials you would prefer to use, I would be more than happy to incorporate them into our lesson.

🔸 It would also be very helpful if you could let me know in advance which books or apps you have used in the past, so I can tailor the lesson to your experience.

🔸 If the trial lesson is for your child, I would appreciate it if you could kindly share their age, gender, favorite Japanese foods, characters, or anything else that might help me prepare a fun and smooth first lesson. 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.☺️
