Certified Tutor🌸5+ Years Experience🌸5,000+ Lessons🌸English-Friendly Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker who studied English and lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so no worries if you are a complete beginner✌ I also love manga and anime, so let's chat about them in Japanese 😄 I learned English as a second language myself, and I'm currently studying Korean, Spanish, and Turkish. So I know how fun and exciting language learning can be and also how frustrating and challenging it can feel! If you're nervous about making mistakes, don't worry. I've made countless mistakes while learning languages, and that's how we learn! If you've been thinking, "I wish I could speak Japanese someday," why not start now? Imagine where you could be three months from now. You might already be talking about yourself, your hobbies, and your daily life in Japanese! 🍙 My Lessons 🍙 🌸 Beginner Level🌸 Never studied Japanese before? No worries! Let's start with Hiragana. I use Genki-based materials for these lessons. You will be able to say things like... "This movie was very interesting!" "Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Tokyo Station?" 🌸 Intermediate Level🌸 Finished Genki or Minna no Nihongo Elementary? Let's move on to intermediate Japanese! I mainly use Quartet for these lessons. I also have Tobira if you prefer. In these lessons, we will focus on grammar, conversation, and reading practice while expanding your range of expressions in Japanese. * These lessons are designed for students aged 16 and older.

Having lived in Switzerland for over 20 years and having taught more than 7,000 lessons, I bring a unique dual perspective on both Japanese and European cultures.

My lessons are designed to be engaging and useful, focusing on everyday conversation so you can actually use what you learn. Whether for travel, daily life, or personal interest, you will develop natural speaking skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. I also offer group lessons. Please take a look.

If you are looking for a teacher who can help you understand both the language and the culture behind it, I would be happy to support your journey. Let’s open new possibilities through Japanese together. I look forward to talking with you! レッスンであいましょう!

Complete Beginner? Traveling to Japan Soon? Need Grammar Explained in English? Check Me Out! 🧑🏫🇯🇵🇬🇧 Certified JP/EN Teacher ✈️ Travel Japanese 📖 Genki/Quartet/Tobira/New Kanzen Master etc. Hi! I’m a native Japanese speaker born and raised in Japan. I also spent five years of my childhood in English-speaking countries, which game me a good understanding of both languages and cultures. I graduated from a UK university, earned my TESOL certification there in 2018, and passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2020. I’ve taught students from around the world at every level, from complete beginners to advanced learners. 💡 Why study with me? I specialize in explaining Japanese grammar in clear, natural English. Because I understand both languages, I can explain difficult concepts simply and logically. Many students say they finally understood grammar points that had confused them for a long time. I have extensive experience teaching complete beginners, including students who cannot yet read hiragana. I provide step-by-step guidance to help learners build confidence. My lessons are especially popular with travelers preparing for trips to Japan. I use practical role-play for real-life situations like hotel check-ins, restaurants, shopping, and train travel. Some students study with me for months before their trip, while others book a lesson just before their flight! Whether your goal is travel, conversation, JLPT preparation, or simply enjoying Japanese more deeply, I’ll help you learn in a clear, supportive, and enjoyable way.

Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.

🗾Speech Therapy✨🎤"BLIND SPOT" 🎵🎁Brain/Cognitive Function🌷Breakthroughs✨🗻Sound Training🌸 I learned Speech Therapy, brain/cognitive function, developmental psychology at speech therapist school for 3 years. You will perceive Blind Spots in Japanese learning. It uses your heart & senses like a child. (Kind-hearted, considerate and thoughtful people are more likely to notice that) We train the sound & Japanese sense. (unique and specialized training) The training leads to a natural way to sense(learn) Japanese. *Even children will develop an unnatural native language if they study grammar & textbooks first. After you practice Japanese unique foundation a lot, you will begin to acquire phrases & vocabulary just by listening without much effort, and a mysterious state of automation will begin where you can somehow understand something that you don't understand. (Sound, Senses, Brain& You have a secret power) And the better the sound & sense, the more you will be able to feel/understand Japanese language feelings. *My method focuses on it at first. Afterwards, we will practice phrase, grammar, etc. As you improve your learning through the training, you will be able to listen and speak in a way that is different from what you were used to. My students have improved their listening & speaking skills beyond comparison at first. Because you can adjust, control and feel the sounds & mind. You have blind spots in learning Japanese. So you will be so hard to speak & listen naturally. That's why I created a step-by-step method that you can sense & master.^-^
