こんにちは! 👋 I’m a Japanese tutor with 12 years of teaching experience and a strong linguistics background, and I’d love to help you on your language journey.

I welcome all levels of learners—from complete beginners to intermediate students. 

For beginners, I often recommend starting with the GENKI textbook. To build a strong foundation, I highly suggest taking classes at least once a week for the first 3 months so you can really see your progress.

🌸 What can I help you with:

• Step-by-step lessons for complete beginners
• Building conversation skills and practical Japanese for daily life
• JLPT exam preparation (N5–N3)
• Focused lessons for your Japan trip
• Long-term guidance—some of my students are now living in Japan after studying with me!

🌸 How do we study?

I use a method called "Active learning". You need to study and prepare before the lesson to be actively involved in the learning process. In that way, you can learn the language effectively. I have been learning English for over 15 years, and all I can say is the key to success is repetition and being consistent!

🌸 Would it be possible to speak Japanese fluently?

Many people ask me how long it will take to speak Japanese fluently. My answer is that it depends on you. If you engage with Japanese for more time every day, you will acquire it faster. There are many ways to engage with your learning language. It might be like watching your favorite Japanese shows or writing a diary every day in Japanese, and so on.  Find a fun way to learn Japanese with me!

🌸 Extra support outside lessons

I also host a Japanese learning podcast that follows the GENKI textbook. It’s designed for shadowing practice to strengthen your speaking and listening skills—a perfect complement to lessons.

I believe in making lessons engaging, practical, and tailored to each student’s needs. Whether you’re starting from zero, preparing for an exam, or getting ready to travel, I’ll support you in reaching your goals with confidence.
