Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker currently living in Japan. I studied English in college and have lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so you don't need to worry even if you are a complete beginner in learning Japanese! ✌
I also love manga and anime! Let's practice Japanese together and talk about anime 😄Me as a Teacher
Learning a new language is hard and scary! I know, I'm right there with you! I have a lot of friends who study Japanese. Seeing them learning Japanese made me want to help them, so I decided to become a teacher. I know how frustrating it is to not be able to say what you want to say in a different language. I can be very patient because I understand the difficulty of learning languages. With me, you don't need to be afraid of making mistakes!😉 My lessons & teaching style
🍙 Beginner Japanese 🍙
Never studied Japanese before? No worries! Let's start with Hiragana! I use Genki, Nakama and other textbooks for this lesson. 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?"
* Since these lessons are college-level, I am only accepting students who are 16 years of age and older.My teaching material

Saki is so patient and encouraging! My confidence with speaking has increased significantly since I started taking classes with her.

I have had a few lessons with Sakiさん over the past weeks and already feel my Japanese has improved a great deal. Her lessons are easy to understand and full of information presented in a warm and friendly way. She is a very encouraging teacher and I look forward to continuing my studies with her!

Saki-sensei, was kind and helpful! I was able to practice Japanese before my interview to help calm the nerves!

Another great lesson with Saki-san. Going at a good pace of starting with homework review at the beginning and then reviewing the previous lesson before moving onto the new material.

Since starting lessons with Saki san, I feel much less nervous speaking in Japanese and a lot more willing to try to express my thoughts, even with mistakes.
