Certified Tutor🌸5+ Years Experience🌸5,000+ Lessons🌸English-Friendly Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker who studied English in college and lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so no worries if you are a complete beginner✌ Learning a new language is hard and scary! I know, I'm right there with you! Many of my friends study Japanese, and watching them learn inspired me to become a teacher. I understand how frustrating it can be when you can't express yourself the way you want to. That's why I always try to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you don't need to be afraid of making mistakes 😉 I also love manga and anime, so let's practice Japanese together and chat about your favorite series 😄 🍙 Japanese Grammar & Conversation 🍙 🌸 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, so feel free to ask if you would prefer to use it. In these lessons, we will focus on grammar, conversation, and reading practice while expanding your range of expressions in Japanese. * Since these lessons are college-level, I am only accepting students who are 16 years of age and older.

I've had over 10 lessons with Sakiさん and cannot state enough how much my Japanese has improved over these past weeks. I feel a lot more confident to attempt speaking it and know a lot more for sure but my understanding, comprehension and even reading ability (which is something I didn't think I needed) has improved so much. I look forward to my lessons with Sakiさん and will continue to try my best with my Japanese studies knowing I have an excellent teacher!

I very much enjoy my conversation classes with Saki san. I appreciate that she gives me lots of time and space to try to express my thoughts, while offering gentle correction if and when needed.
