Hello! I’m Hiroko. I am originally from Miyagi Prefecture in the Tohoku region of Japan, but I speak standard Japanese, having lived in Tokyo for many years. Currently, I reside in Australia, where I enjoy staying active through activities like walking, Pilates, and dancing.

Me as a Teacher
I am a certified Japanese language teacher with a passion for helping students develop confidence in their speaking abilities and achieve their language goals. As a fellow language learner—studying both English and Spanish—I fully understand the challenges and rewards of learning a new language.
私は日本語教師養成講座を修了しました。学習者さんが自信をもって日本語を話すことや、目標に到達するお手伝いをするのがとても好きです。私自身が英語とスペイン語の学習者なので、新しい言語を学ぶことの難しさや、その達成感を十分に理解しています。

Hirokoさん is a very patient, friendly and nice teacher. I had a fun first lesson chatting about all kinds of things. She's really good at asking good questions which keeps the conversation flowing. She also introduced a number of very useful words that I can use later.
