Hi! I’m Emika😊
I was born and raised in a small town in Kagoshima, moved to Saitama, and now I live in Australia 🐨🇦🇺
I completed a training course in Australia on “Teaching Japanese in English” 🎓
I love playing the piano, dancing, and spending time with animals—I live with an adorable cat! 🐱 I also learned calligraphy for over 10 years in Japan and have experience teaching it at language schools abroad ✨
Let's have fun learning Japanese & Culture with me!🇯🇵
Me as a Teacher
I’m a friendly and relaxed teacher who loves helping students improve their Japanese in a fun way🐈
I want my lessons to feel comfortable, so you can practice and make mistakes without feeling nervous😊
We’ll focus on real conversations, useful grammar, and vocabulary that you can actually use✨
I adapt my lessons to fit what you need, and I’m always here to help you improve at your own pace. Let’s have fun while learning🎶
My lessons & teaching style
Everyone has a different level and goal, so I offer three courses that meet your needs!🎯
📖 Hiragana & Katakana Course:
Perfect for beginners. We’ll focus on mastering Hiragana and Katakana through fun, interactive lessons.
📖 Japanese Basics & JLPT N5~N4 Course:
For those want to learn basic Japanese or pass JLPT N5 & N4.
We'll use my original slides which are based on Japanese textbooks and gain basic knowledges about Japanese grammars.
📖 Informal Tutoring:
No set lessons—focus on what you want! We can practice conversation or work on specific areas you need help with.
Learning should be fun and motivating!
I’m here to help you every step of the way. Let’s enjoy learning together!😊

Amazing first experience! Great flow and an understanding teacher. Right combination of communication, teaching and style. Definitely coming back. I’m now more motivated than ever to consistently learn Japanese!

Emika was fantastic. She was very patient with her listening skills and asked excellent questions in a slow and clear manner. I very much felt comfortable talking to her and highly recommend speaking to her whichever level your Japanese may be.
Had another great lesson with Emika sensei. I found practicing output really helpful to get through my anxiety when trying to speak Japanese.

Emika is a wonderful teacher! I am going on a trip to Japan soon and she taught me all the things I needed and more. She also answered all of my questions and explained to me what the different parts of the phrases meant. She was patient with me and I really appreciated it!
Even if you are a total beginner, I highly recommend her class!!! Thank you so much, Emika!!!
