About Me

Hi! I’m Mana, born and raised in Japan, and I’ve been living in the States for a few years now. I work as a freelance translator and also have the pleasure of teaching Japanese here.
Aside from my native Japanese, I’m fluent in English and have a basic grasp of Chinese, especially in writing, which I’m happy to incorporate into lessons if it’s helpful!
In my free time, I love traveling, learning new languages, and exploring different cuisines from around the world. Some of my favorites are Turkish, Cantonese, and Korean food! I’d love to hear about your favorite dishes from your local cuisine too.Me as a Teacher
I customize each lesson to fit your unique goals and learning needs, ensuring that you get the most out of our time together. By using a variety of online resources, I aim to support and enrich your learning experience. If there are specific topics you'd like to focus on, feel free to share them with me!
Whether you’re an absolute beginner or already have some knowledge of Japanese, you’re more than welcome in my lessons—no prior experience is necessary!
Let’s make learning Japanese both fun and effective as we work towards improving your skills together!My lessons & teaching style

Mana is a great teacher! We've been going through the Genki book, steadily one grammar point at a time. She helps me understand the concepts and corrects my mistakes. When I learn a new complex grammar point, she has examples for me and I make sentences using the newly learned grammar. Can't wait for the next lesson!

Mana was super fun to talk to. I really learned a lot of things I've been wanting to say. I'm looking forward to having more lessons in the future.
