Hello, my name is Mayumi. I'm from Hiroshima and currently live in Yokohama city. I am a bilingual (Japanese and English) and certified Japanese tutor. I can teach Japanese in English from beginner to intermediate level. Those who just want to enjoy the conversation are also welcome! I love watching Korean and Chinese TV series, and the audition program like America's and British got talent. I'm talkative and can be your good friend. I'm looking for learners who seriously(, but slowly is ok) want to learn Japanese. Thank you!

Me as a Teacher
Hello, my name is Mayumi, and I am a bilingual (Japanese and English) and certified Japanese tutor. I got a qualification as a Japanese teacher from the experience of working in a foreign company for more than 10 years, and now I am teaching Japanese everyday. I started to learn English after I graduated the Univercity (when I was 28..), so I can understand how hard to naturally speak another language!
For my lesson, from basic to upper intermediate level are especially welcome! (JLPT target: N2 to N5) . Only conversation is also welcome! I can teach dependes on your level and needs. In my lesson, YOU CAN USE ENGLISH ANYTIME.
My lessons & teaching style
Firstly, I will introduce basic rules of Japanese for you to roughly capture the whole image of Japanese grammar. If you understand these rules, you can easily start learning! Then we will use a texbook, and add new grammars, vocabularies and phrases. I will ask MANY questions before and during the lesson for you to deepen understanding. From N5 to N2 level of students are especially welcome. Those who want to enjoy conversation casually are also welcome! I often leave sentences on Chat box while we are talking, and ask MANY questions by finding out the points you need to improve!

I'd recommend taking a lesson with Mayumi Sensei to anyone! She has been a fantastic teacher since my first lesson with her! The first few lessons she evaluated my Japanese level and I've been improving ever since! I truly feel like I'm learning real Japanese versus just memorizing things out of a textbook. The homework she provides is also very helpful for preparing for my next lesson and to review grammar points that we have already covered. Book your lesson now! You won't regret it!
Mayumi Sensei is great: friendly, intelligent, patient. The classes are fun and agile. Very enjoyable experience.

Honestly, I really appreciate all the notes she writes for future reference/study. Mayumi-sensei is so nice and is really adept at shaping the lesson to fit your needs.

まゆみ先生 really made me feel comfortable with speaking Japanese for the first time. I was quite nervous, but she made it easy to relax while still getting through the material at a decent pace. 10/10, highly recommend!
