Genki & Intermediate lessons | French speakers welcome |Check out my students' reviews! ※Video was taken in 2022 Looking for meaningful Japanese conversations in a relaxed and supportive environment? Hello! I'm a certified Japanese teacher with 5 years of online teaching experience. My goal is to help you speak Japanese with confidence through practical, enjoyable lessons. Whether you're learning Japanese for work, your studies, or personal interest, I'll tailor each lesson to your level, goals, and interests. I teach students from upper beginners (who already know hiragana and katakana) to advanced learners. My lessons focus on improving speaking and listening skills, expanding vocabulary naturally, and helping you communicate with confidence in real-life situations. I studied political science at university and have lived in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo, as well as in France, Morocco, and Finland. Living in different countries has given me a deeper understanding of language learning and cross-cultural communication. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, cooking, handicrafts, and learning languages. I studied French at university, have also learned some Arabic and Finnish, so I understand both the challenges and the joy of learning a new language. We mainly use Genki and Chuukyuu o Manabou (intermediate), but I can also customize lessons using articles or conversation topics that match your interests. Don't worry about making mistakes—they're an important part of learning! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your Japanese goals.

I have been teaching Japanese for the past 4 years, and have helped my students at all levels - basic to advanced. My classes are usually conversation-based and customised to my students' language needs, whether it be grammar, idioms, vocabulary, or pronunciation. If you have something specific you need to prepare for, such as an upcoming interview, presentation or JLPT exams, I can definitely help you with that! I am also happy to answer any questions you have about material you are learning in other Japanese classes or by yourself, and help with document editing/proofreading. I want my classes to be relaxed, casual and hopefully have a bit of fun conversation! (Sorry, no child students)

As a language learner, I totally understand how the student feel when learning a language. The reason why I became a teacher is because I wanted to help those people who struggle learning Japanese. I believe that the way to study language is not only one way. Each of us have to find our best way. I'm hoping to assist the student to be able to find the most effective and fun way of learning Japanese.
