🌸楽しい日本語🌸 Konnichiwa! My name is Mimi. I was born and raised in Japan. I live in Kanagawa Japan now, but I lived in the States for 3 years so I also speak English. I have experience teaching English to Japanese children at an English school in Japan. And I also have experience teaching Japanese in person to my American friends. I have experienced parenting in the US, and currently raising my kids bilingually in Japan. Over the past few years, I have seen my kids enjoy learning English online with Filipino and American teachers, and their English has improved so much. Watching them inspired me to think, "I want to teach online too!" and that's how my journey as a Japanese tutor began. My hobbies are watching movies and dramas, listening to music, traveling and exploring historical sites. Whether you want to practice everyday conversation, learn Japanese to travel, or simply enjoy talking with a Japanese native speaker. I'd be happy to help you. Let’s have fun and learn Japanese together😊 I hope to see you in my class! こんにちは!私の名前はミミです。 今は日本の神奈川県に住んでいますが、アメリカに3年間住んでいたので英語も話せます。 英会話スクールで日本の子供たちに英語を教えた経験と、アメリカ人の友人達に日本語を教えた経験があります。 アメリカでの子育て経験があり、現在は日本でバイリンガル子育て中です。 ここ数年、私の子供たちがオンライン英会話でフィリピン人やアメリカ人の先生たちと楽しみながら勉強し、どんどん英語力が伸びているのを間近で見て、「私もオンラインで教えてみたい!」と思い日本語講師を始めました😊 趣味は映画やドラマ鑑賞、音楽、旅行、歴史探索です。 私のレッスンではフリートークを中心に、楽しく日本語を話せる練習をサポートします。 まずはぜひトライアルレッスンを受けてみてください♫

New Info: I was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and I have lived in the U.S. for over 20 years. I currently live in New York. I enjoy teaching Japanese, and I also love learning languages. I am currently studying French. My lessons mainly focus on conversation, but I can adjust them based on each student’s level and goals. For beginners, I can use textbooks to help them learn the basics step by step. For advanced learners, we can read books, discuss news articles, or focus on any topic they would like to study. As a language learner myself, I know how enjoyable it feels to communicate in another language. Japanese is not easy, but I would like to help my students experience that same joy. Since I am also studying French, my explanations may sometimes be a mix of French and English, but I can also teach Japanese in French. My lesson fees are now $11.00 for 30 minutes, $14.00 for 45 minutes, and $17.00 for 60 minutes for any levels (updated in August 2026). I also offer a 10% discount for packages of 5 lessons. If you are interested, please take advantage of the package prices. If you would like to book a lesson for your child, please message me in advance with your child’s age and Japanese level. Depending on the child’s age and level, I may not be able to accept the lesson.
