Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! Do you freeze when talking to people, even if you're okay with AI? One student told me, "I'm scared to fail with humans." Today, he confidently initiates conversations in Japanese! As a student of Psychology and Education, I focus on how to release tension and let words flow naturally. My priority isn't just fixing grammar; it's creating a "Safe Space" where you can fail without fear. Using insights from educational theory, I provide a relaxing environment that maximizes your learning. I dedicate my full energy to every session. Expect a high-quality experience where you'll discover something new and finish feeling refreshed and lighter. Let’s turn your anxiety into confidence together!

I have started teaching as a teaching assistant in Japanese classes when I was going to college. For the last 20 years, I've been helping new employees to get adjusted to their lives in Japan. Teaching basic Japanese was one of the support I was providing. I have helped my friends to pass JLPT. I have also supported foreign tourists as a volunteer guide in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Therefore, I am confident that I can support beginner level students well. I love seeing their smiles when they were able to use the language that they learned with locals. That’s the best thing when you are learning a new language. We will talk a lot in my class. That's the best way to gain confidence.

Top 1% Japanese teachers in ITALKI. I passed the Japanese teaching certification exam and taught man When teaching Japanese, it is interesting to think about how to make studying fun and explain it in an easy-to-understand. It is also important to find out the challenges of the learners. It's fun to find their problems in pronunciation, writing, grammar, etc., and overcome them together. There are various types of students. I think teaching according to individuality is best. I also enjoy playing Japanese roles in business. 日本語を勉強する時、どうしたら楽しく勉強できるか、わかりやすく説明するかを考えるのがとても面白いです。また、学習者の課題を見つけるのも重要です。発音や、書き方、文法など、課題を見つけ、一緒に課題を克服するのが楽しいです。人は様々なタイプがあります。その人の個性に合わせて勉強することfが一番大切なことだと考えています。 また、ビジネス上の日本語のロールプレーなども楽しいですね。

TOMODACHI TALK ☕️ – Chat. Laugh. Learn. Does speaking Japanese make you nervous? You're not alone. Living in different countries taught me something important: the courage to speak imperfectly is what connects us. I know what it feels like to struggle with a language — the frustration, the self-doubt, the fear of making mistakes. That's exactly why my lessons are a safe, relaxed space where mistakes are not just okay, but welcome. You'll hear me say "Daijoubu!" a lot. No pressure. No rush. Just real Japanese, at your pace. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to build more confidence in conversation, I'd love to learn with you. I teach practical Japanese for daily life — ordering at restaurants, making small talk, handling real situations. I can support you in English whenever you need it. I'm a proud recipient of italki's Excellence Award. I'm here for your journey. Let's take that next step together.
