As a certified Japanese teacher from Tokyo, I offer fun and effective lessons focusing on conversation practice, pronunciation, and intonation. I believe that learning Japanese with cultural context makes it more enjoyable and practical. Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your business Japanese, I provide personalized lessons tailored to your needs.

Join me to learn not just the language but also the culture behind it! 🌸

🔴CourseA🔴【Speaking】conversation practice, pronunciation, and intonation

Learn Japanese 3 characters in an effective way.
If you firmly establish ``Hiragana'' and ``Katakana'', learning "kanji” will be very smooth.
Additionally, when typing Japanese in online chats or SNS, you will be able to type faster and more accurately than you can now.

Even if you are an intermediate level student, if you have memorized letters by self-study such as using a tracing app, this is your chance to learn how to draw beautiful letters!
Surprise the Japanese you meet for the first time, your Japanese colleagues, and your Japanese friends!

This is a lesson to support your enjoyable travel to Japan.
Using the original slides I created as the main teaching material, I will customize the lesson to suit you based on the time you have left before the departure of your trip.

🔸It doesn't matter what the purpose or reason for your trip is. 
If you wish, we can also discuss your travel plans. I have experience working at the City Tourism Association, so I am good at supporting your travel plans.
Let's learn useful expressions when traveling to Japan! (especially Hokkaido!)

🔸Whether it's your first trip to Japan or your second or more time, Hokkaido is a great place to visit, with spring, summer, fall, and winter all having their own charms.You can enjoy the great outdoors and the food is delicious in all seasons.
In addition to being popular for adventure tourism（AT） from overseas, it is also a very popular destination for Japanese people on domestic honeymoons, graduation trips, post-retirement trips, and adventure trips to find themselves.

🔸I am from Tokyo, and my family and I moved to Hokkaido in 2019 because of its charm.
In January2024, I stayed at a guesthouse in Asakusa, Tokyo. I also love Tokyo, and I feel that Tokyo has a charm that can only be found in Tokyo, and that Hokkaido has a charm that can only be found in Hokkaido.

【生徒の声 Student's voice】
Japanese teacher Misao's diverse experiences (working and living) allow for engaging and insightful conversations during our lessons, enriching the learning experience far beyond the textbook. 
I am incredibly impressed by her ability to tailor a teaching proposal that perfectly suits my needs—focusing on improving my conversational Japanese and expanding my vocabulary. 
What truly sets Misao apart is her dedication to finding various creative ways to teach. Her flexibility and willingness to adapt her teaching methods make it easy for me to identify and correct my usual mistakes, allowing for continuous improvement through practice and review after each lesson.
Misao is not just a qualified tutor; she is a professional who is truly dedicated to her students.
I highly recommend her to anyone serious about mastering Japanese!
