As of September 2026, I have 3+ years of teaching experience and have taught 2,500+ lessons through online and in-person classes. 🗼 You can start with confidence, even if you don’t read hiragana or katakana yet. 🌸 Learn Japanese you can actually use. My lessons focus on real communication, not just memorizing grammar and vocabulary. I explain natural Japanese, including differences in meaning and nuance. We also practice free conversation using the grammar you have learned, while picking up new vocabulary and expressions. My goal is to help you turn what you study into Japanese you can actually speak. 🌱 Beginners (N5) • Hiragana & Katakana • Basic grammar • Conversation 🌿 Intermediate & Upper-Intermediate We’ll practice conversation through topics such as daily life, news, hobbies, and work. If you know grammar but find it difficult to speak, I’ll help you turn that knowledge into real communication. JLPT preparation: N5–N3. 🧠 Choosing the right teacher matters. Feeling comfortable speaking, asking questions, and making mistakes is important for improving. If my photo or video gives you the feeling that we might be a good fit, or that my speaking style and rhythm suit you, feel free to reach out! ✨ I enjoy anime, rock music, history, and economics, and bring these topics into my lessons.

✨Go beyond textbooks and speak real Japanese.✨ Hello! I’m Marika. I love meeting people from different cultures and sharing experiences through language. Language learning changed my life. When I moved to Australia, I realized that understanding a language and actually speaking it were two very different things. That’s why my goal is to help you turn “I understand Japanese” into “I can speak Japanese.” My teaching style I enjoy digging deeper into conversations and helping you express your thoughts, experiences, and opinions in Japanese. Don’t worry about making mistakes—even the same mistakes. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. What matters is understanding why the mistake happened. I’ll help you identify where the mistake came from and how to improve it. When appropriate, I encourage students to notice patterns and discover solutions on their own rather than simply giving them the answers. What can you expect from my lessons? Over time, you’ll become more confident speaking Japanese. You’ll learn how to express your own thoughts instead of relying only on memorized phrases. Most importantly, I want to help you become someone who enjoys speaking Japanese. Learning a language takes courage. If you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step. I’d love to support your journey and cheer you on along the way. I look forward to meeting you in class!

I have 6 years of teaching Japanese language in private lessons. Teaching allowed me to never forget the Japanese and to build courses as I imagined them ! I also made interventions in primary classes to spread the Asian culture to French children, because it's a little known universe. During the summer holidays, I taught French to Dutch children to introduce them to French in a fun way and not speaking their language it was always instructive ! My specialty is to teach languages to people who have a concrete project with the country. My biggest wish is that you reach your goals and become autonomous !

From everyday conversation to honorifics used at work, I will teach you what you want to study. I would like to help you achieve your goals at your own pace. In the lesson, when you don't understand, or when you have a word you don't know, ask me anything. I will teach you politely in simpler and easier-to-understand words until you understand.

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.
