Wherever you are in your Japanese journey, I'll get you to that 'wait, I understood that!' moment! ■ About Me Hi everyone, I’m Mayumi, but you can call me May! I’ve been teaching Japanese in Melbourne, Australia for 10+ years and am proud to be ranked in the top 1% of Japanese teachers on italki. I also have experience as an instructor for Japanese Teacher Training Courses. Before teaching, I worked for 8 years as an Executive Assistant at a major gaming company in Tokyo, so I can help with not only daily conversation, but also Business Japanese, polite expressions, and workplace manners for those planning to live, study, or work in Japan. I’m relaxed, friendly, and easy-going, and I love making your Japanese journey fun and rewarding. ■ Lesson Style I always take time to understand each student’s goals and learning style, then create lessons that match their needs. My classes are enjoyable, stress-free, and easy to follow, helping students feel confident to participate. My teaching style is mainly Japanese-only, adjusted to your level, but English explanations are also available when needed. ■ How I Can Help You I teach a wide range of Japanese skills, from beginner conversation to advanced speaking, Business Japanese, and practical communication. I speak clearly, provide visual materials (especially for beginners), and focus on speaking practice with natural correction to improve fluency and confidence. My goal is that after every lesson, you leave with something useful you can use in real life! I am looking forward to meeting you soon :)

U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

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.
