Build Your Japanese Step by Step | Supportive Lessons for Adults Hi, I'm Chihiro, a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, Japan. I've been living in Australia since 2016. Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I worked as a nurse for many years. Supporting people, listening with empathy, and helping others feel comfortable have always been important to me. I bring that same patient and supportive approach to every lesson. Who I Teach **Please note that I teach adults only. I specialise in teaching adult learners from beginner to lower-intermediate level. My lessons are ideal for adults who: • Want to communicate naturally with their Japanese spouse, partner, family members, or in-laws • Love Japanese language, culture, history, or travel • Prefer a calm and supportive learning environment • Are committed to making steady, long-term progress My Teaching Style Learning Japanese as an adult takes time, patience, and consistent practice. My goal is to help you build a strong foundation and develop confidence step by step. I focus on: ✅ Structured lessons with clear learning goals ✅ Visual materials and easy-to-follow explanations ✅ English support when needed ✅ Practical Japanese for real-life communication I believe that lasting progress comes from regular study and continued effort rather than quick fixes. If you're looking for a teacher who will support you throughout your long-term Japanese learning journey, I'd be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your Japanese language goals!

Not textbook Japanese - the Japanese you actually use Hi, I'm Yui! 👋 I'm learning English and Chinese myself, so I know both the excitement and the frustration of language learning. I have a 4-year university degree in Japanese language education, 3 years of teaching at a Japanese language school (since 2016), and 6 years of online teaching. Two things happen in every lesson, at every level. Patterns, not lists 📝 One pattern covers many sentences, so you are not memorizing. For beginners, I break verbs into 6 forms and 3 groups, with practice at every step. For intermediate and advanced learners, it is keigo, 〜んです, and the shapes that make you sound natural. Your own phrases 💬 What I hear most often is "I studied it, but I can't use it." So we collect the phrases you need - from your work, your trip, your interview - and I keep them in a spreadsheet that is yours. It grows every lesson. Then we use them in roleplay: a phone call, a hotel, meeting your neighbours, a job interview. Every 5 lessons I send you a one-page review of what you have built. My students right now are preparing for job interviews, studying for the JLPT, working in Japan, and starting from zero. The approach is the same - only the content changes. I'm a big anime fan 🎬 - Frieren, Blue Lock, Haikyu!!, Apothecary Diaries, Demon Slayer, Chiikawa - often watched in English or Chinese too. Lessons often turn into chats about what you are watching 😊 Let's make steady progress, and have fun doing it! ✨
