Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a native Japanese speaker, born and raised in Japan, and I currently teach Japanese 1, 2, and 3 at a private language school. I hold a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Osaka University and a master’s degree in International Relations from Alliant International University. I have been teaching Japanese since my student years, and I have experience working with students ages 12 and up, from complete beginners to more advanced learners.
My teaching approach combines a structured academic foundation with a flexible, needs-based method. I use textbooks to help students build a solid understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure, but I also tailor each lesson based on the student’s goals. Whether you are learning Japanese for school, JLPT preparation, business communication, travel, or everyday conversation, I design lessons that focus on what you need most. In one-on-one sessions, I adjust the pace and content to match your level and learning style, so you can make steady and practical progress.
I place a strong emphasis on helping students use Japanese in real-life situations, not just understand it. My goal is to create lessons that are clear, engaging, and directly useful, so you can feel more confident speaking and understanding Japanese over time. I look forward to working with you and supporting your learning journey.
