I understand how important it is to develop solid communication skills early on. With over 15 years of experience helping students and professionals speak with calm confidence and precision, I’ve seen how those skills can completely transform the way people express themselves and connect with others.

I graduated from Boston University’s College of Communication, where I majored in Advertising and Psychology to understand how stories and emotion shape the way people connect. I also mentor through BU Connects, supporting students as they strengthen their communication and career readiness.

I’ve always remembered the professors who made even the most difficult classes enjoyable - the ones who cared, explained with clarity, and went the extra mile to be responsive and supportive when I had extra questions. They were the kind of teachers who could make a daunting “impossible” feel completely possible. That approach shaped how I coach today. My goal is to create that same sense of clarity, encouragement, and progress for every student I work with.

My coaching blends creativity, structure, and empathy to help you find your voice and communicate with clarity, poise, and purpose. Each session is tailored to your goals and designed to create measurable progress from the start. Together, we’ll build a personalized plan that fits your pace and comfort level.

My lessons combine real-world practice, focused feedback, and positive reinforcement to help you overcome nerves, refine delivery, and articulate with impact. I welcome feedback on my end too - coaching is a collaboration built on trust and growth. Whether you’re preparing for an interview, presenting to a crowd, or simply learning to express yourself more clearly, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence and precision.

Excellent tutor

I've had a few Japanese tutors over the years, both on line and in person. I can definitely say that Mio has been one of the best so far. Like most language learners, I've spent countless hours on input (textbooks, video courses etc), but not a lot of time on output (speaking with a live person). My speaking ability isn't great, but Mio's patience and encouragement when correcting mistakes makes the entire learning process very motivating. Highly recommended for students of all skill levels.
