About Eri
Hello, my name is Eri. I am from Tokyo.
***
Based in Japan
I currently teach online from Japan (JST timezone).
***
I have taught students from 8 to 74 years old, so I am comfortable working with learners of all ages and backgrounds.
I have experience working at a Japanese language school in Sri Lanka, where I supported students in their learning.
I also worked in university administration and as a childcare professional. I enjoy supporting people’s growth and find it very rewarding to help students improve step by step.
I enjoy learning new things and different cultures, and I love traveling. I have visited more than 40 countries, which helps me understand people from diverse backgrounds and create a relaxed and friendly learning environment.
[Student feedback]

Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Eri.
Perfect! Eri was a great teacher. She was very patience and encouraging. She improvised some of our lessons to cater towards a specific topic in Japanese. I also enjoyed how she asked review questions after chapters were completed to test what was learned.
- She is a very dedicated and consistent learner. Despite her busy work schedule, she always takes the time to review thoroughly, and often asks insightful follow-up questions based on what she has studied. I can clearly see her progress in Japanese. It is also impressive that she consistently attends lessons twice a week. It’s always a pleasure to study with her, and I look forward to seeing her continued improvement!Eri's response :
Perfect! I am extremely pleased with Eri san! My confidence has grown tremendously while learning so much from her. It is clear she is very knowledgeable, and has patience to adapt to my learning style.
- He responds quickly and is easy to communicate with. He approaches his studies with enthusiasm, has a strong interest in Japan, and it's enjoyable to have various conversations with him. I look forward to continuing to see his growth.Eri's response :
Perfect! Great response time and very patient. I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking lessons.
- The response is prompt and courteous. I can really sense his enthusiasm for learning Japanese. He will continue to improve more and more from here on out.Eri's response :
Perfect! Eri-san is amazing! She’s friendly, patient, and really knows her stuff. My daughter Maya did an N5 review lesson with her, and Eri-san explained things clearly and made everything easy to understand. She also shared helpful tips, links, and resources. She was very generous with her time and really accommodating. We’re so glad we found her. Highly recommend!
- Her daughter is enthusiastically studying Japanese, and I find myself inspired by her as well.Eri's response :
She approaches her studies with such earnest enjoyment, and I look forward to seeing her continued growth.
Perfect! Eri is an exceptional Japanese instructor whose dedication and teaching skill set her apart. She approaches language education with remarkable care and patience—qualities that foster genuine growth in her students. Rather than focusing solely on vocabulary acquisition, Eri emphasizes full-sentence communication and deeper linguistic understanding, enabling her students to think and express themselves naturally in Japanese.
Her ability to review and reinforce previously learned material demonstrates a pedagogical maturity that ensures mastery rather than momentary familiarity. With the patience of two hundred wise teachers, Eri creates a supportive learning environment where students feel both challenged and encouraged.
Eri’s methodical, yet compassionate approach makes her an outstanding choice for anyone serious about achieving fluency and confidence in Japanese.- He always approaches my lessons with a forward-thinking, proactive attitude, and I find his approach inspiring.Eri's response :
He enjoys doing his prep and review work, and each time we talk, we gain a deeper understanding of each other's cultures and customs.
It's a pleasure to progress through the lessons with him.

えりの人生が常にチャレンジの連続で、何事も前向きに取り組み、勉強し努力していまこうして先生になっています。生徒に対してどんな授業をするべきか常に考える情熱的な姿勢をもっているので、日本語を教わる人々を良い方向へ導いてくれると思います。えりの授業は、声かけは優しく間違っても大丈夫、チャレンジしようという前向きな気持ちにさせてくれます。さぁみなさん、えりの授業を受講しましょう。
私はえりさんの大学時代からの友人です。えりさんには、年に何度か会う機会がありますが、海外で経験したことを楽しげに話してくれます。ちょっとしたトラブルでも、その場で臨機応変に対応できる力をもっていると思います。また、サプライズでその土地のお土産を持ってきてくれます。その行動から、相手のことを考えて、最善のカリキュラムを考えてくれると思いました。えりさんの授業風景を一度見たことがありますが、とても丁寧で、熱心に教えていました。そんな姿を見て、私が英語を学ぶときは、えりさんのような先生に教えてほしいと思いました。
I highly appreciate her dedication to teaching. She is passionate, patient, and attentive to her students' individual needs. She carefully adapts her teaching materials and methods to suit each student's level, which creates a supportive and effective learning environment.
素晴らしい先生です、 安心して学ぶことができます。I had the pleasure of studying alongside Eri in our Japanese language teacher training course, and I have always admired her dedication, professionalism, and passion for education.
Throughout the course, Eri consistently approached her studies with sincerity and determination. Despite having a busy professional career, she never lost sight of her goals and continued working hard to develop her teaching skills. Watching her pursue her ambitions with such commitment was truly inspiring.
Eri is also a globally minded professional who frequently travels abroad for work and has extensive international experience. What impresses me most is that, despite her demanding schedule, she remains highly motivated to learn about Japanese language education. Even today, I often see her actively participating in Japanese teaching workshops and professional development activities, demonstrating her ongoing passion for helping learners succeed.
One of my most memorable experiences with Eri was during a teaching practicum in our training course, where we had the opportunity to participate in a mock lesson together. Her lesson was engaging, well-structured, and highly effective. More importantly, she created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encouraged students to speak Japanese without fear of making mistakes. Her friendly personality and ability to make learners feel comfortable are among her greatest strengths as a teacher.
I am confident that students who study with Eri will not only improve their Japanese skills but also enjoy the learning process in a supportive and encouraging environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Eri to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and approachable Japanese teacher.
Eri (I call her SENSEI SUBARASHI) has my strongest recommendation as a Japanese language teacher. In just 5 months of study, I’ve already started recognizing speech patterns and building a solid beginner vocabulary — something I never thought I could achieve so quickly.
We use the Nihongo FUN & EASY textbook, and Eri consistently guides me through three audio sessions in a single lesson, making every class engaging, productive, and immersive. Speaking, listening, and doing the exercises is a joy. Her teaching style is patient, encouraging, and incredibly effective. She takes the time to carefully correct my pronunciation mistakes and explains concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand and remember.
What truly sets Eri apart is her dedication and ability to make learning Japanese feel approachable and enjoyable. Every lesson is well-paced, motivating, and tailored to help students gain confidence speaking and listening.
Quite simply, this is the best Japanese teacher you can find at any price. If you are serious about learning Japanese and want a teacher who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your progress, Eri (SENSEI SUBARASHI) is exceptional.View more recommendations
