About Seiko

I am an experienced Japanese tutor teaching Japanese for about 10 years. I have a secondary teaching credential earned in a Japanese college. I am very knowledgeable about the language and can teach the absolute beginner to the native levels. I also specialize JLPT (Japanese proficiency test) at all n5-n1 levels. My JLPT students have been successful on the test.

I was born and raised in Japan. I earned a college degree in Japan with a secondary teaching credential as well as a BS degree in the US. Prior to my tutoring career, I worked at global corporations in Japan and the US for 15+ years. I was liaisoning with the company business between the countries and involved in numerous translations and interpretations. Japaense language has unique nuance and casula/polite forms. I understand them very well through my career. My motto is "teach students from their points of view". I want to make sure that you grasp each session.

I love meeting new students with various backgrounds and connecting them. I enjoy AHA moments. Every body learn differently especially when it comes to languages. I teach the fundamentals and guide my student to apply what they learnt to their own expressions in Japanese. I love to see them challnging themself and learn the language.

I am a native Japanese speaker, born and raised in Japan. I earned a college degree in Japan with a secondary teaching credential as well as a BS degree in the US. Besides my teaching career, I am a Japanese Calligrapher certified as Kyojyu professor at the 5 Dan level. I also enjoy Sogetsu Ikebana flower arrangement.

Prior to my tutoring career, I worked at global corporations in Japan and the US for 15+ years. I liaisoned with the businesses between the countries and involved in numerous translations and interpretations between Japanese and English, which inspired me of teaching Japanese.

About the lesson

Prior to the first lesson, you will receive a questionair from me. This is to customernize your lessons and find your level (beginer/int/advance), your goal and your preference of learning either only conversations or to learn writing as well. Based on your answers, I will give you recommendations of textbooks to use in lessons. I will also use other materials for you to learn the language proactively.

High school and college students: I have been tutoring high school students for many years. I can connect young people well. I am also familiar with the textbooks being used in high schools. I tutor my students to review for the area of what he/she was not so sure in school and give homework help and test preparations.

For travelers and your interest-based lessons, I will select appropriate materials to meet your needs. You can choose either Romaji or Kana based lessons.

For business needs, my work experience would help you not only learning the language but also strengthening your communication skills in understanding its cultural aspects, nuance, and expressions. For job seekers and Japanese college applications, I have also experience in helping interview simulation and proofreading resumes and essays.

I also specialize to prepare for JLPT tests. I can teach all n5-n1 levels.

I work absolute beginners to advanced native level students.
