About KYOKO
Hello!はじめまして!
I’m a friendly and cheerful Japanese native speaker. I will make your language journey fun and useful!
My favourite things to do:
- Cooking (especially Japanese food!)
️- Travelling (I’ve been to 20+ countries)
- Playing futsal & hiking
- Embroidery & singing (I absolutely love anime songs!)
People who know me often describe me as thoughtful, cheerful, and very easy to talk to.
I was born and raised in Aichi prefecture and have lived in Yokohama and Tokyo.
Before coming to Melbourne, I gained diverse professional experience in Tokyo across fields like international PR, travel, and food import/export.
Because of this, I can also chat about Japanese working culture, office life, or trendy topics in Tokyo!
I’m currently completing a 420-hour Japanese teacher training course to deepen my understanding of Japanese grammar, ensuring that even our casual chats help improve your natural fluency.
In our trial lesson, I’d love to hear about your interests and what you’d like to achieve.
Let's enjoy chatting in Japanese together!

I highly recommend Kyoko as a Japanese teacher! She is not only fluent and knowledgeable, but also incredibly patient and passionate about Japanese language and culture. She explains grammar in a very clear and simple way that actually sticks, and makes every lesson fun and engaging. You can really tell she cares about her students' progress. She is the perfect teacher!
Kyoko is an amazing teacher who is always willing to help. She is focused on your goals and does everything with attention to detail and friendliness.
Kyoko helped me prepare my Japanese resume and with job interviews in Japanese. Even after joining Japanese companies, she always answered my questions about using corporate formal Japanese and office etiquette. Despite my own struggles, Kyoko's positive personality helped me stay motivated and eventually we achieved exactly what we aimed for.
I highly recommend Kyoko; she is a lovely person and will make you confident in using business Japanese!Kyoko is very approachable. She has a deep understanding of what people actually need well and gives spot-on advice. When I needed help with my resume, she reviewed it quickly and thoroughly, offering insightful feedback. I highly recommend her to help you with your learning journey.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kyoko to anyone looking for a Japanese tutor who makes learning a language a truly personal and enjoyable experience!
I've had the chance to learn some useful Japanese expressions from her, and she helped spark my interest in Japanese culture. Her practical tips for casual conversations were especially helpful when I travelled solo to Osaka, allowing me to communicate with much more confidence without worrying about speaking perfect Japanese.
Kyoko is also incredibly observant and thoughtful. Knowing that I often wear scrunchies, she once gifted me one featuring a design inspired by Japanese culture. It's little gestures like this that show how well she pays attention to others and how naturally she shares her love for Japanese culture.
She's wonderful at making people feel comfortable when meeting someone new, too. Despite our different nationalities, we became close friends without any awkwardness. I believe her warmth, thoughtfulness, and genuine interest in connecting with people make her a wonderful person to learn Japanese from. I can't recommend her enough!I've known Kyoko for a while and she has a friendly and easy to understand teaching style. Even though learning a language can seem complicated, she makes it easy for me to understand and enjoy the learning process. She is always happy to answer any questions you may have, no matter what they are about. Whenever you feel stuck or want to learn something new, she is always ready to help!
