About
Hi, I’m a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, currently relocating to Europe to pursue new life goals. I may not have formal teaching experience, but I’ve always loved connecting with people through language and culture. I believe learning should be enjoyable, relaxed, and personal — especially when it comes to a language like Japanese, which can feel overwhelming at first. I’m here to make it feel natural, fun, and useful. As someone who has also experienced the challenge of living in a new culture, I understand how important real-life language is. I speak English, so I can explain things clearly and support beginners with patience and friendliness. Let’s learn at your pace, talk about the things you love (anime, food, travel, daily life), and build your Japanese step by step — together.

About My Lessons
Hi! I'm a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, now teaching Japanese in a fun, casual, and flexible way. My lessons are perfect for absolute beginners, anime lovers, or travelers who want to enjoy real-life Japanese, not textbooks or boring grammar drills.
My teaching method:
I focus on conversation-based learning. That means we’ll use real-life situations (like ordering food, asking directions, or chatting with friends) as the main material. We’ll also explore phrases from anime, pop culture, or anything you’re personally interested in!
A typical lesson:
Warm-up & casual chat (in English or Japanese)
Learn new phrases or expressions from real-life or anime scenes
Practice speaking using fun role-play or casual conversation
Quick review + light homework if you want
Lessons are customized based on your interests, not a strict curriculum. We can talk about anime, travel, culture, or daily life in Japan — whatever makes learning enjoyable for you.
What makes me different:
I’m not a professional teacher — and that’s the point! I offer natural, real-world Japanese that locals actually use. I want every lesson to feel like chatting with a friend in Japan, not a school classroom. My goal is to make you enjoy learning, not stress over it.
Who it’s for:
Beginners who want to learn from zero
Travelers preparing for a Japan trip
Anime/manga fans who want to understand their favorite shows
Anyone who prefers a friendly, relaxed, and fun approach
