My teaching approach is rooted in engaging conversation, where I encourage students to actively participate and express themselves. Lessons are interactive, and I utilize multimedia such as videos and music to bolster understanding and retention.
While I base my lessons on renowned resources like "Genki", I also integrate real-life situations and scenarios. This ensures not just textbook knowledge but also a genuine understanding of everyday Japanese, which can be used on a trip to Japan or in professional contexts.
Typical Length of a Lesson:
Each lesson typically lasts for 60 minutes. This duration allows us ample time to cover a topic thoroughly, engage in interactive exercises, and review the previous lesson's content.
Qualifications/Experience:
I lived in the UK for 4 years and in Canada for a year, exposing me to diverse cultures and enhancing my teaching methods.
I hold a Film Studies BA from King's College London. During my university years, I assisted many peers in their Japanese learning journey, which gave me practical experience in tutoring. This blend of cultural exposure and practical experience enables me to understand the challenges faced by learners and guide them effectively.
Who Are My Lessons For?:
My lessons cater to a broad spectrum of learners:
- Complete beginners looking to dive into the Japanese language.
- Intermediate learners aiming to polish their conversational skills.
- Advanced students seeking to refine their grammar and vocabulary.
Age-wise, I've worked with teenagers, university students, and adults. So whether you're a student, a working professional, or someone with a passion for Japanese culture, I'd be thrilled to be a part of your language journey!

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Kanako.
Perfect! Kanako-san was knowledgeable, patient and able to tailor to my requirement. Thank you!
Perfect! It was only a trial lesson, but she was good at recognizing my abilities, the gaps in my vocabulary and grammar that needed to be addressed, and made a good proposal for how to conduct future lessons. Her English is excellent and she explained grammatical issues well. She is a good listener and used our short time together well. I look forward to her systematic approach to learning Japanese.

Kanako isn’t just an outstanding tutor; she’s become a cherished friend to our family. My daughter, though bilingual, struggled with Japanese writing and grammar. Enter Kanako, with her profound knowledge and amiable nature. In the time they’ve worked together, not only has my daughter’s proficiency improved, but she’s also grown fond of their sessions. Their bond goes beyond the classroom, making learning natural and enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend Kanako to anyone seeking comprehensive Japanese guidance.
Kanako is a phenomenal tutor, and I’m grateful for our sessions. Studying Japanese under her guidance for a year has been transformative. Not only does she make complex grammar easy to grasp, but she also integrates Japanese culture and history seamlessly. Our lessons, packed with real-life conversational practices, are always engaging. Even though they’re focused, there’s a lightness to them, thanks to Kanako’s approachable nature. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone aiming to understand Japanese deeply. Thank you, Kanako-sensei!
