About SATO
Hi everyone! I'm a Japanese teacher in Birmingham/Sutton Coldfield. I grew up in Tokyo Japan, worked in various industries in Japan and America, including international film festivals, research institute, environmental NPO, and teaching etc. I studied social anthropology and hold bachelor and master degrees in sociology. I currently live in Birmingham UK and teach Japanese online and in classrooms (a boarding school and Saturday school). I can help you learn from basic Japanese to GCSE, A level or travel, survival, business, or academic level! I like arts, music, reading, gardening, DIY, cooking, baking, eating, crafting, painting, soap making, knitting, travelling, walking, scuba diving, skiing, "Onsen" natural hot spring spas...and much more! I have been teaching Japanese for over 10 years for pupils at Primary school, GCSE, A level, as well as undergraduate and master degrees students from various universities such as London SOAS, Warwick, Sheffield, York, Durham. I also taught adult tutees casual conversations and JLPT exam preparation. I teach GCSE and A level at a boarding school in Shropshire both in classroom and online. I really enjoy teaching the language and culture to those who are willing to learn more. My tutees tend to learn with me for multiple years, so I try various methods and approaches to keep their interests going. Some of them learnt with me for 10 years! :-)

I'm a very strict teacher who would.... no I'm only kidding! I am an easy-going, patient, and experienced teacher. I can help make your learning journey a much easier and joyful one. I use various materials such as textbooks, online articles, own made original files or free flow conversations - answering any questions you come up with. I am flexible and would love to discuss what your aim/target is when we start (first lesson is free trial). I can also tell you about Japanese culture both in traditional and modern/pop field that you might be interested in and to help you want to learn even more about Japanese language and culture in future! It's all tailor-made lesson for you :-) My background is not exactly coming from teaching and I believe that is where my strength is as a teacher. I used to study cultural studies / social anthropology up to master degree in Japan. I have always been fascinated by learning and knowing different society, culture and people. I used to work as an international film festival director, interpreter/translator, environmental-social NPO worker, researcher (environment and energy) for a research institute in addition to working as a teacher. I travelled a lot before coming to live in the UK. My wide range of experiences of living in different countries as well as working for various industries can contribute my lessons to be more interesting and informative for you (I hope!). I have excellent communication skills, patience, passion to teach, and curiosity to learn new things.

Perfect! The first lesson went exceedingly well. Sato is a very enthusiastic, engaging and attentive teacher who made the lesson feel like a conversation between friends, even from the beginning. I have every confidence that she will be an ideal source of support for me in the Japanese lessons that follow. Much appreciated.
- Christian already has a good knowledge of the language and is keen to learn new expressions as well. Keep it up!SATO's response :
Perfect! I approached Sato with an unusual request as I was looking to arrange an event in my workplace to celebrate the arrival of the Olympics in Japan. With Sato's dedication and hard work, we put on two events - an introductory session to Japanese language and a Japanese food demonstration. It was clear that Sato worked really hard before the sessions to create interesting and relevant content. During the session, Sato was very welcoming and helped to put us all at ease. Although this was not a typical class, Sato was very adaptable and was not put off. It was really nice to get her know her during the short time that we worked on this project and I would happily work with her again, and recommend her to others. Thank you Sato X
- Fast leaner and very passionate about the culture and language! Pleased to teach him. Thank you.SATO's response :
Perfect! Had my first lesson. She made me very comfortable and let me explain my goals and preferred way of learning Japanese. With my explanation, she quickly figured out my strength, weakness and the best ways for me to benefit from her lesson. Nothing to complain about, and so glad to find the right tutor for me. Looking forward to progress with her in fun ways!
