About Naomi
Nice to meet you! I’m Naomi, from Osaka, Japan, and I currently live in Thailand
People often say I have a calm and positive personality.
I always create a relaxed atmosphere and adjust the lessons to your pace♪
I love anime and manga!
I could talk forever about my favorite works like Attack on Titan, HUNTER×HUNTER, and My Hero Academia.
If you also love anime or manga, let’s have fun talking about your favorite series and characters!
️ I’m passionate about traveling!
I’ve visited 13 countries so far.
I can help you practice conversations for common travel situations.
Now I live in Bangkok, but since I lived for many years in Osaka and Kyoto, I can also recommend delicious restaurants and hidden spots there. And yes, I can teach you Osaka dialect too︎
I specialize in Business Japanese!
I worked in Japan as a recruiter (interviewer) and a business etiquette trainer, and I also hold a national qualification as a career consultant.
I have supported over 1,000 people in their career changes.
So I can definitely help you with polite expressions for work, job-hunting, and interview preparation.
️ I’m also a language learner!
I study English and Thai, so I really understand the struggles like:
“I’m not confident to speak…” / “It’s hard to catch what people say…” / “The words just don’t come out…”
That’s why in my lessons, it’s completely okay to make mistakes as many times as you need.
If there’s something you don’t understand, please feel free to ask anytime
