About me
Translated
Hello! My name is Miki. I majored in Islamic theology and comparative religion at a university in Malaysia during my college years. There, I studied a wide range of subjects including Islamic philosophy and theology, Western philosophy, comparative religion, and Arabic.
I’m from Gunma Prefecture in Japan, where I was born and raised, and Japanese is my native language. I also understand Arabic, which makes me particularly good at teaching Japanese to learners from Arab countries.
I have about two years of experience as a Japanese tutor, teaching friends from college and various people from around the world. Back then, I used the textbook "Minna no Nihongo" for my classes.
My lesson approach can cater to beginners and intermediate learners, adapting to your preferred learning style. For example, for beginners, I can provide lessons on hiragana and katakana, basic grammar, casual conversation, and even keigo (polite language).
If you have any materials you’d like to use in our lessons, please feel free to let me know.
Hello! I’d love for you to join my Japanese lessons and learn Japanese together! My lesson style is very flexible, so don’t hesitate to tell me what kind of lessons you’d like to have!

Miki has been a great tutor so far. She is very organised and has laid out a word document that I can view in between lessons to help me revise which has been extremely helpful. She has also given me lots of great advice for my trip to Japan and is always happy to answer any questions I have.

I’ve been learning with Miki for the past 3–4 months. We focus mainly on conversation and listening, which has helped me improve a lot in a short time. I’d definitely recommend Miki’s lessons to anyone who wants to practice speaking and listening.

Miki is patient and explains each lesson clearly. Very sweet, and listens when experiencing a hiccup in each lesson. Provides useful revision that helps with transition you to the next lesson.💚

Miki-san matches my pace perfectly. I've mainly picked this up to improve my listening and conversational skills and Miki-san knows how to correct me while answering my questions on phrasing. Her English is superb and makes it so much easier to discuss topics.

Miki is always patient to explain words and phrases to me, and it helps that she's open and flexible in how we approach classes and how we use our time so it helps maximise learning!
