    About me

    Hello, I’m Ai.


    If you are preparing for JLPT N1/N2 or planning to work in Japan,

    you might feel that “you have the knowledge, but can’t express it well.”


    Through my experience living in New Zealand and working at ANA,

    I’ve seen how small differences in Japanese can change

    how your message is understood and how people see you.


    In interviews, writing, and business situations,

    it’s not only about being correct, but about how your Japanese sounds to others.


    That’s why my lessons focus on improving

    your natural and professional Japanese.


    What I offer:

    ・JLPT N1/N2 preparation

    ・Interview answer improvement

    ・Essay correction (400–600 characters)

    ・Business email & practical Japanese

    ・Keigo and more natural expressions


    In my lessons, I don’t just correct your mistakes.

    I explain:

    ・what is wrong

    ・how to fix it

    ・how to avoid the same mistakes


    After each lesson, I share clear feedback

    so you can see your progress step by step.



    Essay Editing🖊:I have experience working remotely providing feedback and corrections for exam-oriented writing and composition tasks.

    I was in charge of a writing development course for elementary-level learners, focusing on sentence structure, logical organization, and clarity of expression.

    This approach—paying close attention to how ideas flow naturally and intentions are clearly conveyed—directly supports my current teaching of intermediate and advanced Japanese learners, as well as my coaching for job interviews and professional communication.




    In the trial lesson, I will check your current level

    and give you practical advice you can use right away.


    If you want to move from “studying Japanese”

    to “using Japanese in real situations,”

    I look forward to meeting you.

      I am currently a student preparing for employment in Japan. I haven't been studying Japanese for long, and I was particularly worried about honorifics and business Japanese, but the teacher has a great strength in this area. By repeatedly using honorifics during the lessons, I was able to become naturally accustomed to them, and I truly feel that it has been very helpful. She also guided me meticulously from the beginning on writing business emails. Additionally, she helps me think about what strengths I can highlight from the perspective of a recruiter, and assists me in expressing those points well. She explained the underlying meanings of the Japanese concepts of 'honne' and 'tatemae,' which can be difficult for a foreigner like me to understand, depending on the situation, which was very beneficial. Moreover, she occasionally informs me about manners in Japan and unique aspects of Japanese culture, allowing me to continue my studies without losing interest, even during challenging times. I am always moved by her passionate teaching. I am very grateful and look forward to continuing to work with her.

      Ai-san is a very patient and supportive teacher. She helped me a lot while I was preparing for the JLPT N2, especially with vocabulary and understanding difficult points. She always explains things clearly and takes time to correct my speaking mistakes and pronunciation. Thanks to her guidance, I feel more confident using Japanese. I’m really grateful for her help and highly recommend her lessons.

      I asked Teacher Ai for help with my interview preparation. She was an even more wonderful teacher than I had imagined, and she taught me business Japanese in a very easy-to-understand way.
