    About me

    Hi, I’m Hikari✨

    your friendly Japanese tutor from Japan!🌞👩‍🌾


    I love helping beginners feel confident with Japanese.

    Even tricky grammar? Don’t worry! I explain it in a fun and simple way using original materials and practice workbooks I make just for you.👏


    Want to practice conversation? Understand grammar? Learn step by step?

    I’ll support you like a Japanese-speaking friend.🤝



    ➡︎My lessons are perfect for:

    ⭐️Beginners who want gentle, step-by-step guidance

    ⭐️Learners who struggle with grammar and want clear, visual explanations

    ⭐️Students who want to improve their conversation skills with real-life topics

    ⭐️Children (I’ve taught Japanese to children and beginners, assisted in language classes back in Seattle)


    ➡︎What I use in my lesson:

    📗 Original study materials

    -to help students understand even the most difficult grammar in a simple and visual way.

    📙Custom-made workbooks

      -for practice and review, so you can truly master what you’ve learned.



    I studied abroad in Seattle, worked on a farm in Australia, and now live in the peaceful Japanese countryside🏔️🇯🇵

    In class, I bring my creative side too – I love drawing, making visuals, and using real-life topics.🎨🖼️✨



    Let’s enjoy Japanese together, at your pace!

    I’m here to cheer you on and help you grow with every lesson! I I’m looking forward for seeing you in our lesson🫶



    When I studied abroad at a high school in Seattle, I assisted as a tutor in a third-grade class as part of an education course. I also helped as a tutor for Japanese language classes at that high school!


    Hi everyone! I’m Hikari⭐️

    Let’s have fun leaning Japanese together!

    CHILDREN AND BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME🙆‍♀️

    I will help you out until you achieve your goal!

    I will promise you can improve your Japanese skill either way you take a 25 minute or 50 minute lesson👍
