Misa S.

Are you a complete beginner in Japanese?

Do you feel nervous because you don’t know any Japanese yet?

Or are you planning to visit Japan and want to learn some useful phrases before your trip?

You’re in the right place 😊

No Japanese? No problem.

Lessons start from zero and build step by step in a way that actually makes sense.

Instead of memorizing random phrases,

you’ll understand how Japanese works and start forming your own sentences.

We’ll practice pronunciation, basic grammar, and everyday expressions,

and connect them to real situations like restaurants, transportation, shopping, and simple conversations.

So when you’re in Japan, you won’t feel lost.

You’ll understand what’s being said, respond naturally, and handle everyday situations with confidence.

Instead of feeling stuck or relying on translation apps,

you’ll start speaking on your own — even with simple Japanese — and enjoy real communication.

Everything is explained clearly in English, so nothing feels confusing.

Hi, I’m Misa, a Japanese tutor based in Hokkaido, Japan.

I’m a LearnZone Certified tutor and a main instructor in an online Japanese language program.

Having lived abroad for many years, I understand how overwhelming Japanese can feel at the beginning — especially for travel.

Lessons are friendly, relaxed, and tailored to your pace and your goals.

If you’re ready to feel confident using Japanese in real life,

I’d love to help you 😊

Let’s start your Japanese journey together!

I’ve taught Japanese to students of all ages — from curious kids to adults learning for travel, work, or pure love of Japan

Before teaching online, I taught Japanese language and math at a Japanese supplementary school in the U.S., and English to students in Japan.

These experiences helped me understand how to make learning comfortable, engaging, and personalized for everyone. Whether you’re shy, talkative, or just starting out, I’ll help you find your way to enjoy learning Japanese.

Don’t wait until you “feel ready” — let’s just start and have fun with it! 🎉

You’ll be surprised how much Japanese you can already understand once we start chatting!

Come join me for a relaxed, cozy lesson where learning feels natural, not stressful.
