    About me

    KONICHIWA 🇯🇵

    My name is Mami. I’m from Okinawa and currently living in Okinawa 🌺

    I am a certified professional Japanese teacher,

    and I’ve taught over 800 online lessons for more than 3 years.


    🌍 Overseas Experience

    I have lived in:

    🇨🇦 Canada (1 year)

    🇶🇦 Qatar (3.5 years)


    In Qatar, I worked as an international flight attendant,

    ✈️ traveling to more than 40 countries and working with colleagues from many different cultures.


    I also have 8 years of experience as an elementary school teacher, so I’m good at:

    ・explaining things clearly

    ・creating fun and engaging lesson materials 😊🌸


    🤝 Lesson Atmosphere

    I respect your culture and way of thinking,

    and create a safe, open, and relaxed environment where you can speak with confidence ✨

    Making mistakes is totally okay — let’s learn in a relaxed and supportive way 🌱


    👩‍🏫 About My Lessons (Beginner Level: N5 / N4)

    📘 These lessons are for students who want to learn using Genki.

    ※ You don’t need to buy the textbook.


    I share original slides based on Genki


    We use vocabulary lists and grammar sheets (verb & adjective conjugations)

    👉 I also provide organized spreadsheets to help you with common problem areas


    Even if studying alone feels difficult,

    learning together will help you improve steadily and with confidence 🇯🇵


    ⭐️ All lesson materials will be shared with you,

    so you can review and study on your own outside of class.


    🕒 Lesson Flow (50 minutes)


    Daily questions (mood, weather, day, date) – 5 min


    Hiragana & Katakana practice (beginners / optional)


    Review of the previous lesson – 5–10 min


    Main lesson – 20–25 min


    Check today’s goals


    Vocabulary check (optional / homework)


    Grammar & speaking practice


    Q&A & preview of the next lesson


    💬 Lessons can be adjusted to focus more on conversation if you prefer.

    📝 Homework is optional.


    📈 Student Progress

    About 90% of my students start from zero, and with

    two lessons a week for about three months,

    👉 they are able to talk about their daily routines and experiences in Japanese 😊


    With English support, you can learn grammar and vocabulary from the basics and build a strong foundation.

    You’ll feel your progress as you go from ‘I understand’ to ‘I can speak.’

    👉 Book a trial lesson and give it a try 😊


    I’m really looking forward to talking with you!

      Mami-san is the best! I've attempted to learn Japanese a few times, and thanks to Mami-san's teaching style and wonderful attitude/personality, I'm committed as ever! I highly recommend choosing Mami-san to be your teacher.

      Mami is so wonderful as a teacher ! I’ve seen her for few lesson now and it was really helpful ! she’s really making the lesson for your own path, she’s giving really good advice and we have so many things in common ! And listening to her talking about Okinawa is really wonderful and helped me understand more the situation of the island. I’m really glad to have met her !

      Mami sensei creates lessons personalized just for you! Her "free talk" sessions have helped me to practice listening & speaking in Japanese on a variety of naturally occurring conversational topics! She has a great personality and patiently helps with fixing grammar mistakes! Mami-san is one of the best language teachers that I have ever had so don't hesitate and book a lesson with her ASAP! :D

      Always fully prepared, well paced and willing to help with any mistakes! Every lesson is detailed and the explanations (for example, the explanation with verbs) are thorough and well explained.
