Mayu O.

Hello! I’m Mayu, a Japanese teacher from Saitama, currently living in Japan.

I enjoy visiting cafés, traveling, exploring Japanese culture, and trying different Asian foods. In my lessons, I incorporate real-life experiences so you can learn natural Japanese that is immediately useful for travel and daily conversations — all in a fun and engaging way.

Have you studied Japanese before using apps or lessons but forgotten much of it?

Have you traveled to Japan but struggled to communicate due to the language barrier?

I offer beginner-friendly lessons and support adult learners who want to start again from the basics in a comfortable and supportive environment.

It’s okay to make mistakes.

It’s okay if you’re not confident in your Japanese.

I will guide you step by step with clear and patient instruction.

Your lessons will be tailored to your personal goals — whether for conversation, travel, study abroad, or business. In addition to language, you can also learn about Japanese culture, traditions, and etiquette.

Let’s build your confidence together through lessons that are fun, supportive, and truly effective.

✨ If you’re ready to start, I would love to meet you in a trial lesson and create a personalized plan just for you.

I have taught over 250 lessons as an online private tutor.

I specialize in relearning the basics, grammar, daily conversation, travel Japanese, and Japanese culture & manners.

I mainly use textbooks such as Irodori, GENKI, and NHK Easy Japanese, combining conversation practice with cultural explanations.

I adapt the lessons to each student’s pace, helping you progress step by step without stress.

If you want to regain your Japanese skills or speak confidently in daily life or while traveling, you are very welcome!

I recommend taking lessons twice a week to steadily improve your Japanese skills without feeling overwhelmed.

Let’s relearn the basics together, explore Japanese culture and manners, and enjoy speaking Japanese!

I will fully support you according to your goals and needs.
