About me
Translated
Hello! I’m Natsumi.
I was born and raised in Japan and currently live in Kanazawa, known for having the best sushi in the country.
I love experiencing local Japanese culture and events, like the mochi-pounding at the end of the year.
I’ve lived in Canada and Thailand and traveled to 18 countries.
Through my experiences abroad, I understand the common challenges Japanese learners face.
In my previous jobs, I’ve worked in various fields including finance, insurance, accounting, customer service, design, and television.
I can tailor my lessons to suit everyone from beginners to those who want to use Japanese for work.
In my classes, I’ll introduce local Japanese culture through photos while making sure you enjoy and fully understand the language.

Natsumi-san is a wonderful tutor who has supported my learning journey for almost a year now! She has always adapted well to my learning needs - from practicing my conversation skills to preparing for the JLPT. Our lessons are always fun and engaging. She has a bright and positive personality, and is a very encouraging teacher who keeps my motivation up! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese in a comfortable and supportive environment! :)Delia
