Kaori Y.

Hi, I’m Kaori! My hobbies include studying English, cooking, yoga, walking, and traveling. I’ve been taking daily online English lessons for about 15 years now because I enjoy them so much! It’s such a joy to see my English improve little by little. Having been a student for a long time, I truly understand the excitement and happiness of learning a language, as well as the challenges and frustrations that come with it.

I have experience teaching Japanese to beginners at a Japanese language school. If you have any questions, concerns, or anything you’d like to talk about during our lessons, please ask me! My English is good enough for daily communication.

I’m a cheerful, friendly, and positive person who’s always smiling.

I am a certified Japanese language teacher with professional experience at a Japanese language school. I have specialized in beginner-level learners and expatriates living in Japan. My teaching style is highly interactive, incorporating practical role-playing to help you feel confident in real-life situations.

My top priority is ensuring that my students enjoy learning Japanese! I provide support with care, kindness, and patience, tailoring each lesson to your specific pace and level. My classes are highly interactive, giving you plenty of opportunities to speak.

For beginners, I’ll help you master the basics—Hiragana, Katakana, and greetings—while working toward fluency in daily conversation.

I use textbooks like 'GENKI' and 'Minna no Nihongo' along with real-life online materials, realia (such as actual restaurant menus, brochures, and advertisements), games, and role-playing to make our studies fun and practical.

I am also a certified nutritionist, so if you want to cook Japanese foods, let's plan the menu in Japanese together!
