About me
Translated
Hi there! My name is Mana!
I have volunteer experience teaching Japanese to Japanese-English bilingual students at a graduate school in the UK. Currently, I work as a tutor, teaching English to Japanese students.
I studied education in Japan and educational psychology in the UK, gaining a multifaceted and international perspective on teaching.
One of my strengths is providing lessons tailored to each student, utilizing psychological insights to help maintain motivation and guide their learning journey.
Let’s have fun learning Japanese together!
In the trial lesson, I’ll carefully ask about your goals and learning objectives to suggest the best study methods for you.
If you’re feeling anxious about learning Japanese or have struggled to keep going in the past, I focus on creating enjoyable lessons that allow you to learn at a comfortable pace, drawing on psychological perspectives.
Whether you want to "become conversational" or "understand Japanese culture better," I welcome any goals you have. Let’s take it step by step and improve your Japanese skills together!

Very friendly and supportive to the learner's needs. Answers questions very clearly and incorporates contextual and cultural information into her language teaching.

I really enjoy this teacher's class. Her English is excellent! Since I prefer not to use textbooks during class and would rather study on my own, I asked her to recommend some Japanese learning books. The book she suggested is great for conversation practice. If there's anything I don't understand, I‘ll ask her during class. And because she's very fluent in English, she can explain things to me clearly and also teach me which expressions sound more natural and authentic!
