About me
Translated
Hello! I'm Gen, your Japanese tutor 😊
I'm half Japanese and half French, currently living in New Zealand! 🇳🇿
(Next year, I'm planning to stay in Australia for a year! 🇦🇺)
📚 Over 3 years of teaching experience
I absolutely love teaching languages!
I've volunteered as a language teacher in schools and taught Japanese to friends abroad!
🗣 I can help with everything from daily conversation to test preparation.
Having taken many English tests myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language and the most effective ways to do it!
That's why I focus on making lessons clear, enjoyable, and sustainable!
✨ Features of My Lessons ✨
⭐️ I create a personalized learning roadmap just for you, ensuring our classes are efficient and fun!
⭐️ Lessons that incorporate your favorite hobbies like anime, games, and travel!
⭐️ I teach real Japanese, from business language to keigo (respectful language), casual speech, and slang!
⭐️ Lessons that prioritize consistency, making steady progress step by step.
⭐️ Efficient learning using the best materials, GENKI!
⭐️ I'm great at teaching everyone from complete beginners who only know "konnichiwa" to intermediate learners who are already studying Japanese! 👍
I also love learning about Japanese culture and am always studying it! So, I enjoy teaching about Japanese culture too! 🥰
Do you know how samurai raise their children?
If you're curious, feel free to ask me in class! 🧐
💬 Questions are welcome 24/7
Don't hesitate to ask anything you don't understand! 👍
A little about me 🧑🏫
🎮 Anime / Games / Travel lover

I also enjoy basketball and yoga, doing them every day!
What are your hobbies?
"I want to learn in a way that feels like talking with friends."
"I want to speak fluently and comfortably."
"I don't know where to start learning."
Whether you're a complete beginner or at an intermediate level, you're very welcome! 🎉😊
Let's nurture your Japanese together, keeping your hobbies, goals, and pace in mind! 🔥
I truly look forward to seeing you in class! 🌸
I have over 3 years of teaching experience 📚
Since I was around 15, I've worked as a tutor and taught Japanese to friends and international students!
Through these experiences, I've learned efficient and practical learning methods.
I mainly conduct classes in Japanese, but I can explain fluently in English when necessary, so feel free to ask questions!
I focus on clear explanations and natural communication, ensuring that learning is enjoyable and relaxed! 😊
Let's learn Japanese in a fun way!
While discussing anime and Japanese culture, you'll learn slang and natural Japanese expressions in a relaxed atmosphere.
I also create roadmaps for achieving individual goals, so you can learn step by step with confidence and efficiency!

I started learning Japanese for fun and I plan to take a trip to Japan one day! Gen is amazing and it's always a good time! Learning is super fun and he goes at just the right pace! Anime is also a favorite of mine and he incorporates it into our lessons! I'm super excited to continue my journey!

I have only had 2 lessons so far, but I really enjoy learning from Gen sensei and I look forward to many more! I had a long day, our meeting was @8pm for me and I left feeling energized and not drained. Juu/juu (10/10 ;) Arigatou gozaimasu, Matahashita!
