Kaede A.

Hello! My name is Kate.

Learning a new language can be tough, but communicating across borders is so much fun, right? Let’s chat about all sorts of things in Japanese together! :)

I warmly welcome beginners and little ones too! Since I can speak English and Chinese, I’ll support you fully when you’re unsure about Japanese! Don’t be afraid of making mistakes; just dive in and try!

*Things I love:*

- Figure skating (both as a competitor and a competition founder)

- Pokémon

- Disney

- Hot springs

- Japanese cuisine

- Traveling

And more!

I’d love to hear about your favorite things too! :) Let’s enjoy our conversations while mastering Japanese together!

I have experience teaching everyone from complete beginners who just learned hiragana to advanced learners who can handle keigo, focusing on everyday conversation. By using English to support you, I’ve been able to teach the nuances of living Japanese.

Intercultural communication is my specialty, so if you’re feeling anxious about communicating in Japanese, don’t worry!

First, let me know your goals and any concerns you might have! It’s totally fine if your Japanese isn’t perfect. Let’s start with baby steps! :) I can’t wait to make our Japanese learning time a fun experience together! Looking forward to meeting you all!
