When practicing conversation with me, you’ll build confidence by actually speaking Japanese. I’m a good listener, so I naturally draw out your Japanese and help you talk more than you thought you could.Even if your expressions or nuances are slightly off, I always praise your effort first. As a native Japanese teacher, I can understand what you want to say, and I’ll guide you gently—either in English or Japanese—to help you express it more naturally.And don’t worry if the words don’t come out right away! I’m happy to wait. I like giving learners the space to think, try, and speak. The more you talk, the more you’ll be able to say—bit by bit, it really works.In our lessons, I’ll notice where you hesitate or struggle and create materials that match your needs. Even when we use a textbook, I personalize the examples to fit your daily life so you can clearly see how each phrase connects to real situations.Let’s talk, talk, and talk—your Japanese will definitely grow!

I explain grammar points and Japanese pronunciation tips in English so you can learn comfortably. However, during practice, we’ll use as much Japanese as possible and build conversation skills together.Everyone starts as a beginner, so don’t worry. I create original PowerPoint materials before each lesson, tailored to your level and goals. We’ll begin with the basics—especially learning how to greet and introduce yourself in Japanese. And if you want to study grammar more deeply, I will, of course, teach it thoroughly.Even complete beginners will be supported step by step, starting from the very basics.
