My approach is creative and a student centred coaching rather than a traditional pedantic way of teaching. I believe a key to successful learning lies in developing trust and creativity. With my deep psychological and educational insights developed from innate talents, years of experience, observation and training, I create lesson experiences you will look forward to every time and will feel empowered and more confident afterwards.

In the first lesson, we will talk about the reasons and the purpose of learning the language, sample different textbooks, see what your learning style is and the best way to maximize your linguistic ability and develop creativity. It is also an opportunity to see if your learning style matches my teaching style.

Usually, a lesson starts with a little conversation in Japanese about your daily life and move to your chosen textbook, which is supplemented by my handout and other materials. Some people want to focus on conversation practice without text books and others prefer to learn reading and writing as well. I usually recommend beginners to approach the language from all of the aspects as it will help them to contextualise the process. I offer a dedicated and tailored set of digital flashcards, which covers the content of the lesson taught. It offers different ways to playfully refresh your memory and learn new vocabulary easily. My lessons are structurally tailored to your needs and I regularly offer opportunities to review and welcome your inputs to improve the quality of the lessons.

I am also available for special executive language coaching for people who need to learn the language quickly for their business purposes or for example purposes such as relocating to Japan or visiting Japan for business purposes. I will help you to make a detailed lesson plan to achieve your specific goal.
