I have BA in Japanese Linguistics and more than 6 years of experience teaching Japanese. I lived in Japan for 1.5 years attending a uni and doing research, and spent 3 years working at a Japanese workplace. As a non-native speaker, I'm JLPT N1-certified and have been using Japanese in professional settings throughout my career.

My teaching style is practical, blending communicative teaching with grammar and vocabulary drills customized to my students' needs. I focus on building active skills, like writing and speaking, and offer guidance in Japanese phonetics to help you achieve a native-like accent if that's your goal.

I offer classes at all levels, from Beginner to Advanced, including options for Business Japanese and Academic Japanese. Learning should be engaging and straightforward, so I break down complex ideas and provide extra resources for independent study to keep your motivation.
