My lessons are personalised and structured around your individual goals. Whether you are starting from complete beginner level, preparing for the JLPT, improving your conversational skills, or deepening your understanding of Japanese culture, I will create a lesson plan that suits your needs.

For beginners, I focus on building a strong foundation in pronunciation, basic grammar, and essential vocabulary. I use clear explanations and practical examples to help you start speaking naturally from an early stage. For intermediate and advanced learners, we work on more complex grammar, natural expressions, and real-life communication skills. I also include reading, listening, and speaking practice to help you gain confidence in all areas.

As a native Japanese speaker based in the UK, I understand the challenges English speakers may face when learning Japanese. I can explain grammar points in English when necessary, ensuring that lessons are comfortable, supportive, and easy to follow.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and interactive. I encourage students to ask questions and actively participate in conversation. I believe language learning should be practical, motivating, and enjoyable.
