Kino

Hello! My name is Kino, and I am passionate about helping people learn Japanese through real-life situations and Japanese culture.

Although I am new to professional Japanese tutoring, I have spent years working in the travel and international education industry. Through my work, I have met many foreign visitors and Working Holiday visa holders living in Japan.

I have seen firsthand the challenges they face when trying to find jobs, communicate with coworkers, make Japanese friends, and become part of the local community. This inspired me to teach Japanese in a practical way that helps learners feel more comfortable and confident in everyday life.

My lessons focus on communication and real conversations. Rather than spending the entire lesson studying grammar or writing by hand, I encourage students to actively speak Japanese and use what they learn in realistic situations. My goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can practice speaking, make mistakes, and gradually build confidence.

Together, we can work on useful Japanese for daily life, work, travel, social situations, and cultural understanding. I can also share insights about Japanese customs, workplace culture, and communication styles that can help you connect more naturally with Japanese people.

Whether you are planning to visit Japan, move here on a Working Holiday visa, or simply improve your conversational skills, I would be happy to support your journey.

My goal is to help you feel connected to Japan and the people around you.

I look forward to meeting you and speaking Japanese together!
