Mayuka Ito

My lessons are tailored to each student’s level, goals, and interests. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner, I will help you improve your Japanese step by step in a friendly and supportive environment.

For beginners, I can teach basic vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and useful everyday expressions. For more advanced learners, we can focus on natural conversation, improving fluency, expanding vocabulary, and understanding subtle differences in expressions. I can also introduce Japanese culture, customs, and everyday life to help you understand how the language is used in real situations.

As a native Japanese speaker with an IELTS score of 7.5, I can explain Japanese concepts in English when needed, making lessons easier to understand. My experience studying translation at Waseda University has also helped me appreciate the importance of expressing meaning clearly across languages.

I believe making mistakes is a natural and important part of learning. I will encourage you to ask questions, practise speaking, and learn at your own pace without feeling embarrassed. My goal is to help you build confidence and enjoy using Japanese in real-life situations!
