Natsumi`

I aim to create a comfortable and supportive learning environment where you can enjoy studying Japanese with confidence and without pressure.

I have experience teaching students from age 14 through to adults, with levels ranging from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for the JLPT N3 and N2 exams. Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, interests, and learning pace.

I like to use a wide variety of materials depending on what works best for you — from Genki textbooks and NHK Japanese resources to anime, songs, news articles, and other topics you personally enjoy. My lessons focus on helping you build natural conversational skills while keeping learning engaging, practical, and enjoyable over the long term.

I believe language learning can sometimes feel intimidating when you are studying alone, especially when it comes to speaking. I want to be someone who supports and encourages you so you can feel more comfortable expressing yourself in Japanese without worrying too much about making mistakes or feeling shy during conversations.

Learning a language is something you ultimately do yourself, but I aim to be there as your steady support, helping you stay motivated, confident, and unafraid to try speaking. I will guide you step by step so you can grow at your own pace and actually enjoy the process.

Having studied both English and Chinese myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language and can also share useful study methods and effective learning strategies to help you progress more smoothly and stay motivated throughout your learning journey.
