Sayaka Oura

My lessons are designed to help you use Japanese naturally and confidently in real-life situations. While I also welcome beginners, I especially enjoy working with intermediate and advanced learners who want to improve their speaking skills, sound more natural, or deepen their understanding of Japanese culture and communication.

Every student has different goals, so I always tailor my lessons to your needs and learning style. Whether you want to improve conversation, prepare for a trip to Japan, use Japanese at work, or discuss topics that interest you, I'll create lessons that are both enjoyable and effective. I believe that learning is most successful when students feel relaxed, motivated, and comfortable making mistakes.

As someone who has spent many years learning English myself, I understand how challenging—and rewarding—learning another language can be. That's why I always try to be patient, supportive, and encouraging. My goal is not only to teach Japanese, but also to help you gain the confidence to use it in everyday life.

With over 100 hours of online teaching experience and an average student rating of 4.8/5, I have worked with learners from a variety of backgrounds and levels. I also have professional experience in banking and administration in Japan, so I can help students who would like to learn business Japanese or communicate more naturally in professional settings.

I look forward to helping you achieve your Japanese learning goals. Let's enjoy learning together!
