Native Japanese Online Tutor | Beginner to Intermediate Specialist | Learn in Japanese from Day 1! 🗺️ Kids (10+) OK!

PLEASE NOTE: I only offer ONLINE lessons via webcam (Zoom). I do not offer face-to-face lessons.

**Introduction**
Hello! I’m Mika, a certified Japanese teacher from Saitama.
I completed the Japanese Teacher Training Program at university, and have experience as a cram school tutor for kids.
Are you looking for a tutor who is patient, encouraging, and can help you speak Japanese naturally? You are in the right place!

**My Lesson Style: "Learn Japanese IN Japanese"**
Don't worry if you are an absolute beginner!
I teach using the Direct Method (Immersion style).
By using clear illustrations, custom slides, gestures, and practical examples, you will understand everything instinctively without relying on translation.
This is the fastest and most effective way to build a solid foundation and start "thinking in Japanese"!

**Who are my lessons for?**
Beginners : From zero to conversational! Master Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, and grammar with flashcards, quizzes, and visual slides. (Using text book Genki 1 & 2)
Intermediates : Balance your reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Expand your vocabulary and master complex grammar. (Using Text book Quartet 1 & 2)
Business / Hospitality Japanese: Learn polite expressions (Keigo) and business mail manners based on my experience in hotels and trade administration.
Kids (Ages 10+): Fun, patient, and engaging lessons for junior high and elementary school students.

**What to expect in the Trial / First Lesson**
Goal Assessment: Check your current level and talk about your goals.
Mini Lesson: Experience the "Learn in Japanese" method. You will feel "I got it!" from the very first day!
Feedback & Study Plan：I’ll help you find the best way to study Japanese step by step, based on your level and goals.

Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together! I am looking forward to seeing you in my class!
