Japanese Lessons for All Ages with a Native Speaker Focused on Conversation and Culture

Hi! I’m Tomoka, a native Japanese speaker and an experienced Japanese teacher with 8 years of teaching experience in Japanese junior high and high schools. As a language learner myself, I understand that learning a new language can sometimes feel challenging. That’s why I always create a friendly and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and speaking Japanese! 🌸 What you can expect from my lessons I teach students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners. Lessons can be provided in English when needed. My lessons are personalised to your goals and interests. Whether you want to improve your conversation skills, learn grammar, prepare for a trip to Japan, or understand anime and Japanese culture better, we will create a learning style that works for you. I especially value active communication, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to actually use the Japanese you learn. 🌸 What my students say S, age 9: “Learning Japanese every week is so much fun with Tomo-sensei! My goal is to visit Japan with my family next year and use Japanese during our trip.” Z, age 20: “I would recommend Tomoka! She motivates me to want to learn more Japanese and visit Japan. Her teaching style is very interactive and open-ended, with conversations in class and writing assignments that encourage me to do further research on my own. I’m looking forward to my next lesson!” S, age 40: “Tomo-sensei is very kind and always understands how her students feel. She teaches Japanese culture in every lesson and gives me plenty of opportunities to speak. This helps me really understand and use the grammar I’ve learned.” Let’s make learning Japanese enjoyable and meaningful together. I look forward to meeting you!
