When I went to the USA, I discovered how enjoyable it is to learn and share about different cultures, sparking my interest. I’m thrilled to share my passion for language and culture with all of you! 

I have a passion for Teaching Creating moments of success for students is what motivates me. It’s really rewarding to watch their faces light up when they achieve breakthroughs in their language skills. My goal is to make learning Japanese easy, fun, and satisfying for everyone!

My Teaching Philosophy: I’ll teach each student according to their level, using everyday Japanese instead of textbook language. My approach focuses on making learning natural and practical, so students can become confident speakers. I believe in adapting my teaching to suit each student’s needs and abilities. By using real-life Japanese and personalized support, I aim to help students learn in a way that feels relevant and enjoyable, preparing them for effective communication in the real world.

What I Specialize:　For Beginner (~JLPT 5) Hobbies I enjoy watching Tarantino movies, going thrift shopping, and trying foods from different countries, with tacos being my absolute favorite!

Fun Fact: My dad used to say, “You’ll appreciate the taste of beer when you grow up,” but even at 26, it still tastes just bitter to me.
