Not at all. We will prioritize conversation to get you speaking immediately. If you wish, we can gradually introduce Hiragana and Katakana to help perfect your pronunciation.

Both. I use English for clear explanations of nuances and gradually shift to Japanese as you progress. This ensures a stress-free and effective learning experience.

My private lessons focus on authentic communication and cultural connection. I specialize in helping you enjoy deep conversations and elevate your travel experiences. For those specifically seeking JLPT certification, I offer a separate, dedicated course—please contact me for details.

I teach "language + mindset." Beyond grammar, you will learn the etiquette and subtle nuances of Japanese culture. For example, instead of a blunt "No," you’ll learn sophisticated ways to decline while maintaining harmony.

Standard private lessons are 60 minutes, while Casual Conversation sessions are 30 minutes.

Most clients choose to meet once or twice a week. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle—we can determine the ideal rhythm for you during our initial consultation.

Absolutely. Your lifestyle and goals may evolve, and I am here to support those changes. Whether you wish to increase your sessions for an upcoming trip to Japan or switch to a more relaxed pace, we can adjust your plan at any time.

I accept credit cards and bank transfers. Payments are made in advance every 4 weeks.

The date and time for the next lesson will be determined at the end of each session. However, if you prefer a fixed weekly schedule, I can arrange that as well. I want you to enjoy your Japanese learning journey with maximum flexibility and without feeling restricted, which is why I follow this approach!
