3. How long will it take to see results?

Many students feel much more confident in daily conversations after six months of consistent lessons and practice. Progress depends on your starting level and how much you engage with the language, both in and outside of class. We support your learning at the pace that’s right for you.
4. What’s your teaching style like?

Supportive and structured. I focus on conversation and real-life application, especially for business and cross-cultural settings. If you prefer, I also assign reading/writing as homework to make the most of our class time
7. How do I sign up?

Just send me a message via the Contact form or email. I’ll reply with a brief questionnaire and set up a free consultation to discuss your goals and scheduling.
2. How are your lessons tailored?

Each session is 40–60 minutes. Lessons are held twice a week via Zoom.
5. Do I need to speak any Japanese or English to start?

Nope! I’ll meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re a complete beginner or want to refine advanced business communication.
6. Do you offer group classes?

At the moment, all sessions are 1-on-1 for personalized support. In the future, small group options (4–5 students) may become available.
1. Who are your lessons for?

My lessons are designed for expats, professionals, motivated learners who want to improve their Japanese or English.
