こんにちは、ご覧いただき、ありがとうございます
If you are Job hunters, Expats, and Professionals working with Japanese clients or working in Japan, This is the lesson for you!

Working in a Japanese environment can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In this 1-on-1 class, we strip away the "textbook " and focus on the strategic communication you need to succeed.

What we will cover together:

Keigo for Daily Work: Learn to use Humble (Kenjougo) and Respectful (Sonkeigo) verbs naturally, not just memorizing lists.

・The "Cushion" Technique: Master phrases that soften requests and rejections to maintain harmony (Wa) at work.
・Email & Phone Etiquette: Write professional emails that get results and handle calls without the panic.

If you already know basic Japanese but want more confident in a business meeting, this class is for you. I provide a safe space to practice high level Japanese so you can make your mistakes with me and look Subarashii in front of your client!!

Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

Moving to Japan? Dating a Japanese Partner? Let’s Make You Fluent Naturally🇯🇵

Ex-Editor from Tokyo, Now Teaching in London

Hello, I’m Minami.

If you want to speak natural Japanese, not textbook Japanese, I’m here to help you.

I’m originally from Tokyo and currently living in London.
I worked as an editor at a major publishing company in Japan before moving to the UK for graduate study.

Because I’ve studied English and French for many years (and lived abroad), I truly understand the joy, frustration, and breakthrough moments of learning a new language.

🌿 Who I work best with:
• People planning to move to Japan
• Those with a Japanese partner
• Professionals who need business Japanese
• Learners who want to understand Japanese culture deeply

In our lessons, you will:

✓ Speak more confidently from Day 1
✓ Learn expressions real Japanese people actually use
✓ Understand cultural nuance (not just grammar)
✓ Build a personalised study system that fits your life

I have taught Japanese to over 20 learners through language exchange programs and now teach online students worldwide.

In our first lesson, we will clarify your goals and create a clear action plan. You’ll leave with practical phrases you can use immediately.

Learning Japanese should feel motivating, not overwhelming.
Let’s build your confidence step by step.

I look forward to meeting you.

This is an online Japanese interview preparation class for students who want to prepare for job interviews, university interviews, or other formal situations.

In this lesson, you will practice answering common interview questions in Japanese, such as self-introduction, strengths and weaknesses, motivation, and future goals.

I will help you improve your answers, correct mistakes, and teach you natural and polite Japanese expressions commonly used in interviews. You will also learn how to speak more clearly and confidently.

I can also correct and improve your written Japanese, such as self-introduction essays, application forms, entry sheets, and motivation letters. I will provide detailed feedback and suggest more natural expressions.
*If you only need writing correction, please choose a shorter lesson, such as 30 or 45 minutes.

Mock interviews, writing corrections, and detailed feedback are available to help you succeed in real interview situations.

This class is suitable for students who want to study or work in Japan.
