Feeling nervous about studying Japanese on your own? I’m an experienced tutor, and I’ll guide you until you can speak Japanese comfortably! 🌸About Me 🌸 Hi, I’m Minami, a native Japanese tutor from Japan. I’ve taught 1500+ Japanese lessons to learners from many backgrounds. I believe speaking comes from feeling safe, not being perfect. In my lessons, mistakes are always welcome—I never stop you or judge you. I want you to feel comfortable saying, “I’m not sure, but I’ll try.” Each lesson starts with light conversation about your daily life, so you learn Japanese you can actually use. My goal is simple: you speak more, relax more, and leave thinking, “Hey... I can speak Japanese!” 👩‍🏫 What I Teach 👩‍🏫 Beginners Welcome 🔰 If you’re thinking: - “I don’t know where to start...” - “I’m not confident with hiragana...” No worries. We’ll start slowly, together ! Lessons focus on getting used to speaking, not memorizing. - Hiragana & katakana (in a practical way) - Basic pronunciation and rhythm - Greetings, self-introductions - Simple daily conversations and grammar Your goal will change from “I’m scared to speak” → “Oh, I can do this!” → “This is fun!” 🎓My Strengths 🎓 ✔ A safe, supportive atmosphere ✔ Plenty of speaking time—you’re really heard ✔ Personalized lessons (materials provided, no textbook needed) ✔ Japanese becomes a fun habit, not stressful study
