There is just one important rule in my classes: "Don't be afraid to make mistakes!"
I like to create a relaxed learning enviroment in which students can learn according to their individual learning pace, style and, more importantly, interests. My lessons are based on a communicative approach and are mainly focused on keeping up motivation through interesting learning material and tailored learning program.


More in detail, my lessons are suited to:
- Workers who need to improve language skills (in this case, according to the specific student's needs, the program could be focused on integrating work-related vocabulary and/or business etiquette);
- Students who need guide and support in passing exams (University or JLPT from N5 to N2) or simply in mastering unclear grammar rules;
- Learners and beginners who simply need to start their learning journey for personal interest, travel, etc. (also in this case, the teaching program will be focused on integrating useful vocabulary and expressions to better suit the student's needs and interests) .

ABOUT ME: After earning a B.A. degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures from Alma Mater University in Bologna and a M.A. degree from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, I have been enthusiastically teaching and tutoring Japanese and English language while working in international offices. I have been teaching for more than 5 years now, and I have received great satisfaction from helping several students with very different learning methods in accomplishing their language goals.

Please, don't hesitate to contact me explaining why you are studying Japanese and what your interests and goals are.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!

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 ^)

The goal of this class is to achieve JLPT N1. This is for those who already obtain N2 or who have the knowledge equivalent to N2.

After achieving N2, maybe you lost your goal and don't know what to do or what to aim at. Maybe, N1 is on of your option. Achieving N1 is for sure a tough and rough way to go, but that is why I'm here!
