Trusted teacher: Hello, my name is Emi. I live in Tokyo and work in an office while also teaching Japanese. I majored in Economics at university and have over 20 years of experience working in back-office roles. Along the way, I enrolled in an art university and completed a master’s program in art studies while working. After working as a part-time university lecturer, I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation. About My Lessons Drawing on what I’ve learned through my professional experience and academic background, I offer practical and personalized lessons tailored to each learner’s needs. I provide lessons mainly in Japanese, but I can also support learners in English when necessary. You can feel relaxed and enjoy the learning process at your own pace. ◆Conversation Lessons: From Small Talk to Office Communication Target: Learners who want to improve their conversational skills in natural Japanese Content: Small talk, workplace interactions, phone and email communication, polite expressions, and selecting appropriate language depending on the situation, etc. In Japanese, honorifics and expressions vary subtly based on context and the relationship(level of familiarity or social distance) with the listener. My lessons help you naturally master these nuances by exploring the cultural values and thought patterns behind the language, while practicing realistic conversations. ◆Lessons Using the ‘GENKI’ Textbook Practice Sections Target: learners who being studing with GENKI or who want to review. Content: Adapted practice sections that are often difficult to tackle alone, focusing on sentence patterns and other grammar points. The goal is to reinforce what you have learned and help you use it confidently in conversation. ◆Reading Comprehension Lessons (News Articles / Novels / Essays, etc.) Target: Learners who want to deepen their understanding of written Japanese and enhance vocabulary and expression Content: Using authentic Japanese texts such as news articles, novels, and essays, we work on vocabulary, grammar, and contextual understanding to improve reading comprehension. You will also develop the ability to interpret cultural nuances and implied meanings, and engage in discussions to enhance your critical thinking and expressive skills. ◆Academic Japanese Target: University or graduate students, or those who need to prepare presentations or read and write papers ※For more details, please feel free to contact me. Lastly, a Few Words About My Approach to Teaching Japanese Having studied English and Spanish myself, I deeply appreciate the complexity and subtlety of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, and direct translations are often insufficient. By learning the cultural and contextual background behind expressions, you can achieve more natural and precise communication beyond just knowing vocabulary and grammar. Therefore, my lessons emphasize sharing the cultural nuances behind the language. This approach makes communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to contact me.!!

After you provide me your goal and request, I will customize a lesson for you.

Understanding something and being able to do the thing are totally different things. After you understand meanings or grammar points, I will assist you to reach the point that you can actually use it to express yourself in Japanese. Repetition is the key for learning language but it should be fun so that you can keep up motivation. That's why I am here for you until you can actually use Japanese to communicate with other people. Even JLPT doesn't have speaking test, improving communication skill in Japanese will boost your score to the next level. I will provide you reasonable homework each time, for example : Writing diaries or essays in Japanese, Kanji practice, etc. And I have a PhD and have been a Japanese tutor for American students in the US for years. Additionally, I have six years of experience in Japanese public schools and lived in many cities in Japan. We can share many unique Japanese culture that I experienced and studied in Japan, too. I love to talk to new people and share different perspectives and experiences to each other. Do you want to improve your speaking and communicating skills in Japanese?

Trusted teacher: What are your goals? Let's work together hand in hand to achieve them! In my lessons... 📕🇯🇵 “Is textbook Japanese different from real Japanese?” Sometimes it is! The textbook phrase “つまらないものですが” (“It's nothing special, but...”) is now outdated. Instead, ‘気に入ってくれるとうれしいです’ (“I'd be happy if you like it”) sounds more natural and leaves a better impression ☺️ You'll enjoy learning this kind of “real Japanese.” 🇯🇵🗾 How do you say “How are you?” in Japanese? What should you say for casual greetings? I'll gently explain cultural backgrounds and how to read emotions, making Japanese communication more enjoyable and understandable. 3 Create natural sentences with fun topics! “Conjunctions are tough...” “Is this phrasing correct?” When you feel that way, let's create sentences using fun themes! “My Favorite Things” or “My Dreams” With unique practice like this, you'll naturally pick up Japanese expressions. 4 Your Personal Feedback Notebook During lessons, I'll correct the words you speak into natural, correct Japanese and write them in your notebook. Hiragana included if needed. Reading them aloud after lessons ensures you truly master usable Japanese. I specialize in lessons that are “gentle, polite, fun, and bright.” Students often tell me, “I feel more confident!” and “I enjoy speaking now!” Let's level up your Japanese together using a learning style that suits you!

Excellent tutor, our teenager is very happy as Natsue has a great way of approaching her. Makes learning Japanese fun and thorough at the same time. By the way, we also very much appreciate Natsue ́s communication, always precise and punctual. We certainly would recommend her.
