✨In my lessons:

- You can learn at your own pace in a relaxed, friendly environment
- It’s perfectly fine to make mistakes — that’s how we learn
- Lessons are designed just for you, with your goals in mind
- You’ll build real communication skills, not just textbook knowledge

Learning Japanese should feel fun and rewarding, not stressful or overwhelming. I’m here to support you every step of the way and help you enjoy the journey.

Let’s build your Japanese skills together — one step at a time, with confidence and a smile. I look forward to meeting you in our lesson!

Lessons are taught in Japanese, English, or a mix — whichever you prefer — and always at a pace that works for you. My focus is on making the language practical, accessible, and enjoyable, no matter your reason for learning.

Over
Hello! I’m Keiko, a native Japanese tutor based in the UK. I love helping people from all backgrounds not just learn Japanese, but truly enjoy the experience and feel confident using it in everyday conversations.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy cooking and discovering delicious food from around the world . I love travelling, spending time with my Jack Russell Terrier Stella, and learning new things myself — at the moment, I’m studying Spanish and having fun with guitar, drumming and dancing. As a fellow learner, I really understand the ups and downs of studying a new language.

Whether you're just starting out, returning after a break, or looking to build fluency, I’ll guide you in a supportive and enjoyable way — no need to be perfect, just open to learning at your own pace. Lessons with me are friendly, relaxed, and focused on steady progress.
Opleiding
BA in Clothing and Textiles, specialising in Textile Conservation, Japanese Traditional Clothing (Kimono) Construction, and Cultural Heritage at Kyoritsu Women's University, Tokyo
Leservaring
With over 10 years of experience in teaching Japanese both online and in-person, I have had the privilege of working with learners of all ages and backgrounds — from young children and teenagers to adults at every level. I specialize in tailoring lessons to meet the unique needs, goals, and interests of each student, ensuring that every lesson is both engaging and effective.

I am particularly proud of my recent achievement, where one of my students was awarded a Grade 8 in GCSE Japanese, and I am eager to support others with their GCSE Japanese preparation as well.

In addition to my extensive teaching experience, I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Specialist Support for Teaching and Learning in Schools, which has equipped me with the skills to provide specialized support for students, enhancing their learning experience in a structured and effective manner.
