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 ^)

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

But all your efforts are worthy. I have helped over 100 students whether to get their dream jobs or the big promotion or just to improving their Chinese for their trip.

I will plan your own personal lesson plan. Including daily conversations, business language, job interviews, preparation for exams. My method is conversational and based on real life so you can relate the language to your life and use your own examples.
I can’t wait to share you how beautiful my language is! See you in my class.

Aside from teaching, I like to watch movies and traveling.I have been to UK, Germany, Poland, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia and so on.

This class is for students who can already speak basic Japanese and want to improve their conversation skills.

In this lesson, we will have natural conversations in Japanese about books, news, daily life, culture, or any topics that interest you. The goal is to help you speak more fluently and confidently in real situations.

I will support you by correcting mistakes, teaching natural expressions, and helping you expand your vocabulary. The lesson can be relaxed and friendly, and we can adjust the difficulty depending on your level and goals.

This class is perfect for students who want to practice speaking Japanese in a comfortable environment.

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!!

This course is designed for both complete beginners and professionals who want to improve their Chinese for real-life communication or business purposes.

As a native Mandarin speaker with clear and standard pronunciation, I will help you build a strong foundation in speaking, listening, and understanding Chinese in a practical and efficient way.

For beginners, we will start from the basics, including pronunciation (Pinyin), essential vocabulary, and simple sentence structures. You will quickly gain the ability to introduce yourself, handle daily conversations, and understand commonly used expressions.

For intermediate or business learners, the course can be tailored to your specific needs, such as workplace communication, meetings, emails, and cultural understanding in Chinese business contexts.

My teaching style is flexible, interactive, and focused on real communication rather than memorizing textbooks. Lessons are adapted to your goals, whether you want to travel, study, work, or communicate confidently with Chinese speakers.

With clear guidance and structured practice, you will be able to start speaking Chinese from the very beginning and steadily improve your fluency.
