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 ^)

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

I am a Japanese woman who was born and raised in Osaka Japan.
I studied cross-cultural communication at a university in Tokyo and followed a Japanese language teacher education program established by the Japanese government.

These courses are intended for people who want to learn Japanese but also Japanese culture. Are you passionate about manga or cooking? Or do you want to chat with your Japanese or Japanese friends? Otherwise you want to travel or work in Japan? (Learn professional and important codes for all companies, officers and employees.)
I would happily teach you the Japanese and Japanese culture you need :)

Mes cours tournent en grande partie autour d'un manuel qui est à se procurer extérieurement mais ma priorité est de m'adapter aux envies de l'élève.
Cela se déroule généralement les dimanches mais les horaires peuvent varier en fonction des disponibilités de l'élève et des miennes.
J'offre également la possibilité d'assister au cours par deux, dans le cas où des ami(e)s souhaiteraient y participer ensemble.

Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your linguistic journey with my hardest!! My lessons will be provided in English and Japanese!

First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master.
Currently, I am also learning Arabic and French myself, so I completely understand how tough it is to learn new languages from the start, and there’s no easy way to acquire a new language. That’s why I’d love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!

Titulaire de Master 2 en japonais et enseignante particulière depuis 10 ans + expérience en collège-lycée (désormais traductrice), je propose des cours de japonais de deux types :

- Des cours « classiques »

- Des cours basés sur une nouvelle méthode d’apprentissage, fondée sur les sources authentiques. Autrement dit, apprendre le japonais en traduisant du jeu vidéo, du manga, des nouvelles, des vidéos Youtube etc... Cela dépendra de vos goûts et de vos objectifs.

Par ailleurs, ces cours sont excellents pour ceux qui apprennent déjà le japonais et veulent renforcer leur niveau ou élargir leur apprentissage (maîtrise d’un japonais oral naturel par exemple)

Dans tous les cas, nous construirons des cours qui s’adapteront à vos objectifs ainsi qu’à votre manière d’apprendre. Vous êtes toujours libres de m’exposer vos envies et de me demander des modifications quant au déroulement du cours. Je suis là pour m’adapter à vous et que vous appreniez dans les meilleures dispositions.

Je propose ces cours en visio pour profiter des outils que nous offre l’informatique, très pratiques en japonais.

J’accueille tous les âges à partir de de 12 ans. J’estime qu’il faut des techniques d’apprentissage spécialisées pour apprendre une nouvelle langue à un enfant.

N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour discuter de tout cela !
