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!!

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 ^)

Open to all levels of Japanese, based on the textbook Tobira OR Genki, I am flexible to the student and their needs, and I am able to help with all aspects, such as speaking (formal or informal), writing, and vocabulary. My goal is to help the student become comfortable, and depending on the time the student has as well as their level, I am able to accommodate and also make study sets as well; however, for beginners, time spent studying and memorising is critical. While I can help with all aspects, I am not the best at extremely formal grammar used in settings such as the workplace.
