A patient and knowledgeable native tutor with a Linguistics degree offering Japanese lessons!
I'm based in Blackrock. My lessons are face-to-face at a cafe in Blackrock or at my student's home (when it's not too far from Blackrock/Stillorgan) as I don't drive and have young kids. Online lessons are available if students wish to practice speaking rather than learning grammar or working on a textbook. I can also teach Shodo(Japanese Calligraphy), Origami, and how to make karaage, teriyaki dishes and matcha desserts.
My availability changes every week except a 7-8pm slot (I'm available from 7-8pm every week on Mon-Wed, Sat and Sun) due to my husband's work schedule.
I have 3-4 days every week where I'm available from 2pm onwards. (Some week I'm available from Fri to Mon, other week I'm available from Tue to Thurs). I'm also available from 10:30-12:00 on weekdays.
I teach all ages and all levels (including Leaving Cert students).
I have 4 years one-on-one teaching experience (in Japan, Australia and Ireland) with adults, teens and kids.
I come from a Linguistic background (I have a degree in English Linguistics), which not many tutors actually do, but having the knowledge is extremely important when it comes to learning a language because the difficulties you face are often due to what your native language is and the difference between your native language and the language you are learning.
Before I started university, I wasn't confident in my English skills though I was always getting good grades at school. Being immersed into Linguistics taught me the whole new perspectives.
I offer advice and recommendations, but I usually let my students pick textbooks as every student has different preferences and goals.
Lessons can be tailored to meet individual requirements/requests.
I also offer my students translation/interpreting/proofreading services too should they need them.
I have been living in Ireland since 2018.
I have a degree in English Linguistics, in addition to being a translator/interpreter/proofreader.
I have hands on experience in learning another language (English) and have academic knowledge (Linguistics) so I'm passionate about what I do!
My hometown is Kochi (born and raised there), which is on Shikoku island. It's quite far from any major well-known cities like Tokyo, but I'd say it's a hidden gem. If you'd like to visit Shikoku (especially Kochi and Ehime), feel free to ask as I have loads of information :D
Fun fact about me: I did calligraphy (shodo) when I was growing up and have the level 7 cert. I went to Ehime University and worked in Nagoya & Hiroshima.
I like watching figure skating games (I'm the same age as the retired very popular skater Mao Asada). I have studied/worked in many English speaking countries including Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and of course, Ireland.
I look forward to having lessons with you!

It's very hard to find authentic Japanese food in Dublin. But did you know it's easy to make it once you have the ingredients required? Teriyaki sauce is so easy to make, yet the packet premade ones you can find in supermarkets never tastes authentic! Karaage, the Japanese deep fried chicken is the dish that no Japanese restaurant in Dublin can make authentically. Lastly, if you are a matcha lover, you might want to know how to make Japanese desserts!
If you are interested in the Japanese Calligraphy "Shodo" in Dublin, look no further!
I had learnt Shodo for 5 years and have a "7 Dan level".
Shodo is very therapeutic like mindfulness and knowing the strokes of kanji will help you not only write them neatly and beautifully, but also be able to remember them well!
This "lesson" offers a place and opportunity where you can talk about anything that's related to Japan in English and you can also practice a bit of Japanese with me if you wish. I can also offer tips and recommendations if you are planning to visit Japan/sitting the Japanese leaving cert exam.
Do you want to learn how to make origami?
Origami is so fun not only for kids but adults.
You get to learn origami with a Japanese teacher (me!).
I make origami gifts and bags for my sons' crèche because they are relatively easy to make and also unique!
This class is for beginners, so you don't have to worry about anything complex.
Origami can be a great hobby.

Strategy Meeting - Check your "actual" Japanese levelWould you like to know what level your Japanese actually is? Would you like to know which part of your Japanese is in need of extra work? I will stay brutally honest to support you for upgrading Japanese efficiently. Like "no pain, no gain", weak points could be the sweet spot because it has the space to grow once you know what to do and how to work on.
My schedule could be flexible so please feel free to contact me!

Easy peasy Japanesey! Private lessons for the Japanese language!Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your language 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!
Mika

I also have extensive teaching experience in language schools, where I have participated in the creation of course curricula. Thanks to this experience, I can create a program tailored to your goals. My specialty is beginner level! I can teach with any textbook, but I love teaching with GENKI!
But... video lessons are a little stressful, aren't they!?
How does it work...?
Are the teachers strict?
Is it possible to learn Japanese without going to school...?
Don't worry!! Grab a drink, sit down, and let me do it ;)
I have taught many students and I am currently studying French because I live in France now, so I can understand your feeling.
★Important★
Remember these 3 things when you study:
1) a notebook and a pen
2) a drink
3) and your smile :)
And here I am! I'm waiting in front of the computer! Let's study together!

Private lessons to learn Japanese culture and languageKonnichiwa!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 ^)
