Hi, I’m Harumi 😊
I was born and raised in Tokyo, one of my favorite places in the world.
I’m a Certified Japanese Tutor, dedicated to helping learners enjoy speaking and expressing themselves in Japanese.
I also spent time living in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I developed a deep appreciation for cultural exchange and communication 😌
One of my specialties is "teaching onomatopoeia (sound words)" — expressions like wakuwaku (excited), dokidoki (nervous), or shittori (soft and calm)🎵
We’ll explore how to use them naturally in conversation through "fun visuals, videos, and real-life examples in English".
I’ve taught "Japanese to over 100 students from all around the world" — from complete beginners to professionals working in Japan.
In my lessons, we don’t just memorize grammar — we focus on "learning Japanese you can actually use and enjoy" 🌷
My classes are "friendly, relaxed, and designed to help you speak with confidence".
You’ll have plenty of speaking time, and I’ll gently correct your mistakes so you can learn naturally and positively.
