🇬🇧Hello! I'm Erika from Tokyo.
I previously worked in a trading company and in a music agency in Japan.
I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B2 level), so I truly understand how challenging it is to start a new language and continue until you reach an intermediate or even advanced level.

I enjoy playing musical instruments, dancing, and doing crafts.
As a naturally curious person, I don't want you to give up learning something new just because you feel you may not have enough time for self-study.

With me, you can simply keep going at a steady pace —
I will remind you of essential points, help you build habits, and guide you in every lesson, so you can make progress without stress or worrying about time management.

I can work remotely and can offer lessons early in the morning Japan time, so I am available for students in Europe or America as well.

Please feel free to contact me with your preferred schedule.

I look forward to supporting your Japanese learning journey!

🇫🇷Hello! My name is Erika and I'm from Tokyo.
I worked in a trading company as well as in a music agency in Japan.
I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B1 level).
So I know how difficult it can be to start a new language and progress to an intermediate or advanced level.

I enjoy playing instruments, dancing, and creating handcrafted items.
Being naturally curious, I would like to accompany you so that you too can start something new without fear or hesitation.

With me, you won't need to worry about self-learning time:
I will guide you regularly, I will repeat the important points, and you will be able to progress simply by attending the classes — without stress.

I can work remotely and teach early in the morning, Japan time.
Therefore, I can easily adapt to students living in Europe or America.
Feel free to contact me to let me know your preferred times.

I would be delighted to help you discover Japanese and progress at your own pace!

Russian is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is an official language of Russian, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is spoken in all other post-soviet countries, and also in Israel, the Balkans and the U.S.
As Russia has been in the process of positioning itself as a major economic force, including the Russian language in CV would definitely give a good impression to employers. Many companies today are looking for qualified international workers who master Russian.
Apart from that, being able to speak the Russian language will allow you to understand Russians and their culture, something which could never happen through cultural exchanges. You would develop a new view of Russian literature, music, and art.

Why choose me as a tutor?
- I am a native Russian speaker with experience in teaching the Russian language to non-Russians.
- I have been teaching Russian for years to beginners and advanced learners. My English and Japanese are fluent, so in our lessons, I will explain everything to you in a very understandable and easy way.
- I have been giving private lessons and teaching in classrooms. I have worked with children and adults.
- I ensure that you would enjoy my classes because I always try to make the learning process fun and relaxed. Our lessons will always be well organized and well structured.
-All the lessons are tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you succeed.
- I will help you to achieve the necessary level of communication in the shortest possible time since I also have been learning foreign languages and know the secret for learning them quickly. You will finally begin to speak fluently in Russian.

Even if you have not learned the language before, by the end of the course you will be able to speak Russian, learn all the grammar basics, understand native Russian speakers, read and write in Russian.

I look forward to meeting you!
