Hi,

My name is Haru and I have been teaching Japanese for 15 years now.
I am currently teaching 7 students, all foreign nationals living here in Japan.
Their Japanese language ability levels range from basic conversational ability all the way up to JLPT level 1.

My lesson style is ‘fun but strict’!
If you really want to improve your level of Japanese, please try my class!

<Daily Conversation・Business Talk >
Some people can read and understand Japanese, even very well, but their speaking ability is relatively low. This is often due to a lack of regular speaking opportunities!

​During a 1 on 1 lesson, you can be in a distraction-free environment and do not have to be nervous about making mistakes - I can give you immediate feedback and corrections!

<Basic Program>
From beginner up to JLPT N1 level, class activities are based on your specific needs.
For beginners, we will usually begin by building the foundation of basic grammar.
For upper-level students, we will begin by practicing ‘skills for description’ and ‘skills for the expression’.

<JLPT>
Every Japanese student has heard of ‘JLPT’ (Japanese Language Proficiency Tests) which are held in July and December from levels 5 up to 1. Some companies have specific requirements for these qualifications.

I can teach you according to your desired level.

Hello, my name is Emi. I live in Tokyo and work in an office while also teaching Japanese. I majored in Economics at university and have over 20 years of experience working in back-office roles. Along the way, I enrolled in an art university and completed a master’s program in art studies while working. After working as a part-time university lecturer, I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation.

About My Lessons
Drawing on what I’ve learned through my professional experience and academic background, I offer practical and personalized lessons tailored to each learner’s needs.
I provide lessons mainly in Japanese, but I can also support learners in English when necessary. You can feel relaxed and enjoy the learning process at your own pace.

◆Conversation Lessons: From Small Talk to Office Communication
Target: Learners who want to improve their conversational skills in natural Japanese
Content: Small talk, workplace interactions, phone and email communication, polite expressions, and selecting appropriate language depending on the situation, etc.

In Japanese, honorifics and expressions vary subtly based on context and the relationship(level of familiarity or social distance) with the listener. My lessons help you naturally master these nuances by exploring the cultural values and thought patterns behind the language, while practicing realistic conversations.

◆Lessons Using the ‘GENKI’ Textbook Practice Sections
Target: learners who being studing with GENKI or who want to review.
Content: Adapted practice sections that are often difficult to tackle alone, focusing on sentence patterns and other grammar points.

The goal is to reinforce what you have learned and help you use it confidently in conversation.

◆Reading Comprehension Lessons (News Articles / Novels / Essays, etc.)
Target: Learners who want to deepen their understanding of written Japanese and enhance vocabulary and expression
Content: Using authentic Japanese texts such as news articles, novels, and essays, we work on vocabulary, grammar, and contextual understanding to improve reading comprehension.

You will also develop the ability to interpret cultural nuances and implied meanings, and engage in discussions to enhance your critical thinking and expressive skills.

◆Academic Japanese
Target: University or graduate students, or those who need to prepare presentations or read and write papers
※For more details, please feel free to contact me.

Lastly, a Few Words About My Approach to Teaching Japanese
Having studied English and Spanish myself, I deeply appreciate the complexity and subtlety of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, and direct translations are often insufficient.
By learning the cultural and contextual background behind expressions, you can achieve more natural and precise communication beyond just knowing vocabulary and grammar.
Therefore, my lessons emphasize sharing the cultural nuances behind the language. This approach makes communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to contact me.!!
