A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels.

🍡 Build your grammar foundations
My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way.
Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :)

🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening
For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests!

🍡 JLPT exam preparation
Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level.

In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use.

Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly.
Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours!

I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

J’adapte mes cours à votre niveau, à vos objectifs et surtout à votre manière d’apprendre. Que vous débutiez complètement, souhaitiez reprendre le japonais après une pause, améliorer votre expression orale, consolider votre grammaire ou progresser en kanji, nous définissons ensemble un parcours qui vous correspond.

Ayant moi-même appris le japonais avant de vivre 12 ans au Japon, je connais très bien les difficultés que cette langue peut présenter pour un apprenant francophone ou anglophone. Mon objectif n’est pas seulement de vous donner la bonne réponse, mais de vous aider à comprendre le fonctionnement de la langue afin que vous puissiez progressivement l’utiliser de manière autonome.

Un cours peut combiner conversation, grammaire, compréhension, lecture, écriture et vocabulaire selon vos besoins. J’accorde une attention particulière à la mise en pratique : ce que nous apprenons doit pouvoir être utilisé dans des situations réelles. Les supports et exercices sont choisis ou adaptés en fonction de votre niveau et de vos objectifs.

Les kanji occupent une place particulière dans mon enseignement. Titulaire du Kanken 2 (日本漢字能力検定2級), j’aime transmettre des méthodes permettant de comprendre leur construction, leurs lectures et leurs liens plutôt que de simplement mémoriser des listes. Si les kanji vous intimident, mon but est justement de vous aider à les apprivoiser et, pourquoi pas, à les apprécier !

Mes cours s’adressent aux adolescents et aux adultes, du niveau débutant au niveau avancé. Je peux également accompagner les personnes qui préparent le JLPT ou qui souhaitent apprendre le japonais en vue d’un voyage, d’études, d’un projet professionnel ou simplement par passion pour la langue et la culture japonaises.

Les cours peuvent être donnés en français ou en anglais, selon votre préférence.

ENGLISH

I adapt my lessons to your level, your goals and, above all, the way you learn. Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to Japanese after a break, looking to improve your speaking skills, strengthen your grammar or make progress with kanji, we will work together to create a learning path that suits you.

Having learned Japanese myself before living in Japan for 12 years, I have first-hand experience of the difficulties the language can present to French- and English-speaking learners. My aim is not simply to give you the right answer, but to help you understand how the language works so that you can gradually use it with greater confidence and independence.

Depending on your needs, lessons can combine conversation, grammar, listening comprehension, reading, writing and vocabulary. I place particular emphasis on practical use: what we learn should be applicable to real-life situations. Materials and exercises are selected or adapted according to your level and objectives.
Kanji have a special place in my teaching. As a holder of Kanken Level 2 (日本漢字能力検定2級), I enjoy teaching methods that help students understand how kanji are constructed, how their readings work and how characters relate to one another, rather than simply memorising lists. If kanji seem intimidating, my goal is to help you make sense of them — and perhaps even learn to enjoy them!

My lessons are suitable for teenagers and adults, from complete beginners to advanced learners. I can also help students preparing for the JLPT or those learning Japanese for travel, study, professional purposes, or simply out of a passion for the Japanese language and culture.

Lessons can be taught in English or French, according to your preference.
