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! 🌸

I adapt my lessons to your level, your goals, and above all, your learning style. Whether you're a complete beginner, want to resume learning Japanese after a break, improve your speaking skills, strengthen your grammar, or progress in kanji, we'll define a learning path together that suits you.

Having learned Japanese myself before living in Japan for 12 years, I am very familiar with the difficulties this language can present for a French or English speaker. My goal is not only to give you the correct answer, but to help you understand how the language works so that you can gradually use it independently.

A lesson can combine conversation, grammar, comprehension, reading, writing, and vocabulary according to your needs. I pay particular attention to practical application: what we learn must be applicable to real-life situations. Materials and exercises are chosen or adapted based on your level and objectives.

Kanji hold a special place in my teaching. As a Kanken 2 (日本漢字能力検定2級) holder, I enjoy teaching methods that allow you to understand their structure, readings, and relationships rather than simply memorizing lists. If kanji intimidate you, my goal is precisely to help you become familiar with them and, perhaps, even appreciate them!

My courses are aimed at teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced levels. I can also assist people preparing for the JLPT or who wish to learn Japanese for travel, studies, a professional project, or simply out of passion for the Japanese language and culture.

The courses can be given in French or English, according to your preference.

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 memorizing 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.
