👋 About Me
Hi! I’m Jennifer, a Japanese teacher with over 5 years of experience teaching private students, company clients, and small groups (up to 9 people). I’ve helped many learners successfully pass JLPT N5, N4, and N3.

🌍 Multilingual Support
As someone who is half Japanese and half Swiss, I teach with a deep understanding of both language and culture. I can explain Japanese using English, German, French, Portuguese, and a bit of Italian—making learning more comfortable and flexible for you.

🎌 Culture & Values
In my lessons, you won’t just learn the language—you’ll also discover the culture, traditions, and values behind it. From daily etiquette to deeper ways of thinking, I love helping students connect with the real spirit of Japan.

🌱 Your Progress Matters
I customize each lesson to fit your goals and learning style. The best part of teaching for me is seeing your confidence grow as you improve.

よろしくお願いいたします。🌸

About Me

I’m a curious, open-minded, and passionate teacher who truly enjoys helping people grow through language. With a multicultural background and a love for communication, I bring patience, structure, and positivity into every lesson. I enjoy creating a supportive space where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and discovering not just the language—but also the deeper cultural layers that come with it. Outside of teaching, I’m always learning something new myself—whether it’s a language, a recipe, or a perspective. I believe that learning should feel meaningful, personal, and even a little fun!

Education

Through my MSc in Business Administration at ZHAW, I developed a strong foundation in management and leadership, with a research focus on startups. During my bachelor’s in Media and Communication, I also studied Psychology and Pedagogy to better understand learning processes and human behavior. These interdisciplinary insights help me design engaging lessons that support motivation, memory, and confidence.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over 5 years of experience teaching Japanese and German to both private students and groups, including at institutions such as Academia Languages, D-Schule, and the International Language School.

In addition, I bring more than 4 years of consulting experience with international clients in the language education and airline industries, which allows me to adapt my teaching to diverse goals and cultural backgrounds.

I also have a background in journalism and media production, creating content for international audiences – an experience that enriches my teaching with strong storytelling, communication, and intercultural skills.

I offer Japanese lessons that focus on grammar and vocabulary—both common difficulties—as well as spoken language. The goal of the course is to cover the technical aspects of the language without being overly theoretical or academic.

In my lessons, I combine the theoretical aspect of the language, which is essential for speaking correctly, with the practical aspect, which enables one to express oneself clearly and interact effectively with native speakers – while maintaining a certain distance from both sides.

Through my experience in interpreting from Japanese and my stays in Japan, I can convey a natural and spontaneous approach to the language.

The course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and writing (kanji). From the perspective of an Indo-European language speaker, the course aims to help learners acquire the structure of the Japanese language naturally, freeing themselves from any possible unconscious biases inherent in their own language.

I also place particular emphasis on the connection between written and spoken language—an aspect that often seems surprising in Japanese—so as not to separate the two elements.
