About Me

Learning a language is a great gateway to delve into the world's cultural richness, be it your own or a culture you encounter. Having spent my childhood moving from city to city and living in several countries, crossing oceans and borders for my study, this has become one of my fundamental questions: How can people from various backgrounds meet each other and live together harmoniously? As a language teacher, I encourage my students to open themselves up to embrace diverse cultural richness through active and student-led learning with the unique teaching methods I established.

Hi everyone! I lived in Japan for a year and a half, first as a Japanese studies student at Ochanomizu University and then as a trainee for Japanese language teachers at Japan Foundation Institute in Saitama. I've been around the Japanese language since 2008 and teaching it since 2012, individually and at private language schools. I also worked as a Japanese speaking tour-guide for around four years and occasionally worked as an interpreter.
My teaching approach is focused on communication and based on real-life situations as I feel students get more motivated if they feel they can use their knowledge outside of the classroom. However, as a grammar freak, I can add a bit of extra focus on it if needed.
I am very communicative, open and supportive since I had to go through the process of learning Japanese myself which I find a beneficial experience for beginners' level.

Japanese language, Japanese culture, anime etc has been increasingly popular in many countries worldwide lately. Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place! I give fun easy going lessons by mostly encouraging you to speak, because taking it into practice and talking is the quickest way to learn! It's a safe non judgemental space to make mistakes as much as you have to!

Lessons can be taken at your place in or around the Hague, or online via Skype, WhatsApp.
In my lessons students can make mistakes and move at their own speed so they can practice and speak more freely. I learned four languages, therefore I understand the difficulties and challenges involved.

Japanese is a fascinating and complex language that opens doors to a rich cultural heritage and exciting opportunities. Even as a native speaker, I find that the more I learn, the deeper my love for the language grows. Born and raised in Kyushu, the southern part of Japan, I've spent the last five years traveling around the world. This unique experience has given me invaluable insights into Japanese culture from both an insider's and an outsider's perspective. Whether you're planning a trip to Japan, aiming to enhance your career prospects, or simply exploring a new interest, this course is designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to communicate effectively in Japanese.

I’m from Hiroshima, Japan! I live in Den Haag. We can practice talking Japanese in person or online.

I am 30 years old and from Hiroshima Prefecture. I have been living in the Netherlands for two years. While living in the Netherlands, I think it can be difficult to find opportunities to practice Japanese, but I would love to create opportunities for you to practice and improve your Japanese skills.
