Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

⭐ Sanskrit is the oldest, purest and most systematic language in the world.

⭐NASA has described Sanskrit as the best language for computers. NASA has been researching on 60,000 Sanskrit manuscripts written on palm leaves, to decipher the ancient technologies from the manuscripts.

⭐A mantra is a word, or a phrase chanted repeatedly to invoke spiritual qualities. The Sanskrit root word ‘manas’ translates as mind, and ‘tra’ means instrument or tool.

Moving to Japan? Dating a Japanese Partner? Let’s Make You Fluent Naturally🇯🇵

Ex-Editor from Tokyo, Now Teaching in London

Hello, I’m Minami.

If you want to speak natural Japanese, not textbook Japanese, I’m here to help you.

I’m originally from Tokyo and currently living in London.
I worked as an editor at a major publishing company in Japan before moving to the UK for graduate study.

Because I’ve studied English and French for many years (and lived abroad), I truly understand the joy, frustration, and breakthrough moments of learning a new language.

🌿 Who I work best with:
• People planning to move to Japan
• Those with a Japanese partner
• Professionals who need business Japanese
• Learners who want to understand Japanese culture deeply

In our lessons, you will:

✓ Speak more confidently from Day 1
✓ Learn expressions real Japanese people actually use
✓ Understand cultural nuance (not just grammar)
✓ Build a personalised study system that fits your life

I have taught Japanese to over 20 learners through language exchange programs and now teach online students worldwide.

In our first lesson, we will clarify your goals and create a clear action plan. You’ll leave with practical phrases you can use immediately.

Learning Japanese should feel motivating, not overwhelming.
Let’s build your confidence step by step.

I look forward to meeting you.

Discover the joy of hands-on cooking! In this workshop, you'll learn the techniques behind truly artisanal dough products: from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling it out, shaping, and baking fresh pizza.

We use simple, high-quality ingredients, and I'll explain how small variations in flour, moisture, or resting time affect the final result.

The lesson is designed for anyone who loves cooking and wants to learn something new—whether you're a complete beginner or already have kitchen experience. At the end, you'll take home not only delicious pizza, but also the knowledge to recreate it entirely on your own.
