About

Japan and the Japanese language have played a huge role in my life from childhood. I started learning Japanese when I was 9. Several years later, at age 14, I went to Japan for the first time and fell in love with the country. When I was 16, I ventured abroad once more for a year-and-a-half stint in Kagoshima, the second-most southern prefecture of Japan. Then, when I returned to college in 2015 to complete my degree, I knew I wanted to study abroad again. So, I moved to Tokyo for a year. I have been to Japan several other times, usually for at least a month. I have been to 22 of 47 prefectures thus far.

I love teaching/tutoring Japanese! It is a great joy in my life. If you are looking for a tutor, I promise I will try to make it as fun and effective for you as possible! I am always researching new teaching techniques, foreign language learning methods, and fun Japanese language activities. If you’re interested in learning more about my teaching experiences, please click here.

I’ve traveled all around Japan and spent a few of my formative years there, thus the culture and language have been so ingrained in me. As a tutor, I can bring you a rich cultural knowledge filled with my own personal experiences.

I look forward to meeting with you and getting to know you through our Japanese lessons!
