Learn Japanese Through Culture and Expression.
Private online sessions for serious learners who want more than grammar.
About Me
I am a Japanese actor trained in Tokyo and New York.
For over 12 years, I have taught expression and communication to high school students in Japan.
Having experienced language barriers myself while studying abroad, I understand the emotional challenges of learning a new language.
I offer private Japanese sessions for serious learners who want to explore not only grammar, but also cultural nuance and expressive depth.
Why My Lessons Are Different
Language is not only grammar — it is expression.
In my sessions, we explore how Japanese reflects culture, emotional distance, and subtle nuance.
You will learn not just how to say something correctly, but how to say it naturally.
English support is available when necessary, especially for understanding complex grammar or cultural context.
Who This Is For
These sessions are designed for serious learners who:
– Love Japanese culture and want deeper understanding
– Want to speak more naturally, not just correctly
– Are willing to think beyond textbooks
– Prefer private, focused learning environments
If you are simply looking for quick conversation practice, this may not be the right place.
