• Practice useful Japanese phrases
• Enjoy role-playing activities
• Build confidence using Japanese in a friendly environment
My Teaching Style
My teaching style is patient, engaging, and encouraging.
I support each student while guiding them to discover answers themselves.
This helps learners develop problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of Japanese.
Class Flexibility and Support Options
Please note that classes may not always follow the exact order written in the description.
I adjust the pace and content based on the needs of the students in each class.
If you would like to:
• switch to a different class time
• join a class that is slightly ahead
please feel free to contact me. I am happy to help find the best option.
Since this is a group class, the pace is set for the whole group.
If you prefer lessons tailored to your child’s pace, private lessons are also available.
