Japanese has played a very important role in my life so far. Starting with university courses, I began studying the language five years ago. Since then, I have lived in Japan three times. Japan's gorgeous landscapes, distinct cuisine, and long, proud history have left a lasting impression on me. Eventually, my love of Japanese language and culture led me to teach Japanese language courses. My courses follow a simple method for attaining success. Through an introductory meeting session and an assessment test, we pinpoint your learning style and verify what Japanese you may have learned thus far. With that information and your input, I create a detailed plan that will refine your knowledge and strengths while building a solid foundation upon which we can cultivate your Japanese skills. You will find that my personalized lessons will challenge you every time while still providing enjoyable, straightforward demonstrations and explanations of Japanese grammar and vocabulary. I look forward to helping guide you along the path to utilizing Japanese with fluency and confidence.
