Class Structure
I do online lessons via your preferred video chat interface; however, the interface I have found over the years is the best and the one I use most is Microsoft Teams.
The textbooks I use are mostly the Genki series, Japanese for Busy People, and Nihongo Fun & Easy, depending on each student's preferences and needs. However, if you prefer to use a specific textbook, that's totally fine! I also use additional materials to help you learn new words and vocabulary in context. During class, we have free conversation time, so you can improve your listening, speaking, and reading skills. Those preparing for the JLPT are also welcome! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I offer a free 30-45 minute lesson so you can decide if my teaching style meets your needs.
When you take my lessons, support is not limited to class time. If you have quick questions while studying on your own, you can reach me via chat or email, and I’ll be happy to help. All of this is included in the lesson fee—so make the most of it!
You are also welcome to ask for travel tips for Japan, reschedule lessons, or discuss other needs freely. Unlike traditional schools with strict rules, my lessons are designed to be flexible and relaxed, so you can learn with peace of mind!

I usually use Venmo for US residents, and Paypal for international residents. Please make your payment prior to the first day of each lesson month. During the last week of every month, we can discuss how many hours you wish to take for the upcoming month, then I will send you and invoice or request.

Lessons canceled at least 24 hours in advance will not be charged. Exceptions are made for emergencies or illness. Canceled lessons may only be rescheduled within the same month.
