I have lived in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom since December 2009. I am originally from Kumamoto, where I completed a training course at the EII Japanese Language Centre. I have now been teaching Japanese to students of all levels for nearly ten years.

I teach both children and adults and from absolute beginners to advanced level students. I begin by introducing essential sentence patterns and teaching how to use them in practise conversations. I use role-play to make the conversations real and teach how to speak Japanese naturally.You will soon realise my lessons are completely different from normal language studies at school and find that my method is both practical and effective.

I look forward to meeting you and helping with your Japanese study.
