Friendly native Japanese speaker helping you build a solid foundation and confidence in Japanese | 13+ years' professional teaching experience

I have had classes with Keiko sensei for around three years now, taking additional lessons to help progress my Japanese, especially as I wanted to sit the N2 exam and improve my everyday conversation skills for living in Japan. Keiko has always been incredibly supportive, adapting each class to suit my learning style and showing real patience when going over topics that I found challenging.

Throughout our lessons, I was able to complete mock tests, practise casual speaking, and work through grammar points with Keiko. I genuinely feel that this combination pushed my Japanese to an N2 level. Her encouragement and motivational conversations made a huge difference, helping me stay focused and confident while learning at a higher level.

I would recommend Keiko sensei to anyone wanting to learn Japanese, from complete beginners all the way to N1.

I had lessons with Keiko for a couple of years, and she helped me go from N5 all the way to N3. Learning with her was genuinely enjoyable. I always felt comfortable asking anything, and she would explain things in ways that made sense for my learning style. Keiko always showed a lot of interest and put a lot of effort into planning each lesson, which made everything flow very well and made me feel I was in good hands. I always looked forward to our lessons because they were fun, super helpful, and honestly, I achieved so much thanks to her teaching. I honestly would recommend Keiko to anyone who wants to learn Japanese, as my experience with her was excellent.

Keiko is an excellent tutor, she is kind, patient and a lovely person. I have been with Keiko for a year now and I have learned so much, from the Hiragana alphabet, how to order food, buy clothes, tell the time, ask about transport and much much more. If you want a good tutor whether you are new to the language or studying and need extra help, Keiko is my first recommendation every time.
