About the lesson

Konnichiwa (Hello)! I have taught Japanese for over 15 years in Japan and Australia, from children to adults. I am highly qualified and have 7 years + of teaching experience at two universities as a part-time teacher. I am happy to teach any learners of any level, gender, and nationality. 【The reasons why you should choose my lessons】 1. I have a special knowledge to improve your pronunciation and fluency immediately Do you have confidence to speak immediately in the required situation? Does anyone check your pronunciation? I made video lessons to provide some tips to improve your pronunciation and fluency dramatically and immediately. Please contact me to get FREE video lessons for improving pronunciation! 2. Focus on speaking and communication skills I normally choose a textbook which focuses on communication rather than grammar unless you would like to aim for the JLPT exam. It is important to learn grammar but if you learn it first, it would be difficult to speak later. Language acquisition will occur smoothly if you follow this order; listening-> speaking -> reading -> writing Yes, it is the same order as you learned your mother tongue! In this order, you will be able to communicate faster! 3. Coaching skills I have also learned "coaching skills" that are important skills to support a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal. At the first free session, I will ask you some questions to find out the following so that we can discuss the best study plan for you. - your purpose to learn Japanese - your short-term and long-term goals - your learning style - your interest and personality - your lifestyle I am very good at finding your good points and giving you positive feedback rather than just pointing out your bad points! So, if you would like to achieve the following skills within a short time -Basic expressions for traveling in Japan -Daily conversation with your friends -Business communication -Speech contest -Presentation for school/university assignments I will do my best to help you achieve your goal! Please message me to discuss more details!

Perfect! Maiko puts a lot of effort into planning lessons tailored to your wants. She follows up on anything you are unsure of, and her feedback is detailed and clear! She clearly puts a lot of work into the lessons and ensures you can refer back to them whenever.

Perfect! Maiko is a great teacher!! She is very patient and attentive, and understands my strengths and weaknesses as a student. It is very fun to learn with her, and she is very knowledgeable about the cultural contexts involved with the language, which means I learn a lot more than just words and grammar!

Perfect! I'm so glad I came across Maiko's profile!
She is a very knowledgable and structured teacher. Every lesson is planned ahead of time so we can jump right into it and progress exactly like what was outlined in our goals. She is also very friendly and supportive.
Since she is teaching me Japanese we usually get sidetracked with discussions of Japan & Japanese customs (which is great!) but she always makes sure to redirect us back to the lesson yet makes sure it is fun and interesting.
I am currently very busy with work yet she has been extremely flexible and keeping me accountable regardless, which I am so grateful for!
Couldn't ask for a better teacher.

Maiko has proven to be a very committed teacher with a great understanding of my individual learning style. She is a delight to meet with each week and goes over and above the allotted time by providing me with homework during the week.

I've been learning Japanese from her for a while now. Her lessons are great as she'll help you with whatever you want to focus on and adjust the lessons accordingly. She's helped me study for the JLPT and also gave me advice when I went to Japan for a month. She's now assisting me in trying to work and live in Japan. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese and about Japan.

Maiko sensei has been my Japanese tutor for the past couple weeks and I would highly recommend her for anyone trying to learn Japanese seriously either for JLPT preparation or day to day conversational Japanese . Lessons are highly curated and personalized for your skill level even if you are a complete beginner. The homework she sets is fun and reinforces the concepts learnt each lesson. I also like how I'm able to ask her questions outside lesson time and receive fast replies.
