I started learning Japanese as my second language from age 11 and passed JLPT exam at full score (180/180) at age 16. I majored in East Asia Studies with a focus on Japan in undergrad and grad school and I studied in Japan. I taught beginner level Japanese at University of Michigan- Ann Arbor during my Masters program. Since graduation, I have been working in the finance industry in a Japanese client-facing role and used business Japan (Keigo) daily. My accent is standard Tokyo accent (hyojyungo) and most clients assume I am a native speaker. I believe my experience of acquiring Japanese as a second language will benefit you as a learner. I can customize the tutoring session based on your needs, be it casual conversation, JLPT prep, or Japanese business email writing. Please feel free to email me for further discussion. Thank you
