I have an undergraduate degree in Japanese and linguistics, a masters in professional voice and have lived in tokyo for a year. I currently teach private 121 Japanese lessons via zoom and have done so for the past year.

My speciality is pronunciation since I have in depth knowledge of phonetics, VPM (voice, place, manner) and of the evolution and etymology of the Japanese language. I teach with these factors in mind and often with cultural tidbits to explain certain linguistic aspects. Since I have gone through a degree in Japanese language I have learned the harder way and thus simplified grammar structures to be digestible and understandable to anyone wishing to learn
