I am a native Japanese speaker with over 10 years of teaching experience, offering online one-to-one and group lessons. For one-to-one lessons, I create a personalised plan to match each student’s needs and goals, and materials are either provided by me or purchased as a book. Many of my students study with me long term, taking regular lessons and achieving their goals. I have taught at Florida State University in the US and in the UK, working with learners from home-educated children to adults. As a mother of two bilingual children, I also bring personal experience of teaching Japanese at home. Feel free to book a 15-minute taster lesson or visit my website: mochi-mind.com

I am a qualified (accredited by UCLES) Japanese language teacher with business background. My lessons can be tailored to fit your level, interests, goals etc. I am based in Glasgow but happy to teach online anyone in UK. Learning Japanese is fun. Look forward to hearing from you!
