I am a native Japanese speaker with over 30 years of experience teaching Japanese in Japan and the UK. I hold a B.A. in Japanese Literature and a professional Japanese language teaching qualification from JAL Academy. I have taught in a wide range of educational settings, including Japanese schools, British secondary schools, Sushi & Washoku College London and international language schools such as International House.

I specialise in online Japanese instruction for adult learners, with a particular focus on accurate pronunciation and pitch accent (ピッチアクセント). My teaching supports learners in developing clear, natural, and intelligible spoken Japanese, an area often insufficiently addressed in standard language courses.

In addition to pronunciation training, I teach examination preparation and Business Japanese, including 敬語 and culturally appropriate language use. Lessons are structured, goal-oriented, and tailored to individual learning objectives, supporting both academic achievement and effective real-world communication.
