What makes this online course different
from others

feature01

Focus on communication

We prioritize smooth communication over being able to write correct grammar and kanji. We use textbooks that introduce natural expressions actually used in Japan, so you will be able to speak with confidence in real-life situations.
feature02

Small group

The maximum class size is six students. I will provide an environment that is as interactive as possible. You are welcome to ask questions anytime, and I will answer them as soon as possible during office hours.
feature03

Pronunciation instruction

Most textbooks do not give detailed instructions for pronunciation. I will provide materials with pitch accents and give instructions to improve your pronunciation and fluency during the classes.

What Students Say

Mask group-1
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.

Maiko Sensei is probably the best Japanese teacher you can come across. She’s so experienced - she is currently teaching in university and knows how to help you improve, regardless of your current level! Do yourself a favour and start this breakthrough in learning with her.

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!

Maiko Sensei is punctual, very patient and educated in her field. She teaches according to my ability to learn, always explaining the concepts thoroughly before moving on, never rushing ahead of me. Every lesson is well prepared, organised, and of course, engaging and fun. I not only learn Japanese language but Japanese culture and history as well. Her tuition fee is great value for the amount of effort and care she provides.
