I’m Kaori from Japan. I have a master's degree in linguistics and I'm interested in languages in general. I was taking Spanish at school so I understand the learners' point of view.

I’m a creative, passionate, and friendly person. I love making classes fun! Past classes were so much fun, and I am open to the new members to join my class :)

If you have other inquiries, feel free to email me. I'm very flexible. I promise I will prepare everything beforehand and do my best in class to make your time worth and effective!

I completed my Japanese teaching practice in the U.S. and English teaching practice in Japan. So I have teaching certificates in both languages.

I used to teach Japanese at a university (U.S). I’ve been teaching online since 2019 as well although I was focused on the university work for a while. I am now more available here :)

Other than teaching, I was working at a Japanese company as a translator before coming to the states. I'm interested in language transfer. So, I can do Japanese proofreading as well. I also love traveling so I can give you a travel tip here in Japan or/and give you a tour. In fact, I am a certified tour conductor and I am traveling all around Japan for work now.

I want to make sure you reach your goal. I think teaching approaches should be changed from student to student, and being able to meet students' needs is also the beauty of online one-to-one teaching.

I have textbooks called Genki I & II, Tobira, and Intermediate Japanese, so I will probably refer to these materials and add some vocabulary/phrases too.

So what’s your objective? To order something delicious Japanese food? For traveling? (If so, where are you going?) For business? (If so, what kind of business?) Translation? Or just need a conversation partner to actually correct your Japanese? Ooh maybe you’re trying to watch anime without subtitles?!

I’d be happy to help you so let’s have fun!
