Whether you're starting from zero, learning on your own, or starting again, we'll tailor the session to where you are now.
30-Minute FREE
Japanese Trial Lesson.
Wherever you are in your Japanese journey,
we'll start from there.
Starting from zero?
I'll introduce you to Japanese step by step and get you using your first words and phrases at your own pace!
Learning on your own?
Bring what you've learned and start using it in a real conversation.
Coming back after a break?
We'll see what you remember and help you find the best way to move forward.
What happens in your 30-minute trial?
A relaxed, personalised session to help you experience learning with me — and see where your Japanese can go from here.
① Get to know each other — about 5 minutes
We'll chat about you, why you want to learn Japanese, your experiences with Japan, and anything else that helps me get to know you.
② Learn & practise — about 20 minutes
Starting from zero?
We'll practise introducing yourself and try some simple role-plays, with guidance in English when you need it. No need to be afraid of making mistakes — I'll guide you step by step.
Learning on your own?
Maybe what you've learned feels a little random, or you're not quite confident speaking yet. That's completely fine! This is a great chance to start putting what you already know into practice.
Starting again after a break?
Through a relaxed conversation, I'll naturally check your Japanese and help you see what you already know, what you've forgotten, and what you could work on next.
③ Your questions & next steps — about 5 minutes
Ask me anything! We'll talk about your goals and learning preferences, and I'll share what I see as your strengths and where I think we could focus.
By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of where you are now — and where you could go next.
No preparation needed.
Just come as you are.

Why learn with me?
Learning Japanese isn't just about knowing the right answer. It's about knowing how to actually use it.
With 10+ years of experience teaching Japanese, I'll help you:
🗣️ Build real speaking confidence
Practise speaking with a native Japanese teacher who can respond naturally, correct you when needed, and help you express what you really want to say.
🎯 Learn what YOU need
No two students are the same. I'll notice what you're already good at, where you're getting stuck, and what will help you progress.
🧩 Connect the pieces
Grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening and speaking all work together. We'll build your Japanese as a whole — not just memorise isolated words and phrases.
💬 Ask questions and get real answers
Wondering why Japanese people say something a certain way? Ask! You can get explanations and context from someone who actually uses Japanese every day. You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
