Learn to express yourself naturally in Japanese
— through feelings, thoughts, and real communication.
We start with real conversation — not by opening a textbook.
As you speak, I take notes on what you say. Then we review them together step by step, exploring grammar, vocabulary, nuance, and more natural ways to express your ideas in Japanese.
We build your Japanese from your real thoughts and experiences.
Lessons are personalized based on your level, goals, and communication style.

授業を受ける時、複雑な分からない内容か質問を聞くと、文恵先生はいつも勤勉に教えてくれて、調査が要るトピックも毎回授業終わって調べた後説明してくれました。文恵先生は教師経験が多いので、役に立て面白い参考資料(ビジネス日本語の教科書、発音、ビデオ等)が多いし、文法と単語の説明もすごく明確で、学生にとって分かりやすい。また、LINEなどで交流する時、もし生徒の言葉は間違ったら、文恵先生が毎回直してくれました。最後に、文恵先生の知識は広かったので、レッソンの内容も豊で面白かったでした。是非、文恵先生は学生を気にすることが見えました。
Fumie Sensei is very patient and detail oriented. For example, she would write hiragana/katagana next to the Kanji so that we can pronounce that kanji easily.
She has also prepared an extensive learning material for beginners.
We enjoyed the time of her lessons and we are looking forward to meeting her again.
1. We like the lesson notes written by Sensei, it helps us to quickly recall what we have learnt.
2. We also like the exercise. The grade 1 hiragana writing books or the te-form exercise actually gives us some time to reflect what we learned.
3. I guess we like the game most. My daughter is very attentive to those game (counting numbers or talking about times). It gives us opportunity to read and speak.
一日の総括ができて、面白いと思います!
Fumie is an excellent teacher and very good with children.
She is able to generate interest immediately with her students.
I am very appreciated that Fumie Sensei always has a good preparation for each single class.
And she also takes notes for me so that I can review after class.
Fumie Sensei is very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient.
I would highly recommend her to any person interested in learning the Japanese language or culture. Her lessons are very enjoyable.
Fumi Sensei is very kind and encouraging and very patient. I have learned quite a lot!
文恵先生はいろいろなことに詳しいし積極的だし、自然な日本語を教えてくれます。
現在の日本の日常会話で使われている日本語、複雑な文法の正しい使い方、新しい今まで知らなかった文化的なことを勉強したんです。
I'd love to hear your story with Japan.
