Every lesson starts with you—not a fixed 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.
Together, we build your Japanese from your own thoughts, questions, and experiences.
