Real Japanese at Your Pace | Unique Activities to Expand Your Expression | All Five-star reviews⭐ Hi, I'm Maki — a native Japanese tutor from Sapporo, Hokkaido 🇯🇵 250+ lessons · 26 five-star reviews · Students who stay for 1+ year ⭐ I teach the Japanese people actually use — not just textbook phrases. My lessons feel less like studying and more like chatting with a Japanese friend. 🎨 What makes me different: I use original illustrations & spot-the-difference exercises to teach nuanced expressions you won't find in any textbook. 📚 What we work on: Beginners ✈️ Travel phrases & self-introduction Simple daily conversation with easy-to-follow slides Intermediate & Advanced✏️ Natural expressions & subtle nuance Real topics: food, fashion, health, directions & more Spot-the-difference exercises — you don't just find the mistake. You explain exactly what's wrong and why — and in doing so, you often discover vocabulary and expressions you never knew you needed. It's one of the most natural ways to expand your Japanese without even trying. 😊 My style: Your pace. No rush. No pressure. I'm patient, friendly, and can support you in English (C1 level) when needed. 📌 I take breaks during Japanese school holidays. No exam prep — just enjoyable, long-term learning. Sound like a good fit? I'd love to see you in a trial lesson! 😊

Makiさん is a great teacher. I can tell that she spends a lot of time tailoring her lessons to her students. She prepares quite a bit prior to each lesson so there's an endless amount of things to talk about. As an added bonus, her English is surprisingly good. I also appreciate that she matches her speaking to my level while also sprinkling in new words to expand my vocabulary. She does all of this while also taking notes so that she can continue to tailor her lessons. Most importantly however, she's got a great personality and as a result, I really enjoy my conversations with her.
