Hi there! I’m Shizue.As a professional Japanese tutor with 3 years of experience and over 2,000 successful lessons, I have maintained a high repeat rate by helping many beginners reach upper-intermediate levels.My mission is to help you express yourself confidently in Japanese, using only Japanese!

 

My goal for every lesson is 
「To get you to a place where you can say what you want to say — in Japanese, on your own.」


[For beginners ]

Don’t worry if you only know Hiragana or Katakana! I provide English support to help you start "speaking" from day one,. Let’s aim for comfortable daily conversation in just 3 months!

[For intermediate learners ]

  • Feeling stuck? I’ll identify your unique speech patterns andI’ll help you refine your natural speech patterns on the spot .Through impromptu role-play, you'll learn to speak intuitively rather than overthinking complex grammar rules.
English support is available and adjusted flexibly based on what you need, so even if an all-Japanese lesson feels daunting, you're in safe hands 

 Camera Policy (Flexible for your comfort!)

 
  • Camera OFF is Welcome! (Anime/Voice Acting, Osaka Dialect, or Consultation): Perfect for when you want to focus entirely on your voice or just stay in your pajamas!
  • Camera ON Recommended: For intensive conversation practice, seeing facial expressions and mouth movements helps you improve much faster.

 

Background & Experience

  • The "Easy Japanese" Specialist: As a Licensed Nursery Teacher, I excel at simplifying complex grammar into "Easy Japanese" (Yasashii Nihongo),. If you're stuck, I’ll find the perfect, simple words for you!
  • Communication Pro: With years of experience as a Retail Manager, I provide polite yet friendly conversational practice tailored to real-life business and social situations,.
  • Interactive Growth Notebook: We create a customized Google Document together in real-time,. After every lesson, you’ll receive this personalized "Growth Notebook" for your review—complete with exclusive study slides for anime and dialect lessons!

 

A little about me

  • Osaka Native: Experience the warm, friendly, and authentic world of the Osaka dialect!,
  • Anime Fanatic: I have full collections of Demon Slayer, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, and Attack on Titan. Let’s use your favorite scenes as our textbook!,
  • Friendly & Curious: I love traveling and learning languages (currently studying Chinese!). I truly understand the challenges of learning a new language

 

I love Disneyland (especially DisneySea) and USJ! ↓ This is the view of Osaka from Abeno Harukas — the tallest building in western Japan.

 

I collect super detailed miniature food figures

 Do you have a favorite anime? I'd love to know!

 

 Let's prioritize "expressing your feelings" over being 100% perfect. I’m here to support you until you feel confident and truly enjoy speaking Japanese!

 I truly can't wait to meet you!
