Hello!! I’m KAHO, a freelance Japanese language teacher now in my seventh year. I’m currently based in London, UK.
‘I’d like to learn Japanese, but I don’t know where to start…’ ‘I’m studying Japanese, but I don’t get many chances to speak it…’ Do any of these concerns sound familiar?
I’ve taught at vocational colleges, Japanese language schools and my own private school.
I’ve lost count of the exact number of lessons, but including those at schools, I’ve taught over 10,000 lessons.
Drawing on my seven years of teaching experience, I’ll do my utmost to support you in achieving your goals, whether that’s passing the JLPT or improving your conversational skills.
Why not study with a professional Japanese teacher?♡
<My Hobbies>
⭐️Anime
Fullmetal Alchemist
Naruto
Attack on Titan
I absolutely love these, amongst others.
I know loads more too!
I support learners of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
If necessary, I’ll create a special curriculum just for you.
In my classes, I use original teaching materials that I’ve created myself. Whilst I specialise in JLPT grammar, I’ve prepared plenty of original materials covering everything from survival Japanese for travelling to youth slang and onomatopoeia ✨
<Main Textbooks I Use>

TRY! Series
Of course, I have plenty of other textbooks too. Please feel free to ask me about them.

<My Dream>
‘To transform your “curiosity” into lifelong “happiness”.’
My dream is to help as many people as possible gain a deeper understanding of Japan through the Japanese language, thereby broadening your horizons. I want to convey the ‘Japanese spirit’ and the ‘beauty of Japanese culture’—which lie beyond the words themselves—to all of you who love Japan. By overcoming the language barrier, I believe your experiences and interactions in Japan will lead to your greatest happiness.
