Certified Japanese teacher for all ages and levels
Konnichiwa!
I am a native Japanese born in Yokohama, a city neighboring Tokyo, and I currently live in Geneve, Switzerland. I am fluent in both English and Japanese, and I plan to use both languages in my Japanese lessons.
In my lessons, I focus on tailoring the content to each student’s goals and proficiency level. I use structured materials like “Minna no Nihongo” or "Genki" to build a solid foundation, while also including real-life conversation practice to help students learn Japanese they can actually use.
It is challenging to explain grammar to young learners (ages 5 or 6 and above), so I use pictures and realia to conduct lessons. I learned this method through Association of Japanese Language for Children (AJLC) and hold a qualification as a Japanese language instructor for children.
My goal is to create lessons that are fun and motivating, while also helping students see real progress in their Japanese skills! Learning a new language may be tough, but I also know it expands our world. I look forward to embarking on this adventure with everyone who wants to learn Japane.

About Me
I hold the master’s qualification in Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) from the Sogetsu School, and I enjoy arranging flowers. I still continue practicing Ikebana but I have started teaching it as an assistant teacher at UNWG (United Nations Womens Guild).I also enjoy planning table settings and cooking. I have a qualification as a Japanese Traditional Event Cuisine Meister, which means I can teach traditional Japanese cuisine and incorporate it into lessons for those interested in Japanese Ikebana or traditional cooking.
I graduated from a college in the U.S., where I studied Chinese because of my love for Chinese food. I am still studying Chinese and can speak basic Chinese. One of my dreams is to live in Taiwan someday and teach Japanese there.
I have two sons, aged 6 and 9. My children love swimming, basketball, soccer, and skiing, so we often go to the pool on weekends and attend matches of the Geneva Lions or Servette football team at the stadium. In winter, we frequently go skiing in the mountains or ice skating. I also love traveling with my family. Since Switzerland is in the heart of Europe, we have traveled to many countries in Europe.
Education
-Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Relations/East Asian Languages and Cultures (doble major), Beloit College, WI, USA in 2003.-During my time at AOTS, I had the opportunity to receive Japanese language teaching training from the teachers who wrote the textbook "Nihongo no Kiso" (The Basics of Japanese), which became the foundation for the worldwidely-used Japanese textbook "Minna no Nihongo."
Experience / Qualifications
-Completed a 420-hour Training Program for Japanese Language Instructors-Holder of the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test certification
-Certified as a Japanese Language Teacher for Children through AJLC (Association for Japanese Language Classes for Children).This organization provides various resources and certifications related to teaching Japanese to children, including specialized programs and materials tailored for different age groups and proficiency levels.
I have 7 years of experience working as a program coordinator for trainees from East Asia in an organization called AOTS. In that role, I have taught Japanese corporate culture, Japanese social culture, and the Japanese language.
After resigning from the position, I volunteered for six months teaching Japanese to children of ethnic minority migrants from Myanmar in a village on the Myanmar-Thailand border.
Upon returning to Japan, I taught Japanese language for one year to international students at a Japanese language school in Tokyo, who were aiming to enter Japanese universities.
Later, I took a break from teaching due to the birth of my child and our relocation to Switzerland, focusing entirely on parenting. Now that my younger child is six years old, I have more free time and have decided to resume my career as a Japanese language teacher.

Easy peasy Japanesey! Private lessons for the Japanese language!Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your language journey with my hardest!! My lessons will be provided in English and Japanese!
First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master.
Currently, I am also learning Arabic and French myself, so I completely understand how tough it is to learn new languages from the start, and there's no easy way to acquire a new language. That's why I'd love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!

Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :)

For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests!
🍡 JLPT exam preparation
Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level.
In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use.
Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly.
Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours!
I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸
