About Maki
★ I want to speak Japanese, but I don’t know where to start
★ I want to practice speaking, but I don’t have the right environment
★ Studying alone is tough—I wish I had support
If any of these sound like you, I’m here to support you wholeheartedly.
Self-study is important when learning a language, but staying motivated and knowing if you’re on the right path can be challenging alone.
That’s why I’m here—to walk beside you and help you keep moving forward.
Hi, I’m Maki, a Japanese teacher based in Tokyo.
I’ve taught learners of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced speakers—as well as travelers and business professionals.
Although I’ve been teaching for less than a year, I find great joy in supporting each student’s desire to speak Japanese and achieve their goals.
Feedback I often receive from students:
◎ I feel safe even when I make mistakes
◎She really listens
◎ The lessons are fun
◎ She guides me with care and empathy

My lessons focus on “enjoying the process × using what you learn.”
Rather than just teaching Japanese, I aim to walk alongside you as a supportive guide toward your goals.
Mistakes? No problem. Don’t understand something? That’s okay!
You can learn in a relaxed and safe environment.
If you have a clear goal (e.g. JLPT, business conversation), I may provide homework or assignments to help you stay on track.
Language learning requires self-study too—but I’ll support your motivation and pace.
