Our Tutors
Mai
Konnichiwa! My name is Mai. I’m an experienced and friendly Japanese tutor. Teaching the Japanese language is my passion, and I enjoy communicating with people from all over the world! What are your favorite Japanese dishes? Where in Japan do you want to go? Talk to me in the classroom. See you soon.
Yuki
Hi there! My name is Yuki. I was born and raised in a western Japanese prefecture of Nagasaki until I was eighteen, after which I lived in some cities. I now live in Tokyo. I met a lot of people who liked Japan and were studying Japanese while I was in Australia, which got me into teaching it! I’m a big fan of “Attack on Titan”! Please let me know if you’re an anime fan too :)
Hana
Hello, I grew up in both Los Angeles and Tokyo and now live in Boston. I’d love to spend my weekend gardening, cooking, and visiting museums. I love Japanese art crafts, particularly Arita ceramics and Ukiyoe, Japanese wooden prints. I am also a big fan of traditional and modern Japanese architecture. Nice to meet you!
