Let your passion for Japanese become real with me, your passionate Japanese teacher and tutor in Bangkok.
Learning languages is always a good challenge for your life. You get to learn new words, make your life more colorful, and fill your daily life with excitement! As for me, I love to share what I have learned with others. I want my students to feel the happiness and excitement from learning languages, knowing how to speak, write, and understand from listening.
I am a multilingual instructor and tutor with a background in Japanese studies from both the University of the Philippines and the University of Tsukuba in Japan. I have been teaching Japanese language for years now. My focus is on building strong fundamentals for beginner learners, yet I also incorporate key elements of intermediate-level Japanese to support a well-rounded learning experience. I am dedicated to providing an enriching and practical approach tailored to each student's pace and goals.

1)What makes you an unique teacher ?
After I graduated from a national university, Hyogo University of Teacher Education, I decided to discover my country and the world.
So, I did a bicycle and hitchhiking trip, I spent every single night at someone’s house for a year in Japan. Then, I started to live in many different countries. I’ve been out of Japan for over a decade, so far.
Those experiences affect not only my understanding of cultures, but also my teaching.
My class won’t be only following the textbook, it comes with cultural perspectives through my experiences.
2)Why are you teaching ?
Spreading History and Culture : Japanese has a long history. I became addicted to knowing more deeper side of my country and sharing my knowledge to the weebs after traveling !
Love to encourage : Simply like to encourage someone. Let me teach, please ! is the sentence that’s always in my mind. I love to see you improve !
Making friends : I think this is the most beautiful part of teaching. All my students become super good friends.
Protecting my culture : After all of those experiences, I truly realized how much cultures are disappearing in this world. I wanna preserve my culture.
And more and more ……
3)Are you teaching Japanese for getting allowance like the others ?
Absolutely NOT.
Currently, I have been providing group lessons for kids, who have different backgrounds in Vancouver, and have been teaching Japanese to anyone who loves to learn one on one.
I’ve even been creating my own contents for better Japanese teaching. I am fully commit my time for this job, not the side business.
This is officially my main focus ;)

Japanese Tutor in Bang Kapi: Experience-Rich Tutor who teaches more than just textbooks.
Konnichiwa! I am a Japanese language tutor at Ramkhamhaeng 50, Hua Mak, Bang Kapi, Bangkok. I specialize in helping students of all levels gain real confidence in speaking, listening, and understanding Japanese—not memorizing grammar rules or textbook phrases.
What sets my lessons apart is my warm, patient teaching style and my focus on practical, everyday Japanese. Whether you're studying for the JLPT, traveling or moving to Japan, or simply wanting to more fully enjoy anime and Japanese culture, I'll guide you in learning in a natural and inspiring manner.
Each lesson is tailored to your pace and objectives. I prefer to use a relaxed style of learning where mistakes are welcomed and progress is made through understanding, not pressure.
Let's study the Japanese language and culture together—one step at a time.
My experience has been that one-to-one personal tuition has a unique value to students because of its ability to resolve the student's personal barriers to learning in a way that lays the foundations for a deep and long-lasting understanding of the subject.

Expert Japanese Tutor, provides practical language skills for work and daily life.
Master's degree in Professional Japanese
Over 20 years of experience working in Japanese culture
Proficient in Japanese for studying, working, and living in Japan
University student in Bangkok who loves anime provides Japanese tutoring.
I am very good at using animation to teach Japanese (only for students who like anime).
This is because there are many benefits of using anime to learn Japanese:
- Improving realistic pronunciation and listening skills.
- Understanding context through visual support.
- Having a fun and casual learning experience.
- Gaining cultural insight.
- Learning in a relaxed environment.
- Learning everyday language and slang.
Animations are one useful tool to support language learning. Of course, I can teach without anime as well.
