Introduction: I have been teaching and sharing my knowledge of Japanese for the past 12 years. When working with students, I customize lesson plans to fit their needs. All of my students see progress in their Japanese after just one lesson. All ages and skill levels are welcome. For my younger students, we focus on learning through speaking, listening, and using visual tools. For my adult students, we study Japanese through a cultural lens. I place an emphasis on speaking throughout the lesson. I also do a JLPT preparation course and remote lessons for your convenience. I enjoy meeting every one of them who is interesting in learning Japanese. They all come from the different backgrounds and objectives. Seeing how my clients enjoy and improve is the most rewarding thing to me.

My son and I are both working with Mrs. Mayumi and it’s been a great experience. She is a very talented and good teacher. She takes her time to make sure we are understanding and getting the lessons. She is also very patient with us and enjoys helping us on our journey to learn Japanese.

Mayumi San is truly amazing! My family and I go to Japan often and it’s always been a goal of mine to become fluent. Mayumi San meets you where you are and will alter each lesson to your needs. She is incredibly patient and will always make time to answer all your questions. …I reached out to a number of tutors on Thumbtack but ultimately chose Mayumi San because of the warmth in her initial response and I’m so happy I did! She’s incredibly kind and personable. If you want to learn Japanese, Mayumi San is the one. Book with her! You won’t regret it.

Mayumi-san is very patient and flexible, adjusting each lesson based on the pace of how I’m learning that day, but also encouraging to try more new words and phrases.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a range of basic rates suitable for clients wishing to undergo 1, 1.5 or 2 hour sessions. Depending on lesson frequency, my rates are adjusted accordingly and I am always open for discussion.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With a new customer I'll begin by organising a prerequisite introductory phone or video call, which is then followed by an assessment meeting in which I will gain an understanding of the client at hand's interests and objectives. From there, I suggest a learning plan which can easily be tailored, and subsequently begin working with the new client.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I am highly experienced in working with a range of ages, profession and location as my clientele is extensive and varied.
