About
* My class is set in action at Japanese stores such as Kinokuniya and Katagiri, in NYC, using role-playing practice with natives, getting better instantly via feedback correction. Intense but speedy learning like no other.
* I speak both Kanto and Kansai dialects fluently. Understanding the differences will help when you travel in Japan.
* Affordable effective class cost.
As a seasoned fitness trainer, I enjoy teaching Japanese on-the-move.
Compared with the traditional sit-n-learn method, new vocabulary and grammar get absorbed more quickly and improve recall.
I adore every "mini Japanese trip lesson" that usually comes out with surprises.
Matching Game is our review time when you match my sentence cards to the photos we took on the trip while having a steaming cup of green tea: my favorite moment!

Hideka,
Was very quick to respond to my initial request for translating documents and/or certificates.
Very accurate in her translation and provided an excellent and easy to read format of all documents provided.
I would definitely recommend her and I do plan on using her talents and service’s again in the near future.
“Thanks for the Translation!”
Robert
