I have Great news! I am happy to announce that Claire, one of my students, passed JLPT N3 in 2021, and Sarah passed JLPT N2 in 2025. Lots of my students passed JLPT N5 each year. I am a native Japanese who was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. "159" people received my service through Thumbtack and I have a total of "102" positive reviews including 97(verified & unverified) by Thumbtack, FOR JUST 3 YEARS and a half - as of August 5, 2018. "103" people received my service through Thumbtack, and I received the verified "50" positive 5-star reviews For JUST 2 YEARS and a half. - as of June 31 2017. I started to join in the service through Thumbtack in 2015. That is the proof that My Tutoring Service through it has succeeded. I teach from totally Beginners up to the people who challenge to take JLPT N1 - N5, AP Japanese Language. The native Japanese learned English in the U.S.A. and achieved fluency, I received a BBA degree, majoring in Accounting at a college in the US in 2014. I can stand in Your position and teach Japanese to You. I create my own unique program Just For You because each student has different characteristics, capacities, and interests. I search and research a bunch of material for Your programs. In the limited time on each session, I organize the program so that You are satisfied with it. To be honest, I look for the people who really need my service. When I recognize that my students study hard while enjoying my program, it enhances my motivation to create better programs for them. I will feel happy when they feel happy to receive my service.

Hello, I took a trial class and it was a great introduction to Japanese language and cultural experience. She broke down the character sets and basically language differences between English/Japanese.

Very professional and punctual for the trial lesson. It was only an hour but I definitely learned a lot about the japanese language within that hour. Also helped with common misconceptions that foreigners going to Japan do with verbiage in certain situations which was very helpful. Would highly recommend learning Japanese from her.

Completed the trial lesson - she was very professional, and responsive with communication. She provided some useful reading, and answered all the questions I had. Looking forward to continuing lessons this year.

I loved my trial lesson with Sakura so much! I learned a lot in just a short time and see how she is not just a teacher of language but of the culture of the language. If you’re a beginner (like me), she is very kind, patient and sweet.

Sakura was very responsive, and also helped to make sure I was prepared for the session. She is professional and values the understanding of not just the language, but the culture and context for sustained learning. I’m very excited to work together and learn more!
