About Mai
Hello! I’m Mai.
I’m a native Japanese speaker from Shizuoka, Japan, currently living in Australia. As a language learner myself (studying English and Spanish!), I know exactly how it feels to face the anxiety and confusion of learning a new language.
That’s why I focus on creating gentle, patient, and beginner-friendly lessons. I want to create a space where you can feel safe to make mistakes!
My Hobbies: Traveling, food, working out, knitting, anime, Judo, and World History.
These lessons are perfect for you if:
You are completely new to Japanese.
You don't know where to start.
You feel nervous about speaking and want to build confidence.
You want to learn practical Japanese phrases for travel.
You want to enjoy learning Japanese at a relaxed pace.
My Approach:
I prioritize practical phrases and real conversation over dry grammar rules. Let's start speaking from day one in a fun and confident way!

️ Message
Although I am still relatively new as a teacher, I focus on creating lessons where beginners can feel safe and comfortable.
I aim for lessons that make you feel:
“This is fun,” “It’s easy to talk,” and “I want to keep learning!”
I will support you slowly, carefully, and at your own pace, so you can continue learning Japanese for the long term.
Even if you are starting from beginner, that’s completely okay!
Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together
