I'm Ikumi from Tokyo, offering immersive Japanese lessons since 2022. My personalised approach suits learners of all ages, from 8-year-olds to travellers up to 70. Join me to master Japanese!

Deadly! This was such a good introductory lesson. Ikumi was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and passionate. Our 12 year old was very pleased with the way the lesson was delivered and she very kindly sent information over so that Leo can practice until the next lesson.

Deadly! Ikumi is a great teacher. She keeps the learning immersive by using comprehensible input among other methods. She balances the right amount of nurture and challenge. And her patience, friendliness, and sense of fun make each session a joy to look forward to.

Deadly! Ikumi is incredibly patient and ASD-friendly, making the lesson a wonderful experience for my son. He absolutely loved it and is already using what he learned with our family—excitedly telling everyone how kind and helpful his teacher is. I really appreciate how Ikumi speaks to him in Japanese while providing translations, which helps him pick up the language naturally. Thank you for creating such a supportive and positive learning environment for him!
