About Maki
Hello! I'm Maki, your Japanese instructor!
I was born and raised in Japan, and I spent 10 years working as a corporate employee in both Japanese and foreign financial institutions. Following that, I lived and worked in Thailand for two years.
Having learned a foreign language myself, I deeply understand the challenges of working in cross-cultural environments and the importance of showing respect for other cultures.
Drawing on the "real-world Japanese business culture" and "smooth communication skills" I cultivated through my corporate career and international life, I am fully committed to supporting you in building your career in Japan!

[Do you have any of these concerns?]
You passed the JLPT N1 or N2, but you still lack confidence in how to speak at work.
You often feel confused by unique Japanese business customs and "ambiguous expressions."
You want to prepare for the BJT (Business Japanese Proficiency Test) while building "real-world practical skills" that actually work on the job.
Those struggles don't mean you lack "correct Japanese"—you just haven't learned the "social rules (unwritten laws) of Japanese society" yet.
What you will gain from this lesson
Job-Ready Business Manners: Knowledge that allows you to act with confidence at work starting tomorrow.
Keigo That Earns Respect: Moving beyond simple "textbook templates" to expressive language that conveys respect and intelligence.
Translating Japanese Corporate Culture: Understanding the true meaning behind "reading the room" (kuuki o yomu) and ambiguous phrasing, plus the unwritten rules of working in a team.
BJT Preparation Support: Simultaneous acquisition of exam-passing strategies and practical wisdom you can use immediately in the workplace.
Recommended for those who:
Want to work in a Japanese company or are already working and aiming for higher goals.
Want to turn their advanced Japanese proficiency into a powerful "weapon" in the business world.
Want to graduate from "overly polite, unnatural Japanese" and build the expression skills to stand as an equal with colleagues and supervisors.
Let's work together to maximize your career in Japan!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Maki.
Perfect! I had a fantastic introductory lesson with Maki! She’s a warm, engaging teacher who made the conversation flow easily from the very start. I really appreciated how she tailored the lesson to my goals—since I’m mainly interested in learning Japanese for travel rather than reading and writing, she focused on practical conversation and useful phrases I’ll actually use in Japan.
Maki’s teaching style is encouraging and patient, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about her students’ progress and confidence. The lesson felt relaxed yet productive, and I came away feeling much more motivated to keep learning. Overall, Maki left a wonderful impression—I’m excited to continue lessons with her!View more reviews

Her dedication and positive attitude made a meaningful difference to the group.
I met Maki at university, and we became friends while studying together.
During the Great East Japan Earthquake, we volunteered side by side in the disaster-relief efforts.
