About Sophie
皆んなさん、こんにちは!日本語を学べばたいですか?私は助けることが出来ます。Hello everyone! Do you want to learn Japanese? I can help with that. My name is Sophie, I have been studying the Japanese language and culture for almost 13 years. I have previously lived abroad teaching English in Osaka and have taught Japanese upon my return to New Zealand. I have an undying passion for the language/culture and would love to inspire you through my interactive, hands on teaching style.
As a fully conversational Japanese speaker, I can confidently teach you Hiragana, Katakana and a couple hundred Kanji. I will do so by introducing you to basic grammar structure so that you can practice reading and writing the three scripts. From there, we will work on more advanced grammar/sentence structure, different verb forms, vocabulary and I would be happy to individually tailor lesson plans to suit your needs.
Japanese may seem like a difficult language to learn but I will provide you with learning recourses you can take home and make sure we move along at your own pace. Mistakes will not be frowned upon as they are a vital part of learning any skill, especially a language.
I am confident in teaching basic, intermediate and entry level advanced Japanese. I also have many Japanese friends/family members I can reach out to if you want to cover something I may not be 100% on.
Diving into the Japanese language and culture has been the most rewarding experience of my life. It has allowed me to meet hundreds of wonderful people and see some of the most beautiful parts of the world. I would be truly honoured to share my experiences and knowledge with you.
Everyone learns at a different pace but with regular lessons, I would expect you to be able to proficiently use both Hiragana/Katakana and confidently hold a few basic conversations.
日本のすべての喜びを体験してください! ご検討をお願いいたしまして、ソフィー先生。
Experience all the joys of Japanese! Thank you for your consideration,
Sophie Sensei.

Perfect! Sophie was kind enough to take time out of her morning to participate in my survey through the Superprof messaging system. She answered all my questions the best she was able to, and did so in such a timely manner. She's very passionate about the Japanese language and culture, and would make a great tutor for you. If you're thinking about taking classes with Sophie, stop thinking, and just do it!

Sophie is a gifted tutor with a natural ability to explain clearly and help you learn no matter how hard something may seem. She worked as an assistant teacher with me in my classes at college and the students learnt so effectively from her. I have taught Japanese for 20 years, trained many teachers and have rarely seen such natural talent for teaching. Sophie is not only passionate about Japan and it’s language but also about teaching that to others. She connects with all ages and abilities and, trust me, you won’t find a better Japanese tutor.
Gina Edens, teacher of Japanese, Waimea College.If you are wanting to enhance your Japanese or you want to learn a new language/skill to have under your belt, I couldn’t recommend Sophie enough. She is super kind and compassionate and can cater to any learning ability and age. Her passion for teaching the language definitely rubs off onto you whilst learning with her! I was lucky enough to have her assist me and other students in some of my Japanese classes at Waimea College. She’s fun, energetic, and is motivated to help you get whatever you’d like out of learning Japanese with her. Would 100% recommend her!
