About August
With a First-Class degree with distinction in spoken Japanese from the prestigious University of Edinburgh, I offer a highly professional and effective approach to Japanese language tutoring. My teaching methodology is based on personal experience and proven techniques, including scientifically backed methods of memorization and information retention. Having lived and worked in Japan, I bring authentic cultural insights to my lessons, ensuring a rich and immersive learning experience. My life mission is to contribute positively to bridging cultures through language teaching and learning. I believe that language is a powerful tool that is inseparably intertwined with culture, and something that can bring people together to progress towards a more unified world. For me, learning languages has given me purpose in life; I began to enjoy learning and education in ways I never realised that I could, and I connected with people and opportunities that I may have never been able to otherwise. Spreading that joy and passion to my students is what makes me happiest!

Techniques and Methodology
I teach using methods that helped me excel in Japanese, focusing on techniques that maximize retention and comprehension, such as spaced repetition and active recall. Drawing on my time living and working in Japan, I incorporate cultural aspects into lessons to provide a deeper understanding of how the language is used in everyday life. Whether you are learning for academic reasons, exams, conversational fluency, or just for fun, lessons are tailored to fit your individual goals!
I also integrate scientifically backed memory-enhancing techniques such as mnemonics, flashcards, and interval learning to support long-term retention.
Lessons are typically 60 minutes, but can be adjusted according to your preference.
Qualifications and Experience
I hold a First-Class degree with distinction in spoken Japanese from the University of Edinburgh and have firsthand experience of the Japanese language and culture through my time living in Japan and studying at Seikei University in Tokyo, as well as working as an English teacher there.
My self-driven study in multiple languages and musical instruments has further shaped my understanding of how to effectively teach and learn new skills. Though I am not a native speaker of Japanese, I believe that I offer an invaluable perspective on how to learn the language having learned it myself, and I am very eager to share it with others!
Lessons are for students from absolute beginner level with no prior knowledge of Japanese up to Intermediate learners (up to JLPT N2 level).
Suitable for all ages, including those preparing for exams, those seeking to improve their Japanese, or just for fun!
