About Elaine
Hi! I'm Elaine, a Malaysian Japanese tutor based in Kuala Lumpur.
I've been teaching Japanese since 2021 and have taught students of different ages and learning backgrounds, from children and complete beginners to adult learners.
Before teaching, I studied Japanese in Japan for two years and later completed another two-year professional course there. I also have working experience in Japanese-speaking environments and Japanese-Chinese translation.
As a tutor, I pay attention to how each student learns. Some students need more repetition, some learn better visually, while others need more opportunities to actually use Japanese.
I therefore adjust my lessons and practice materials according to each student's progress rather than expecting everyone to learn in exactly the same way.
My goal is to help students build a solid foundation and gradually become more confident using Japanese on their own.

My Japanese lessons are suitable for children (age 8+), teenagers, and adults, including complete beginners.
Lessons are adjusted to your level, learning pace, and goals. Depending on what you need, we can focus on:
• Japanese for complete beginners
• Hiragana & Katakana
• Vocabulary and grammar
• Sentence building
• Everyday conversation
• Reading and listening
• JLPT preparation (N5–N3)
I don't rely only on textbooks. I also create my own worksheets, visual materials, games, and interactive online practice to help students understand and remember what they learn.
For younger learners, I use more visual and interactive activities to keep lessons engaging while building a strong foundation.
If you are struggling with a particular area, I can also prepare additional practice for that topic instead of simply moving on to the next chapter.
For beginners, I usually recommend one lesson per week to build a consistent learning routine.

Perfect! Very patient and supportive in my Japanese lessons. I struggled initially, now I feel more confident in my language growth journey. Great creativity and passion which makes the learning environment fun and simpler to understand. Thank you!
- Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear that you feel more confident in your Japanese learning journey. Your dedication and effort have made all the difference, and it’s a joy to see your progress. Let’s keep building on this momentum together and make learning even more fun!Elaine's response :
Perfect! Extremely patient, and easy to understand. Makes the journey of learning Japanese a fun one.
- He is a student who is eager and passionate about learning Japanese. During his study of hiragana and katakana, he demonstrated a strong ability to absorb the material quickly and consistently maintained high enthusiasm. Whenever he encountered something he didn’t understand, he actively asked questions and never glossed over difficult points. Now, as he embarks on learning grammar and vocabulary, he strives to thoroughly understand concepts rather than just getting by. With a clear goal of studying abroad in Japan in the future, I am very excited and hopeful to continue supporting and guiding him on his Japanese learning journey.Elaine's response :
Perfect! Comprehensive coaching and patience in guiding
- She is an exceptionally lively and quick-thinking student. Despite this being her first experience learning Japanese, she is able to swiftly grasp the material, showcasing her strong aptitude for learning.Elaine's response :
Perfect! I'm not typically a fast learner, but her teaching style really helps me grasp things quickly. Plus, she's incredibly friendly, which makes the whole experience even better.
- She has a deep love for Japanese. Her attentiveness, thorough review, and willingness to ask questions when something is unclear make me confident that, given time, she will surely be able to master the language.Elaine's response :
Perfect! When you have a passionate teacher, learning become easy and fun at the same time. So lucky that we have found one with Teacher Elaine. Her understanding of the student and tailored her teaching make learning easy and comfortable. Highly recommended!
- She has a great desire to learn and takes notes on what she learns in class, which makes her look great whenever I see her progress.Elaine's response :
Perfect! Elaine is a really patient teacher, and provides good explanations.
- Just had my first lesson with Anne. As she has a basic knowledge of the language, she was able to understand the main points of the lesson very well. She also asks questions that she doesn't understand and doesn't let herself be caught in a situation of not understanding.She is an enthusiastic learner.I had a great time with her.Elaine's response :
Perfect! Elaine is a very dedicated teacher. She planned ahead of her time schedule (always come 10mins before class) and materials for my 5 years old son. My son is looking forward for her class as she makes it fun and interesting material for him. She will update me after each class that what he does and what she will teach for the next class to set an expectation for both parties. Highly recommended.
- Ethan is a kid who is very interested in Japanese. With his fondness for Japanese, he memorized every word I taught him in a short time, and some of the words that I didn't teach him yet, because of his own fondness, he naturally memorized them after listening to them for a few times. He can also speak very simple sentences.I also had a lot of fun playing hiragana memorization games with him. I am looking forward to the time when he can talk to me in Japanese.Elaine's response :
Perfect! Elaine is very patient and she will thing way to make kids feel enjoyable. Highly recommended if yourself or your kids looking for a Japanese tutor.
- He learns and understands words, simple sentences very quickly and is very patient with writing exercises. I am sure that in time he will be able to acquire the ability to speak Japanese.Elaine's response :
Perfect! Clear explanation and easily understandable.
- She is a hardworking and lovely student, she will ask questions if she doesn't understand anything, and the class time with her is very happy.It will take a little more time for her to consolidate the basics of Japanese, from which she will gradually become accustomed to and strengthen her conversational and vocabulary memorization skills.Elaine's response :
