About Mana

Hi, my name is Mana. I am a native Japanese speaker born and raised in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. I studied abroad in Los Angeles when I was 18 to learn English. I received my BA in Psychology in the United States. I am currently living in North Georgia (near Chattanooga TN).

My hobbies are traveling, cooking, watching anime, and playing video games. I also love learning about psychology and mental health. I was part of a mental health organization in California, where I helped support people experiencing mental health challenges.

About the lesson

[Teaching Experience]
I have been teaching Japanese online to students around the world for more than 3 years. I hold a certificate in a 420-hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course. I also have experience working as a tutor at a cram school in Yokohama, Japan. In 2019, I went to Cambodia as a Japanese culture educator, where I taught Japanese culture in local schools.

[My Lesson Styles]
I currently offer 3 types of lessons. I can also customize these lessons based on your goals and needs, so please feel free to share what you would like to focus on!

1. For beginner students, we will study the Japanese alphabet, basic grammar, and conversation with support from the Genki 1 textbook. During lessons, I use both our chat and the textbook to help improve your Japanese skills in a balanced and interactive way.

2. For intermediate and advanced students, conversation and discussion focused lessons are available (suitable for those who have passed JLPT N3 or higher, or have an equivalent proficiency level.). In these lessons, we will use NHK News Web Easy or NHK News Web as the main materials. We will improve reading, speaking, listening, and comprehension skills by discussing the topics of each article. These lessons are perfect for students who want to practice output and develop their conversational Japanese naturally.

3. Casual conversation practice is also available for students who want to improve their speaking skills in a more relaxed setting.

Homework is not mandatory because every student has different needs and learning styles. However, if you would like homework, please let me know and I will be happy to provide it.

[Message]
It is important to me that students enjoy learning and using Japanese in my lessons. I want you to feel comfortable and free from the pressure of making mistakes during our lessons. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about the Japanese language and culture at any time during class.

In our first lesson, let’s get to know each other! I’d love to hear about your goals for learning Japanese and what you would like to focus on.

I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Mana-san is a great teacher for me to learn Japanese. She always helps me to improve my skills, teach me more about Japanese culture, daily life and etc. I'm so grateful because she still can understand me even thought my Japanese is messed. She also helps me learn kanji and correcting the grammar and vocabulary in the way for me to easy to understand it. I really recommend her to those who want to learn Japanese because she is so friendly, easy to understand and the classes that I have with her were so much fun.

Mana is so approachable and easy to work with! She is much more kind and patient than any other Japanese tutor I have had in the past, and I have had quite a lot! Her flexability to change her style to meet her students' needs speaks a lot about her skills and abilities as a Japanese language tutor. I recommend her to the highest degree!
