About Takara

With more than 20 years of teaching experience in Europe since 2004, I help students learn Japanese in a practical, enjoyable, and structured way.

Through Takara Japanese Online School, I have supported students from many different countries for:

Travel
Business Japanese
JLPT preparation
University studies
Relocation to Japan
Personal interests and culture

Experience with All Ages & Backgrounds

Over the years, I have taught:

Children
Teenagers
University students
Professionals
Adult learners

I work with students from a wide variety of cultural and professional backgrounds, adapting lessons to each student’s goals and learning style.

Learn Real Japanese Communication & Culture

Before moving to Europe, I also worked in professional environments in Tokyo.

This allows me to teach not only the Japanese language itself, but also:

Practical communication styles
Business manners
Natural expressions
Cultural nuances used in real life

Patient, Supportive & Clear Teaching Style

Students often appreciate my:

Patient and supportive approach
Clear explanations
Ability to explain difficult concepts in English and Italian when needed

My goal is to help students:

Build confidence
Stay motivated
Enjoy learning Japanese
Achieve results effectively and naturally

About the lesson

I combine a structured textbook-based approach with personalized speaking practice, helping students progress step by step with confidence.

Learn Real Japanese Used in Daily & Professional Life

Before moving to Europe, I worked in different professional environments in Tokyo.

Because of this experience, I can also help students understand:

Practical workplace communication
Professional Japanese manners
Business culture and etiquette
Natural communication styles used in Japanese society

My goal is not only to teach the language itself, but also to help students understand how Japanese is truly used in real life.

Advanced learners who want to sound more natural and fluent

Patient, Personalized & Efficient Teaching Style

I teach in a patient but efficient way, always adapting the lesson style and pace to each student’s:

Goals
Personality

I want students to feel comfortable, motivated, and confident while making steady progress in Japanese.

I have traveled to Japan for work many times and still go there from time to time. I started taking lessons with Takara-sensei because I wanted to feel more confident with the language during my trips.

Her teaching style is so helpful and practical! Instead of just doing boring textbook exercises, she taught me the actual professional vocabulary and business manners I need when interacting with people in Japan. It made a huge difference for me.

Thanks to her amazing support, I even passed the JLPT N2 exam! Balancing work and studying wasn't easy, but Takara always kept me motivated and made the lessons fun.

She is a wonderful, encouraging teacher, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Japanese!

I started taking Japanese lessons with Takara-sensei in 2011 and studied with her until 2013. After a longer break, we resumed private lessons in 2021 and have continued until today (2026). What I appreciate most is how well she adapts her teaching to my level and goals. She helped me prepare intensively for the JLPT N3 exam, which I successfully passed thanks to her support and guidance. Takara-sensei is a patient, highly professional teacher with deep knowledge of Japanese language and culture. Her lessons are always engaging and well structured, and after many years of studying together, she has also become a trusted friend. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and motivating Japanese teacher.
