Private Japanese Tutor in Auckland and Online

Hi everyone, I'm Risako from Japan.

I'm a native Japanese speaker. I have students from different countries, and I also teach business Japanese. When I lived in Australia, I also had the opportunity to teach Japanese to children.

I enjoy helping people learn Japanese in a fun and relaxed way!

What we can learn together:
Everyday conversation and natural Japanese
Grammar, vocabulary, and reading
Japanese for travel
Business Japanese
Learning materials for beginners

We can focus on what you'd like to learn and find a way that works for you, whether you're learning Japanese for travel, work, or just for fun.
I can communicate in everyday English, and I'd love to help you improve your Japanese at your own pace.

About me:
I'm currently working as a freelance designer and Japanese tutor. In the future, I'd also love to open my own select shop, sharing things made with care and the stories behind them.

I'm a curious person who enjoys learning about different people, cultures, and ways of thinking. I like having conversations and hearing about people's everyday lives.

I enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle, taking time to appreciate the little things, and of course, having a good cup of coffee.

I enjoy teaching Japanese because I get to connect with people through language and conversation. In my lessons, I'd like to create a relaxed space where we can talk naturally, learn at your own pace, and enjoy the process without worrying too much about making mistakes.
