Private Japanese Tutor in Auckland and Online

Hi, I'm Karen.

My focus is to help you speak with confidence in real-life situations—whether you're ordering food at a sushi restaurant, asking for directions while traveling in Japan, or meeting new people.

In our lessons, you'll learn essential words and phrases, and then we’ll put them into action through fun, interactive activities like role-play, card games, board games, Pictionary, and more.
I try to make my lessons so enjoyable that you always look forward to the next one!

I live in North Shore, Auckland.
If you're in the area, please send me a message to discuss how I can help you reach your goals!

【Experience】
・3 years teaching Japanese (I'm a native speaker)
・I usually use the book Marugoto for vocabulary, phrases, and grammar, but if you’d prefer to use something else, I’d be more than happy to accommodate!
・Levels: mainly beginners and intermediate
・Age: High school students to adults
・7 years teaching English (ages 5 to adults)

【More about me】
・I have lived in the US, Sweden, and Australia
・I love comedy, including Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory
・My favorite animal is cats, especially exotic shorthairs
・I'm a huge fan of the author Barbra Sher. Her Ted Talk "Isolation is the Dream Killer, Not your Attitude" is available on YouTube if you're interested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Japanese easy to learn?

Japanese is considered one of the more challenging languages to learn, but I believe it's also one of the most rewarding.
Since many Japanese people don’t speak English fluently, being able to communicate in Japanese will make your life much easier when you're in Japan.

How much time does it take to learn Japanese in Auckland?

Reaching a basic conversational level might take several months of consistent study, while achieving fluency could take a few years. Making learning enjoyable is essential because consistency is the key to progress.
I believe Auckland has several language exchange meetups, giving you plenty of opportunities to practice and immerse yourself in Japanese.
