Private Japanese Tutor in Melbourne and Online

★Face to Face & Online available ★Hi! I’m Kumi. I am a full-time Japanese teacher at a language school with over six years of experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds. My teaching style is relaxed and adaptable to all levels of learners.

For beginners, lessons are conducted in English to ensure a smooth transition into learning Japanese. The lesson styles are flexible and can be tailored to your preferences. If you plan to visit Japan, I also offer travel conversation classes to help you navigate daily interactions during your trip.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries. I look forward to the opportunity to study with you and support your Japanese language learning journey.

Kumi-san is very patient, friendly and knows how to pace the lesson well each class. She’s always conversing in Japanese which encourages me to respond in kind, but she’s also ready to translate any words I struggle with. Thank you for always listening to my very slow and full of grammatical errors Japanese! All in all, highly recommended :)

I’ve had lessons with Kumi for the past few weeks. I can’t thank her enough for her time and effort. Kumi and the lessons themselves exceeded my expectations. She is a patient and enthusiastic teacher of Japanese. Her method of teaching is clear, professional , very flexible and her bubbly personality and passion for teaching Japanese ensures the lessons are fun and valuable. Arigatou gozaimasu Kumi!

After struggling to keep up with university level Japanese, Kumi helped me not only keep up with my studies but advance them further in other aspects (applying for external tests and programs). I studied with Kumi for well over a year and the one on one lessons were more helpful than anything else. Being able to practice conversation, learn at my own pace and learn vocab which was more useful/relevant to my life made learning Japanese so much easier. I'm incredibly grateful for everything I learnt whilst studying with Kumi and highly recommend them for anyone wishing to study or struggling to study Japanese.

I’ve been a student of Kumi for more than two years and have really enjoyed the experience. I’ve used both in-person and zoom lessons and in each case my teacher was always clear and easy to understand. The lesson format for one-on-one lessons works really well for me. When I am ready to move on we don’t waste time, and when some grammar or phrase isn’t sticking we take the time to get comfortable with it before moving on.

I started learning Japanese on Duolingo 6 months ago but soon felt I also needed a tutor to listen to, practise speaking with, and to teach me more broadly. I can't believe how lucky I am to have found Kumi. She is a fabulous teacher, and lots of fun as well! I have made huge progress with her in my hour long, weekly, online sessions, and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Kumi!!!!

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Kumi for around 6 months now and am loving it. Ive tried to learn in the past but never stuck with it, I think it might be to do with my teacher because since learning from Kumi I've found a new passion and am excited to keep coming back. Kumi makes the lessons fun and easy to follow, also any questions I have she is more than happy to help even outside of our tutor lesson. Thank you for your patience and support, I would definitely recommend Kumi to anyone who is thinking about taking Japanese lessons ども　ありがとう　ございまづ くみ　せんせい

Kumi does a great job at pacing her lessons so that they are easy to follow while still pushing me to expand my knowledge. She’s also very friendly and often checks if I have any questions or requests, which ensures that I’m able to make the most of the session.

Kumi is a warm person. Whilst unfailingly tailoring to my demands, she displays evident care regarding whether or not I have fully grasped her explanations. I strongly recommend her as a tutor.
