Hello! My name is Nami. I was born and raised in Japan. I'm from Osaka.
Since our family used to host students, I have experience interacting with international people. After graduating from university, I worked on travel-related work. I’ve been to many countries both on work and in private. I live in Spain now. I love meeting new people!

My lessons & teaching style
We will start with Japanese characters Hiragana and Katakana. Knowing Japanese characters will help you pronounce each word correctly and understand the grammar easily.
We will use textbooks and workbooks, which are well structured and based on conversational Japanese. I will provide you PDF files of the textbook. The textbook has a lot of exercises so you can practice grammar in different situations.
We will also have a conversation using the grammar we learned in the previous lessons. My lessons cover all Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
If you already know some Japanese, let me know your Japanese level and learning experience.

An exceptional teacher that encourages the student throughout the lesson. Each lesson is filled with plenty to learn, not a second wasted, and it is also a lot of fun and very interesting. I feel very lucky to have found Nami-sensei and I always look forward to our next lesson. どうもありがとうございました。

I always enjoy my lessons with Nami and I appreciate her kind and helpful nature. She is very good at making me feel comfortable speaking Japanese and guiding me towards the correct answer when I make a mistake.

I've been taking her class for a year. She's wonderful and I've learned so much!! I try to get her lessons when I can since I'm so busy but I probably took around 30 lessons with her. 😁

I think that Nami is a wonderful, bright, fun and patient teacher. I started out with little to no confidence in speaking, but thanks to Nami's teaching style, I've learned so much and gotten much more comfortable communicating. We usually end up talking about various topics during a lesson and I always leave with a sense of accomplishment and feel inspired to learn even more. She is also excellent at explaining things and very resourceful. I wouldn't even hesitate to recommend her lessons!
