Professional Japanese Teacher for JLPT & Grammar:
Hello!
My name is Tomoko.
For the past 10 years—yes, even today!—I’ve been working as a Japanese language teacher at a Japanese language center in Vietnam.
Three years ago, I returned to Japan and have been teaching online at the same center ever since.
My students in their 20s often say they feel like talking with a mom in the classes.
I love:
Growing vegetables in my garden (currently mini tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and komatsuna)
Driving (I can drive large tour buses, trucks, taxis, regular cars, and motorcycles)
Reading (manga, science fiction, children’s books, mystery novels, ghost stories, etc.)
Baking sweets

I have 10 years of experience as a Japanese language teacher and hold two teaching certifications. I'm especially skilled in improving students’ listening and speaking abilities‼️
I teach about 80 students every day, so I’m very good at understanding each student’s unique personality‼️
I constantly put in effort and creativity to make sure every student says, “That was fun!” after class 💪

"My objective was to consolidate grammar and vocabulary to become more fluent in speaking. I appreciated that Tomoko-sensei respected my choice of textbook; she is also patient and dedicated, which was reassuring. "
"Supportive, always on time, and communicates with you between classes quickly. Although she's unable to explain in depth concepts in English, I think this challenges you to stay thinking in Japanese during the lesson."
