Description:

For just $30, you can book your first one-hour lesson with me, Miku, a native of Hawaii and Japan. I have a degree in hospitality and tourism from Dokkyo University and have worked as a flight attendant for both ANA and American Airlines. I offer private lessons over Skype or FaceTime, focusing on conversation skills, correct pronunciation, and proper grammar using the β€˜Genki’ textbook. Group lessons are also an option. Don't worry about purchasing the textbook – it's included. The classes are laid back, and I'll cater to your pace so you can learn comfortably. Please note that I have a 24-hour cancellation policy; any cancellations made within the designated window will result in a 50% charge. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Her teaching is suitable for both novice and proficient students. With a well-defined curriculum, she sets achievable objectives for her learners and provides a range of activities, exercises, listening tasks from Youtube, and more. I find her classes to be enjoyable, especially when she shares knowledge about the Japanese people, society, traditions, and everyday life that is highly valuable.

Miku-san is amazing! I started learning Japanese for fun as I travel to Asia every year and I thought it would be useful. Due to COVID, my plans for this year changed but my Japanese lessons have been helpful in another way. I am now able to understand some of the sentences in my anime shows without being glued to the screen all the time. All of this progress has been made in less than a year of taking lessons. Miku-san is excellent at teaching vocabulary and she is incredibly patient, which is something I truly appreciate. Despite the distance between us, she is very accommodating with scheduling our lessons. I can't speak highly enough of Miku-san, and I eagerly anticipate every lesson. 😊

My personal understanding of the Japanese language has been greatly enhanced by Miku's exceptional assistance. Miku has consistently been punctual and available for lessons almost every week. Despite my incessant question-asking, she has patiently answered each one to the best of her ability, without causing confusion for someone new to Japanese. Working through the Genki 1 textbook together, Miku has primarily aided my grammar. During each lesson, I am required to form Japanese sentences, and Miku's corrections are incredibly helpful. She takes the time to explain even the smallest reasons why a particular phrase should be used instead of an alternative. While I cannot vouch for other tutors, as Miku is my first one, I can confidently recommend her to anyone in search of a tutor who is both easy to understand and easy to communicate with. Additionally, Miku creates a non-judgmental and pressure-free environment for learners. γ‚γ‚ŠγŒγ¨γ†γ”γ–γΎγ—γŸ, γΏγε…ˆη”Ÿ!

Working with Miku as my teacher has been a truly rewarding experience. Despite having no prior experience with the language, I have been taking weekly remote lessons with her since December 2019 and as of July 2020, I can confidently say that I have progressed significantly. Learning Japanese with Miku has been both fun and challenging at the same time - just the right balance for me. She is an excellent communicator who is flexible and possesses a wealth of knowledge, which adds depth and complexity to our lessons. Aside from being a fantastic teacher, she has also been a pleasure to chat and learn from. Far from my initial doubts, my journey to learn a new language with Miku has been nothing but fulfilling.

Having come across Miku Oka-San as my Japanese language teacher, I consider myself extremely lucky. Her expertise in teaching is among the finest and her patience and adaptability have made learning an enjoyable experience. Additionally, I seek her counsel before my significant discussions with Japanese customers, and she has always been accessible to assist me. Miku-San, thank you for being a remarkable individual and instructor.
