“Let’s speak Japanese with confidence”
Do you want to learn Japanese? Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming trip to Japan, have fallen in love with Japanese culture, or are perhaps looking to deepen connections to relatives in Japan, whatever the reason you want to study Japanese, I can help.

I am located a short walk from Glenfield Shopping Mall if you are coming via pubic transport. Please note a COVID-19 Vaccine Pass is required on your first visit for in-person lessons.
