About
“Ma Place” means “My Place” in French. I believe that learning a new language is like finding another place where you belong. My lessons will be a “place” where you can relax, feel at home, and recharge your energy. Welcome to “Ma Place.” I will be glad if you can add it as one of your places.

With 20 years of experience in administrative and secretarial roles in corporate and academic settings, I can support students with not only everyday Japanese, but also business and academic Japanese.
Having learned multiple languages myself, I deeply understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language.

features

I propose a lesson plan that fits your specific goals and lifestyle. Even after starting lessons, I will flexibly adjust the materials and content to match your progress and preferences, ensuring the lessons are uniquely tailored to you. Please note that I use "Direct Method," so only Japanese is used during my lessons.

Using my education, knowledge, and experience in linguistics, I support each person depending on their level. In addition, by deepening your understanding of Japanese culture and lifestyle, the lessons will increase your interest in Japanese language.

Online lessons in a relaxed learning atmosphere, or in-person lessons for a more personal, real-life interaction. Which do you prefer? I strive to make the most of every lesson, so you can get the same learning results in either format.
