About Nanako
I am a friendly and supportive Japanese teacher who helps learners practice speaking and listening in a relaxed environment so they can use Japanese with more confidence.
I offer relaxed, practical lessons where you can practice expressing what you want to say in Japanese through conversation topics and real communication.
These lessons are suitable for people who are studying Japanese but do not have many chances to use it, as well as learners who already have opportunities to speak Japanese but want support speaking more naturally and accurately.
I welcome both students who want to practice regularly and people who simply want to try speaking with a native Japanese speaker a few times.
For learners who are still complete beginners, I can also provide more structured lessons focusing on grammar and basic Japanese.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Nanako makes the lessons really fun. She’s friendly and professional. Knowledgeable and tailors the lessons to the need of her students. I am enjoying her classes a lot.
- Eileen is very good at understanding sentence structure, and she picks up language concepts very quickly. She also has a strong memory and learns new vocabulary fast.See the response Nanako :
During lessons, she actively tries to express what she wants to say in Japanese, so I believe she will improve quickly.
Let’s keep building your vocabulary and speaking more and more Japanese!
Perfect! I am really glad to learn from Nanako and I am looking forward to learn good Japanese from you. :)
- He has strong speaking and listening skills, so we can conduct the entire one-hour lesson in Japanese. I believe that once he learns new grammar, he will be able to use it right away. Let’s continue studying lots of new grammar together! Let’s do our best for the N3 exam!See the response Nanako :
Perfect! Nanako is amazing teacher, super friendly and creative in her ways of teaching. She always trives to improve my speaking skills with a lot of couragements, inspires me to keep learning and be better. Choosing Nanaka was really my best descision.
- He is very good at memorizing things, and he absorbs Japanese quickly—from things I’ve explained to him to Japanese he has seen in films and other video content—and improves rapidly. He also understands language structures very quickly, which allows him to learn a wide range of Japanese, from formal expressions to the casual Japanese used by native speakers.See the response Nanako :
Perfect! Nanako is such a kind person and always excited to teach which makes it fun to learn from her, she showed sincere interest in teaching Japanese including following up on homework, not with pressure but with an excited interest in my improvement.
- He is a very motivated student.See the response Nanako :
He is currently studying hiragana reading, basic Japanese greetings, and numbers.
He is very enthusiastic about learning hiragana, and he actively asks questions whenever he doesn’t understand something.
He is also familiar with Japanese culture and already has some vocabulary related to karate.
