Our collaboration will begin with discussing your goals, current language proficiency level, and interests. Based on this information, we will together develop a personalized learning program that will be maximally effective specifically for you. If you have specific topics you'd like to study or certain language skills you aim to develop — feel free to share your wishes!

I firmly believe that active conversational practice is the fastest and most effective way to master the Japanese language. That's why a significant part of our lessons will be dedicated to developing speaking skills in various situations. However, I also pay due attention to reading, writing, and listening, ensuring comprehensive development of language competencies.

At the same time, I believe that enjoying the learning process plays a key role in achieving success. I try to make lessons interesting, engaging, and useful so that you look forward to each new class. My teaching approach is built on creating a positive and supportive atmosphere where you will feel comfortable and confident.

I am not an advocate of strictly following textbooks (although, of course, in some situations a textbook can be excellent material, and I will gladly use it if justified). Instead, I prefer to work with authentic materials — news, magazine articles, videos, songs, and topics that truly interest you.

This approach allows not only learning words, grammar, and expressions in a living context but also immersing yourself in Japanese culture, which is necessary for a true understanding of the language. We can discuss anime, manga, Japanese cuisine, traditions, modern Japanese life — anything that sparks your interest and motivates you to learn.

Whether you're learning Japanese for work, travel, understanding Japanese pop culture, or simply out of love for the language — I will help you achieve your goals in an accessible and enjoyable way. Let's turn learning Japanese into an exciting adventure together!
