About Me.
Hi, I'm Manaka. From Tokyo to Exeter and now Toulouse, I teach Japanese in English through practical, personalized lessons for kids, teens, and adults.
My Global Journey
Roots in Japan
Raised in Tokyo, I developed a deep understanding of Japanese language, communication style, and culture.
University of Exeter, UK
I studied International Business and Modern Languages, which strengthened my communication skills across cultures.
Toulouse, France
I am currently on exchange at TBS Toulouse Business School and offering Japanese lessons in Toulouse and online.
How I Teach
Private Lessons = Personalized
In private classes, lessons are fully adapted to each learner: pace, materials, and goals.
Groups = Structured Conversation
Small group lessons focus on conversation practice with clear structure and guided activities.
Textbooks + Original Materials
I combine textbooks with my own Japanese learning materials to make lessons practical and engaging.
Progress Every 3 Months
Most students notice meaningful improvement over around 3 months, depending on starting level and consistency.
