Japanese Lessons in Belltown. Amazing Teachers.

Through my experience as a youth ambassador to the island of Shikoku, studying at University in Tokyo, tutoring Japanese as a Resident Assistant for 2 years and working at a Japanese contemporary art gallery, I feel with my diverse set of experiences I am able to clearly communicate and make either setting a new foundation or building off one a fun experience!

I began learning Japanese at 15 years old where I studied as a Rotary Ambassador in an agriculture village for one year. Having never studied the language prior and in a small community with no English speakers - I feel I created some unique and fun ways to learn a language and really make it stick!

Although with my experience now working bilingually at a Japanese company, I am also conformable helping students with a good foundation of the language already deepen their understanding.

I am able to teach reading, writing and speaking!

If you're interested in taking lessons or have any questions, please feel free to message ...

I have been teaching and tutoring this language over 5 years. I started my teaching after being a language and university student in Japan.

I can help students get grasp of Japanese as I had to learn it myself as a foreign language.

Hi My name is Seiko. I am an experienced Japanese tutor teaching locally in Silicon vally/Bay area, CA. My sessions would be individually tailored based on your interests, necessary improvements and goals. You would most likely use textbooks during sessions. For business needs, my work experience would help you not only learning the language but also strengthening your communication skills in understanding of its cultural aspects and nuance. For job seekers and Japanese college applications, I have experience of reviewing and proofreading resume and essays as well as AP/JLPT test preparations.

Initially I like to evaluate the student's current comprehension level (regardless of years studied) to better select the appropriate starting point. From there, if there is a specific subject matter or course work/syllabus for a class that needs to be followed, I can tailor lessons to fit those needs. Throughout lessons, I like to bring in elements such as cartoons, newspapers, movie clips, etc. to aid in understanding everyday usage & make learning practical and pertinent to the student.
