    About Wakana Y.

    Hello! My name is Wakana. I am an energetic yet patient native Japanese teacher with many years of experience teaching Japanese. My motto is to provide a learning experience that is enjoyable and encourages students to learn more. I understand how frustrating it can be to learn a language as a second or third language. I also believe that tailoring a lesson to an individual student's diverse interests, needs, and goals is essential because we all have a different learning style. I respect each student’s learning style and create a lesson plan accordingly. I am a firm believer in the importance of repetition in mastering a language and making learning steps enjoyable. Help and knowledge will be provided in all areas. Please ask me any questions** that you have/have had over the years. (**related to Japanese such as grammar, formality, nuance in the language as well as Japanese culture, current trends, or anything!) Please contact me for more information or if you have any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to hearing from you! Doumo arigatougozaimasu. どうもありがとうございます。

    I've had the pleasure of learning Japanese from Wakana sensei, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She possesses a deep understanding of both the Japanese language and its cultural nuances, and what truly stands out is her knack for explaining even the most unexpected questions in a friendly and approachable manner. Under her guidance, I've not only improved my language skills but also gained a richer appreciation for Japanese culture. If you're looking for a tutor who is not only proficient but also makes learning fun, Wakana is the best teacher.

    Wakana-sensei is very friendly and enthusiastic about teaching Japanese. It is very helpful to have more opportunities to speak Japanese and to learn more grammar and vocabulary.
