Japanese Tutor

Mako

Hi, I'm Mako, born and raised in Aichi prefecture, Japan. I have lived in France, the UK, and Hong Kong, and I am currently living in Australia.

As a language learning coach with over two years of experience teaching Japanese in Australia, I have taught both group and one-on-one lessons for learners of all levels. Having learned different languages myself, I understand how challenging it can be to start a new language. I’m friendly, patient, and dedicated to helping you achieve your Japanese learning goals!

Mako’s explanations are clear, her deep knowledge of the language and culture, and her friendly teaching style adds a fun, novel aspect to her lessons.

I couldn’t recommend Mako more highly. She truly cares about her students’ progress and makes learning Japanese an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
