Who Am I

Hi! I’m Masaoki, a certified Japanese teacher.

Teaching is not just my job. It’s something I truly care about. I really enjoy teaching Japanese and sharing my culture with people from all over the world.

It always makes me happy when my students say things like, “I really enjoy your lessons!” or “I’ve become much better at Japanese thanks to your help!”

・Japanese (Native)
・English (Fluent)
・Mandarin Chinese (Intermediate)

Certification

Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test

Teaching Experience

12 years of experience. I’ve taught Japanese in various settings, including language schools, companies, cultural associations, and private tutoring.
