🌼I’m Sunny, your instructor. I graduated from Rikkyo University Graduate School, one of Tokyo’s six major universities. I have lived, studied, and worked in Japan for a total of 5 years and worked 11 years at a Japanese company, with 16 years of experience teaching Japanese.
🌼I developed a unique learning method called “From Vertical to Horizontal,” supporting over 1,000 beginners in their entry and level-up stages. Anyone can naturally acquire daily conversation listening and speaking skills.
🌼I am well-versed in local spoken language, expressions, business manners, and Japanese culture.
🌼I teach not only textbook knowledge but also practical Japanese that can be used in real life and work.
🌼This course is ideal for beginners, those who are shy about speaking in public, and those who have studied for a long time but still can’t use Japanese freely.
🌼I provide clear and careful explanations|breaking down grammar, correcting pronunciation, and thoroughly strengthening the basics.
🌼Customized lessons tailored to each individual|incorporating real Japanese situations to solve the “can read but can’t speak” problem. You will acquire Japanese you can understand, speak, and actually use.
🌸Six strengths of the course🌸
🍭1. Step-by-step instruction for beginners
Learn from the basics: the Japanese syllabary, mouth shapes for pronunciation, and basic particles at a relaxed pace that eases speaking anxiety.
🍭2. Simultaneous acquisition of listening and speaking, breaking away from silent reading Japanese
No need to memorize words and grammar mechanically. Practical conversation practice and listening training balance input and output, building confidence in speaking.
🍭3. Logical grammar explanations + detailed pronunciation correction
Not mechanical memorization, but clear breakdown of verb and adjective conjugation rules. Accent and intonation are corrected to polish natural Tokyo pronunciation.
🍭4. Immersive lessons in real-life situations
Covering everyday scenes like travel, shopping, dining, as well as workplace situations such as interviews at Japanese companies and business emails. You can immediately apply what you learn.
🍭5. Specialized JLPT N5 to N2 exam preparation
Covers all key points in the exam scope. Organizes frequently tested grammar and vocabulary, with past exam explanations and review of mistakes to efficiently boost your score.
🍭6. Fully customized one-on-one plans and materials
Study plans tailored to your goals, available time, and weak points maximize learning efficiency. For example, when choosing vocabulary examples for the syllabary, children focus on fruits and animals, while travel learners focus on restaurant, transportation, and shopping words.
