      With 17+ years as a Japanese instructor, I specialize in JLPT, EJU prep, business Japanese, study/job preparation in Japan, and survival/travel Japanese. Hello! I'm Rie, a Japanese language instructor!
      From beginners to advanced learners, for travel, exam preparation, or business purposes, I offer "completely customized" lessons. Based on my extensive experience and proven track record as an instructor, I will provide you with the "most effective lesson" tailored specifically for you.

      Why choose Rie T.
      "Rie-sensei is always very prepared and organized for our lessons, and has an excellent sense of what I need to focus on to progress with my business Japanese. At the end of the lesson I don't feel tired, just energized to keep learning Japanese. She uses a mix of textbooks to build up vocabulary and grammar and role plays. Even learning keigo she can turn into a fun lesson! I have taken quite a few Japanese teachers lessons at Preply, but she is by far the best I've taken so far, with your first lesson you can tell how much experience she has. If you want a teacher you can truly make progress with, I recommend Rie-sensei."

    Yuki san is a teacher who gets genuinely happy when I achieve things while learning. She knows how to lead the class, so I don't become stuck in a topic. We study using the Genki book series, it makes life easy to self study the book when you want to learn a little more by your self. I definitely recommend her classes for anyone who are looking to learn Japanese.
