Hi, everyone! I’m KAJI.

I’ve been teaching Japanese since 2017.

After working as a homeroom teacher at a Japanese language school for three and a half years, I started teaching online.

I’ve conducted over 1,400 lessons with students from all over the world.
 

Many of my students enjoy experiencing the “world of Japan” as if a theme park,

and I’ve enjoyed being their guide.

While learning a language through AI is one option, my students seem to find real joy

in speaking Japanese with a real person to express themselves.
 

Through teaching many students and raising my own children, I’ve realized that

people learn faster when they study what they enjoy rather than simply being taught.
 

That’s why I tailor my lessons to each student’s lifestyle, interests, and goals.

I also include Japanese culture, everyday habits, and ways of thinking in my lessons,

because understanding the culture is an essential part of learning the language.
 

Would you like to start your Japanese journey?
