Style

I learned a foreign language myself by talking and communicating with many different people. I want to use that experience to create bright, welcoming lessons where you can speak Japanese freely without worrying about making mistakes.
I’ll adjust each lesson to your pace and create a comfortable space where you can feel, “Speaking Japanese is fun!”

About Me

Hi! My name is Carmen. I’m a bilingual Japanese-English speaker from Okinawa, currently living in Canada.

My hobbies include traveling, jet ski touring, scuba diving, and body sculpting.

I love meeting new people and having conversations, so let’s talk about your hobbies, life experiences, and any topics you’re interested in!

What My Student Say

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Tsuki for several years. All this time, she has kept me motivated. I really appreciate her patience, encouragement, and rigorous teaching style. She is always well prepared for class and knows how to convey her knowledge effectively. I am a foreign language teacher myself, so I know how to recognize a competent teacher. It's a pleasure to attend her classes.

Tsuki-san is a very patient and detail-oriented instructor. I had the pleasure of taking a few months of Japanese lessons with her, and her instruction on hiragana and katakana, as well as sentence structure and important words and phrases, were a huge help when I vacationed in Okinawa, Japan. The way she focuses on building a solid foundation and a clear understanding of the basics makes learning Japanese much more approachable.

Tsuki is an excellent instructor - patient, clear, and with well thought-out lessons. Highly recommended!
