Boost your confidence of conversation with
Haruka Sensei
Hello! I’m Haruka. I currently live in Cyprus, enjoying the beautiful beaches and warm climate that I love. I’m originally from Osaka, and I’ve also lived on a small remote island in Okinawa.
I’m passionate about music and love playing the guitar. I also enjoy running, especially in nature. I speak English and am currently learning Spanish and Greek, so I understand both the joys and challenges of learning a new language. With this experience, I do my best to support my students with empathy and understanding. I love meeting people from all over the world and having meaningful conversations. Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together and grow through fun and engaging communication!

Teaching Style
1. I focus on conversation-based lessons where students can speak a lot. We practice not only daily conversation, but also expressing opinions and feelings. I provide feedback on natural expressions and pronunciation.
2. I offer personalized lessons according to each student’s level and goals (e.g., travel, work). I help students improve conversation, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
3. As a language learner myself, I understand how it feels to struggle with speaking. I create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where students feel safe to make mistakes and speak freely.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The course is great it's straight to the point. The nuances are clearly explained which is very important and very helpful because they don't really explain those in textbooks.
I'm in the midst of the course and it supplements other Japanese material that I am using to learn right now. I love that I can rewind, fast-forward and play the videos according to my learning pace. The PDF slides are handy and helpful in connecting speech to text. Highly recommended 🙂
This course is suitable for students who have completed an introductory level course. It will teach you why and when to use different levels of polite language (敬語). Even if you’re not particularly interested in learning highly native colloquial expressions, by the end of the course, you’ll understand why Japanese people use them and what they mean.
