Experienced, qualified teachers helping you improve through weekly corrections and feedback.
I believe that words have the power to stay close to people’s hearts and gently encourage them forward. I especially love pieces of writing that leave you with a quiet sense of warmth after reading it, which is why I often read works by Banana Yoshimoto and Maiko Seo.
In my own proofreading and feedback, I value not only correctness, but also “Japanese that truly reaches the reader” and “Japanese that stays in the heart.” Through your writing, I sincerely look forward to discovering each person’s thoughts and individuality.
言葉には、人の心に寄り添い、そっと背中を押してくれる力があると感じています。 読んだ後に心がじんわり温かくなるような文章が好きで、吉本ばななや瀬尾まいこなどの作品をよく読みます。
私の添削でも、正しさだけでなく「伝わる日本語」「心に残る日本語」を大切にしています。作文を通して、皆さんの一人ひとりの考えや個性に触れられることを、とても楽しみにしています。

I provide careful and personalized feedback tailored to each person’s level and goals. I try to understand the thoughts and feelings behind the words, and help express them in natural and appropriate Japanese. First, I encourage students to write freely, and then I provide thoughtful feedback afterward. In addition to correcting grammar and vocabulary mistakes, I also give concrete advice on how to make writing sound more natural and communicate more effectively. I explain clearly why certain expressions work better, so that students can gradually develop the ability to write confidently on their own.
“Writing is thinking. Thinking is learning to appreciate yourself.”
I hope to help make the time spent writing a meaningful and comfortable opportunity to reflect on oneself.
