Hi, it’s Risa!
During my two years in Canada starting in 2021, I was lucky to meet many amazing friends who were curious about Japan and its culture. Their enthusiasm inspired me to think about how I could support their learning journey—and that’s what led me to this career path.
Soon after passing the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2023, I started working at a Japanese language school in Melbourne. For a year, I had the chance to teach more than 400 students, from complete beginners to advanced learners.
It was always a joy to see students grow in confidence and get more excited about learning Japanese. Their smiles and progress gave me so much motivation and reminded me why I love teaching.
As a tutor, I’m passionate about helping students connect with the Japanese language and culture in a way that’s meaningful to them. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, or personal interest, I’m here to support your journey every step of the way.
