About Me

Hi, I'm Kazu.

I'm a native Japanese speaker, and I support learners online, one lesson at a time.

Background

  1. Graduated from Kyoto University
  2. Worked in finance and global consulting
  3. Became independent
  4. Now teaching Japanese and supporting learners

Why I Started

I kept hearing the same things from learners: "I study, but I still can't speak." "I don't know what I should be studying." "I can't keep the habit going on my own."

That's why I started this service — to support speaking, learning, and consistency together, built around each person's own goals and challenges.

Through conversation lessons, coaching, and writing support, my goal isn't just to add to what you already know. It's to help you actually use Japanese and feel real progress along the way.

Studying with a structured learning plan Service 02

Coaching

From building your study plan to tracking your progress, I'll be with you every step of the way. Whether your goal is passing JLPT N3 in three months or holding a basic conversation before you study abroad, I'll build a plan around it and help you stay motivated and consistent.

Who It's For

  • You've been studying on your own and feel stuck
  • You have a clear goal — JLPT, studying abroad, a new job
  • You have trouble sticking with it on your own

What's Included

  • Weekly & Monthly Goals — Clear targets and to-dos, set week by week and month by month
  • Progress Tracking — A shared tracking sheet so you can see exactly how close you are to your goal
  • Regular 1-on-1 Check-ins — Regular calls to review your progress and adjust your approach together
  • Questions & Learning Support — Ask about grammar, vocabulary, or how to study, whenever it comes up
  • 1-on-1 Japanese Conversation Lessons — Premium Only — Live conversation practice to actually use what you're learning

Writing correction in progress Service 03

Writing Correction

Careful corrections for journal entries, essays, emails, and JLPT writing tasks. Writing regularly is one of the fastest ways to turn what's in your head into Japanese you can actually use, and it strengthens your grammar, expression, and overall sense of natural Japanese.

Who It's For

  • You want to build your Japanese through writing practice
  • You want to write accurately and naturally
  • You're preparing for JLPT, EJU, or another writing exam
  • You want to learn how to write proper business emails

What's Included

  • Writing Assignment Every Other Day — Submit a short piece on a given topic every two days, via Discord
  • Detailed Writing Corrections — Feedback on your grammar, vocabulary, and structure
  • Natural Japanese Suggestions — Rewrites that show how a native speaker would actually say it
  • Japanese Q&A Support — Ask about grammar or vocabulary anytime
