自己紹介

I first moved to Japan in 1995 and spent over 18 years living and working there. During that time I developed a deep understanding of the language and culture — from everyday conversation to the nuances of formal and business Japanese.

Since 2015 I've worked as a professional Japanese–English translator, and I passed the JLPT N1 (the highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test) in 2008. I bring all of that experience to my lessons, whether you're a complete beginner or preparing for an exam.
