Information About Haruka - Highgate teacher

Personal Description:

Hello! こんにちは!

I’m a Japanese tutor at a language school in Central London. I have experience teaching Japanese from beginner to upper-intermedia**Contact Detail Removed**vels, as well as introducing students to Japanese culture.

With experience working abroad and traveling to over 40 countries, I’ve come to realize that learning a new language is a key step in connecting with locals and truly understanding a culture. That’s why I adopt a communicative approach, focusing on real-life conversations, cultural nuances, and practical language application. Most importantly, I believe that learning should be enjoyable and engaging!

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching Japanese since 2021 and began teaching in London in 2024. Throughout my career, I have taught students from a wide range of backgrounds, including British, American, European, and Asian learners. I have worked with students of all levels, from complete beginners to fluent speakers, and have experience teaching both teenagers and adults.
　My lessons are ideal for:
・Those who want to familiarize themselves with Japanese before traveling or going on a business trip.
・Students preparing for all levels of the JLPT exam (N5–N1), using a variety of original materials tailored to their needs.
・Learners who already have some understanding of Japanese but want to improve further, particularly in speaking.
・Professionals looking to enhance their Japanese skills for work in Japan.

I strive to create engaging and practical lessons that help students achieve their goals while making the learning process enjoyable.

Teaching Approach:

I customize my lessons to match each student’s learning goals and proficiency level, ensuring that the content is both engaging and effective. My approach blends structure with flexibility, using original textbooks and customized teaching materials to meet individual needs. While developing vocabulary and grammar is important, I prioritize speaking practice, incorporating topics that reflect students’ personal interests to make learning both practical and enjoyable.

Whether you're learning Japanese for travel, business, or personal enrichment, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s embark on this wonderful language-learning journey together and keep growing step by step!
