Meet Your Teacher
I lived in Hong Kong for ten years and taught Japanese at a language school there for three of those years. Since returning to Japan, I have taught Japanese for another eight years.
I want to help students overcome language barriers and connect with people around the world. I’m always excited to meet new learners.
My goal is to make classes clear, enjoyable, and memorable so you can truly feel, “I can do it!”
I look forward to meeting you and sharing the joy of learning Japanese together.
Lessons I Teach:
Message from Hayashi Sensei
FlexLessons – 50-minute Zoom classes (up to 7 students)
▸ Low Intermediate Grammar (JLPT N3)
The concept of the lessons is “actively using the Japanese you’ve learned”. In flex lessons, I plan to satisfy each and every student. Let's create a place of learning together where you can see smiles from behind the screen.
▸ Intermediate Grammar (JLPT N2)
This class bridges the gap between N3 and N1. Take one more step forward and discover a whole new level of Japanese. I’m here to support your progress and help you reach the next stage. Join me in the classroom and let’s move forward together.
▸ Advanced Grammar (JLPT N1)
For those continuing with Japonin (JOI), the N1 class is here for you. Even if it seems challenging, give it a try. If kanji feels difficult, don’t worry. I provide furigana support as needed. At this level, you will learn to distinguish between formal written Japanese and natural spoken Japanese with confidence.
Private Lessons – 50-min Zoom classes
I teach students at all levels and plan lessons tailored to your goals and requests.
