I have always loved Japan and the depth and richness of its culture, and I am excited to share these experiences with the Kirkland community through language and cultural learning.

I am a certified teacher from Japan with seven years of experience as an elementary school teacher, and I also hold teaching licenses for Japanese language education at the junior high and high school levels.

Since moving to the United States in 2018, I have been teaching Japanese to children in a warm and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, confident, and motivated to learn. I believe that language learning should be joyful, meaningful, and engaging—especially for young learners.

In my classes, I respect each child’s pace and interests while creating lessons that blend language learning with Japanese culture, including songs, stories, seasonal traditions, and hands-on activities. I look forward to learning, experiencing, and growing together with you.
