Japanese tutor at the University of Liverpool with 12 years’ teaching experience in Asia—including Japan, Macau, and Shanghai—and the UK. My culturally rich, interactive lessons are praised by student

Very nice and patient teacher. May know exactly which path is needed for her students.

May provides Japanese lessons for my two school-aged children. She fully customizes the lessons to their needs, and thinks carefully about how to encourage their learning.
My kids always leave the lesson feeling more excited about using Japanese. She is a real professional, as well as being a kind person!

I wholeheartedly recommend May as an exceptional educator. As an active university lecturer, she brings rigorous academic standards to her teaching, but what truly sets her apart is her dedication to her students' real-world progress.

May never puts a course on autopilot. Even for subjects she has taught year after year, she meticulously reviews and upgrades every single session, drawing directly on previous student feedback and classroom outcomes to ensure the material remains fresh and effective. She takes the time to understand her students' backgrounds and learning goals, thoughtfully tailoring materials to meet their specific needs.

Rather than relying on passive lectures, May excels at designing purposeful, interactive activities. These hands-on sessions do more than keep a class engaged—they anchor complex concepts in memory and give students an immediate, practical way to test their understanding and see measurable results.

Learning with May means knowing that every lesson has been carefully built around your success. I recommend her without reservation.

May is a fantastic Japanese tutor, she is very friendly and each lesson is enjoyable and productive. Every lesson is planned based on my own progress and May always encourages me to converse with her in Japanese so I can improve my speaking and reading abilities along with my pronunciations. May also includes a lot of Japanese culture into the lessons which is very interesting to learn about. I would definitely recommend May to anyone who wants to learn and improve their Japanese.
