About Mafu
Hi there!
My name is Mafu, and I'm a native Japanese speaker from Osaka, Japan!
I was born and raised in Osaka and lived there for 25 years before moving to Canada, where I've been living for the past six years. My main profession is as a pastry chef, but teaching has always been one of my passions.
In Japan, I taught pastry making to both university and college students. Through that experience, I learned how to explain things clearly, answer questions patiently, and teach from the student's perspective. I believe learning is much easier when lessons are adapted to each person's goals and learning style, so I'll prepare materials that fit your individual needs.
Whether you're:
* Planning a trip to Japan
* Looking for a teacher for your child
* Hoping to become fluent in Japanese
* Interested in Japanese culture, anime, or manga
* Or simply want someone friendly to practice speaking with
I'd love to help you on your Japanese learning journey!
Since I'm from Osaka, I can also teach you the Kansai dialect (Osaka-ben) and share fun conversations about Japanese culture, anime, and everyday life.
Besides teaching Japanese, I have over **8 years of experience as a pastry chef** and studied **art for 3 years**. If you're interested in learning about Japanese desserts, Western-style pastries, or even illustration and drawing as a hobby, I'd be happy to share my knowledge with you as well!
I always try to create a relaxed, patient, and enjoyable learning environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions.
I look forward to meeting you soon!

She is a thoughtful, cheerful, and friendly Japanese tutor. She is also fluent in English, so communication is very easy even if you are new to Japanese. She takes the time to understand your goals and level first, then creates a personalized curriculum that fits your needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese!
Mafu is a talented teacher that really helped me to level-up my Japanese. She helped me break out of the simple scripts that apps like Duo focus on, so I can have real conversations and progress beyond the basics. I appreciate her patience and encouragement to keep pushing to more advanced sentence structures. Highly recommended!
She is really thoughtful and friendly also passionate about teaching people! I highly recommend her!!!
