About Me
italki teacher since May 18, 2015
Unfortunately I’m not currently accepting any new students for the private lessons.
いっしょに 日本語(にほんご)を はなしましょう!
I am from Okayama, Japan but currently living in Belfast, UK. I have a bachelor degree of Education from Okayama University and worked as a primary school teacher in Japan. I also completed the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course by the Human Academy and I am fully qualified to teach Japanese as a foreign language.
When I moved to Belfast from Japan, I was not able to speak English and understand locals. After 14 years living here, (my English is not perfect), I can speak English with confidence - also with a bit of Belfast accent!
Me as a Teacher
I am fully confident that I can help you improve your Japanese, especially your speaking skill.
- Some of my students found jobs in Japan and are working in Japan. Their dream - working /living in Japan came true.
- Some of my students started to learn Japanese from the very beginning with me but now they can speak Japanese confidently.
- Some pf my students passed JLPTs after we prepared for the exams together.
Please read reviews from my students below!
Thank you!
My lessons & teaching style
-I don' think learning Japanese is easy. I don’t know where to start and how to study.
-I learned Japanese for years but I still can’t speak the language with confidence.
-I want to have conversation practice on various topics and learn by speaking.
Do these statements sound familiar? If so, I am here to help you.
In our professional lessons I will focus on your personalised needs with an emphasis on speaking. For reviewing grammar and speaking practice, I recommend “Japanese for Beginners” or “Japanese for Intermediates”. For more practical needs I recommend “Let’s Speak Japanese”.

I've had a bit of a break from Japanese, but as always Noriko-san gets more Japanese out of me than I expected. Some normal words were hard to remember, but Noriko-san is very good at creating an atmosphere where I don't feel stressed about talking and for me that's a huge thing for my language skills. I'm happy to continue my lessons and I know I will get so much better when I have lessons with Noriko-san! And they don't feel like studying, because I enjoy them :)
