About Me
italki teacher since Apr 20, 2021
Hi everyone, I'm Mayumi.
I've been teaching Japanese for the past 8 years in Melbourne, Australia.
I worked as an Executive Assistant at one of the biggest gaming companies in Tokyo Japan for 8 years before coming to Melbourne. So I have excellent Japanese Business Skills such as Business manners, Business Japanese and Honorific Japanese.
I am relaxed and very easy-going. In my spare time I like being in nature. I also like to explore town to discover delicious food. And Love baking sourdough, this is one of the skills that I have developed during a long lockdown in Melbourne 2020!
Me as a Teacher
I have the ability to teach a wide range of Japanese skill sets (Click my classes for more details). I also have a career as an instructor for Japanese Teacher Training Course.
I always take some time listening and making sure I understand students' needs and evaluate what is important to them first. And then I adjust to what they want to learn.
I simply love teaching Japanese and meeting new people from various backgrounds and helping them achieve their language goals. I also like creating a fun class that is stress free and easy to understand for students as it helps encourage your participation, and I believe that is the best and quickest way for you to improve your language skills!
My lessons & teaching style
I will speak clearly, provide sufficient visual materials (especially for Beginners), and corrections will be provided through oral practise to help improve your speaking skill. At the end of every lesson you’ll find you've mastered something you can use to express yourself.
My teaching style is primarily in Japanese only, which I adapt to your skill and vocabulary level. However, English explanation is also available if needed.

May is a very easy going and kind person. Her teaching style is really good and flexible, so it can suit everyone.
Her English is very good, and she is willing to code-switch back and forth in order to explain things.
I highly recommend her.
おすすめです!

I just finished my trial lesson with May and I really enjoyed it! She was very nice and kind and I am really looking forward to continuing lessons together. My friend recommended I take lessons with May and I would also recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor. Looking forward to learning together~

I loved May's energy and the way she approaches each individual student. She asked me about my needs and how I prefer to learn, offering a unique customized experience per student. She also speaks great English and is super motivating whenever I made a mistake. I value how happy and excited she is to teach and I look forward to continuing to book with her. ありがとうございます
