Do all lessons follow the same format?+
No. The conversation and JLPT examples are two possible approaches, not a fixed plan. We adapt each lesson to your level, goals and preferred way of learning. We can also combine the approaches.
Can you help me prepare for the JLPT?+
Yes. We can study vocabulary, grammar, kanji, reading and listening skills, and review suitable practice questions together. We discuss your target level and what you need help with before planning lessons. This is independent study support, not an official JLPT course or a guaranteed pass.
Do we have to use a textbook?+
Not necessarily. Conversation lessons can grow naturally from your interests. For structured study or JLPT goals, we can use suitable learning materials and practice questions rather than relying on conversation alone.
What if I have no questions prepared?+
That is fine. I can help identify what to practise through conversation, grammar review or appropriate study exercises.
What do I receive afterwards?+
After each paid 60-minute lesson, I send personalised feedback notes on LINE, usually as a PDF. The length and content depend on what you studied, whether conversation or focused JLPT practice.
Do I need fluent English or Japanese?+
No. Lessons are taught mainly in English, but you only need to be comfortable with simple explanations. Japanese practice is adapted to your level, and we can discuss a starting point in the free trial.
How often can we meet?+
Once or twice a week is a suggested rhythm, with 60 minutes per paid lesson. We arrange times together on LINE, subject to availability.
Can I ask about Japanese outside lessons?+
Yes. Learning-related questions from everyday life, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or your study material are welcome. I reply when available, around lessons and other commitments; replies may not be immediate.
