About Japanese tutor & ESL tutoring for Japanese people
Hi everyone! My name is Miku. I was born and raised in Japan. I graduated from Dokkyo University in Saitama, Japan, where I majored in Hospitality and Tourism. I worked as a flight attendant for ANA (All Nippon Airways) in Tokyo until 2016, when I moved to Hawaii. I am now a flight attendant with American Airlines. During university, I also took classes to become a teacher, and I’ve been teaching Japanese for almost 10 years. In my lessons, I can help you with: • Conversation skills • Correct pronunciation • Proper grammar I usually use the textbook Genki as a foundation. I provide the materials, so you don’t need to buy anything. With Genki, we’ll practice grammar points, build vocabulary, role-play real-life situations, refine pronunciation, and do plenty of exercises to improve both listening and speaking skills. I strive to keep my classes relaxed and supportive, so you’ll feel comfortable speaking and learning at your own pace. 📍 Lesson Format: Online only (FaceTime) — no in-person lessons. 📚 Materials: Provided by me. 💵 Trial Lesson: First 1-hour lesson is $30. Group lessons are also available. Cancellation Policy • 50% charge for cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson time. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your Japanese learning journey!

miku is the perfect teacher. she is patient and helps walk you through anything youre confused about. i had some experience with japanese before starting lessons, although it wasnt much and i was rusty, miku was able to explain it and get me back up to speed. shes always able to give me the perfect answer to any questions i may have she is punctual and always on time, and always makes sure to let me know about her availability for our next lesson! shes super professional, and also kind :) you can tell she really wants to help you succeed and accomplish your goals. she knows what i need to work on and we establish a plan on how to get it done. i look forward to all of our lessons and i feel accomplished after every single lesson.
Miku is a *fantastic* Japanese teacher. She structures lessons thoughtfully, communicates clearly, pays high attention to detail, and is patient. I had no previous exposure to Japanese language instruction and could see tangible progress after a month working with Miku. Japanese is a difficult language for native English speakers but is very rewarding if you put in the effort. I highly recommend Miku to anyone who is eager to try.
Miku-San is a
After the first lesson, I am excited as Miku San has built a good plan to work towards.
The 5 stars are definitely not for clout, she is a exceptional teacher. Miku san teaching style is a combination of experience, knowledge, patience and understanding. I’ve learned more than I would in a group as she gives the attention needed for you to grasp what’s being taught.
Lessons are sometimes cancelled without notice. Scheduling sometimes occurs at the last minute -- the day of or day before. It's strange because the instructor was, initially, very punctual.
Miku Oka-San is one of the best Japanese language teachers and I feel so fortunate to have found her . She is really patient and flexible and makes learning so much fun. I also take her guidance before my important meetings with Japanese customers and she is always available to help… thank you Miku-San for being such a wonderful person and teacher..
Miku is a great teacher to work with! I've been doing weekly lessons with Miku remotely since December of 2019 (now July 2020 as I'm writing this) starting from no experience. I was worried about my ability to learn a new language since my only experience prior to this was learning Spanish in school years ago, but learning to read and speak Japanese with Miku's guidance has been the right level of challenging, and fun. Miku is a great communicator, flexible, really knowledgeable, adds nuance to the lessons we move through, and also really just fun to talk to and learn from.
I look forward to Japanese with Miku each week. Her teaching is very clear and the text book we use is a great resource for me to follow along with. She keeps things simple which is a big help since we are meeting virtually.
