About Kana

Hello! I'm a native Japanese speaker, born and raised in Japan, now living in Canada. As a teacher, my goal is not only to help you learn Japanese but also to share Japanese culture and real-life experiences of Japan, while creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. I always take care to support each student personally and thoughtfully.

・Continuing to learn English and French, which helps me understand both the joys and challenges of language study.

・Worked in event planning and administrative roles at a city hall in Japan, and at a local company in Canada.

・Volunteered at a tourist information center for international visitors in Japan.

・Participated in Japanese cultural events in Canada to introduce Japanese traditions, such as origami.

・Enjoys traveling, riding various types of transportation, and planning travel itineraries.

・Passionate about making traditional Japanese fermented seasonings like miso, the foundation of Japanese cuisine, and sharing the process with others.

I love encouraging people to pursue their dreams and supporting them in achieving their goals. Tell me what you hope to accomplish with Japanese, and I'll do my best to help you every step of the way!

About the lesson

My lessons are friendly, interactive, and especially welcoming for beginners. Here’s what you can expect:

・Use of the "Genki" textbook alongside fun and easy-to-understand original materials with lots of illustrations and photos.

・A focus on practical conversation and systematic grammar instruction.

・Lessons conducted mainly in Japanese, with support in English or French when needed.

・A calm and encouraging atmosphere, tailored to each student's pace and personality.

・Introduction of Japanese culture and everyday topics, so you can naturally learn how the language is used in real life.

■Lesson structure example (50 minutes):
15 min – Review & Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji practice
30 min – Grammar + Speaking
5 min – Summary

■What students say
“Very easy to understand and follow.”
“Relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.”
“Love the cultural insights and real-life examples.”
“Cute and helpful original materials.”
“I feel more confident with each lesson.”
“Supportive, warm, and encouraging teacher.”

Jérémi

Perfect! My first lesson with Kana was amazing ! Can’t wait for the next one.

Kana's response
Jérémi became more motivated to learn Japanese after his trip to Japan. During the trial lesson, he actively used the Japanese he already knows, which clearly shows his strong motivation and positive attitude toward learning. Having watched Japanese anime for many years, he is very familiar with the sounds of the language and already has a solid foundation in listening. He is a promising learner, and I look forward to supporting his continued progress!

Will has been studying Japanese on his own, and his knowledge of kanji (one of the toughest parts for learners) really shows his enthusiasm for the language. He has a clear goal for taking lessons and is motivated to focus on improving his speaking and listening skills, as well as building his ability to read and understand longer texts. I’m looking forward to seeing his progress!

I know Kana as both a fellow Japanese teacher and a friend.

I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese in a supportive and friendly environment.

What I really appreciate about her teaching is how much she truly cares about each learner. She takes the time to understand each student and thinks carefully about what they need. Her way of teaching helps students improve step by step in a natural and comfortable way.

We’ve had many conversations about teaching, especially when I needed help or fresh ideas. Kana sensei always listens with care and gives thoughtful, kind advice, which I truly appreciate.

She is also a wonderful friend—kind, honest, sincere, and full of humor. I always enjoy spending time with her.

Studying with her is not only about learning a language, but also about enriching your daily life.
