About Mai
Hi! My name is Mai. I'm a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo and currently live near Yokota Air Base in Japan.
I work in Talent Acquisition at a deep agritech company, where I recruit bilingual Japanese-English professionals across technical and business roles.
I spent four years at a recruiting agency, helping bilingual candidates build their careers in Japan. One of my strengths is interview coaching in both Japanese and English, helping candidates communicate their experience with confidence.
I graduated from Otemae University and completed a Japanese Language Teacher Training Program, earning my teaching qualification in 2026. I also studied Accounting at Leeward Community College in Hawaii.
Outside of recruiting, I enjoy teaching Japanese and learning about different cultures. I've lived in Australia, China, Macau, Egypt, and the United States (Hawaii, Arizona, and North Carolina), and I love meeting people from around the world.

English (Fluent)

By the way, does anyone know the Japanese rock band BAND-MAID? If not, definitely check them out—they're amazing!
I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you soon!
会えるのを楽しみにしています!!

Perfect! Lesson was fun and engaging. Mai was very friendly and made me feel comfortable.
Perfect! Mai did an excellent job introducing the course and material that would be covered.
Perfect! I have recently begun learning Japanese from Mai. She is an amazing, methodical teacher with a wonderful attention to detail. She works with me on my pronunciation by repetition, which is the way I like to learn. She is also friendly and polite. She presents material that is, without being way over my head, a bit of a challenge, which I like. She is very intuitive, in that she is able to assess my learning style and competency. I would recommend learning Japanese from Mai to anyone who wants to learn the language! I will hopefully be her student for a long time!
Perfect! She is super friendly and approachable tutor! I'm happy she was willing to meet with me in a public place to practice speaking Japanese. Very fast response time too! I highly recommend!
Perfect! She is a great tutor! She helped with little nuances and phrases, making them much easier to understand and say. Would recommend! 5/5

She is a professional in both languages and can adjust her speaking style to the needs of the students very well. I like the way she explains the reason behind sentence structure and word meaning instead of just teaching for memory. She could easily be charging more, but she’s got friendly prices for students.
