Portfolio
Below is an overview of my past and current work.
Founder and Manager of Kotoba&Beyond(Online Japanese Language School)
Since 2024-
I founded Kotoba&Beyond, an online Japanese language school. I manage the school and offer lessons to learners of all ages and backgrounds, including business owners, working professionals, and students. My students are primarily based in the United States, Europe, and Oceania, and study Japanese for a wide range of personal and professional purposes.

I also run an online English language school serving learners of all ages, including business professionals, employees, and students. My services are mainly provided to learners in Japan who are seeking to improve their English communication skills.
Japanese Language Instructor
Since 2020-
I teach Japanese for daily communication, business use, and proficiency examinations. To date, I have worked with more than 70 students from the United States, Europe, and various Asian countries.
My lessons emphasize natural, real-world Japanese rather than textbook-based expressions. I also provide comprehensive support for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).

Currently supporting students preparing for JLPT N1, N2, N4, and N5
