STUDIO Sakakibara

Hello! I’m Tsuneko Sakakibara, a native Japanese speaker with a degree in education currently living in the United States.

After a career in the childcare industry, I realized I wanted to focus full time on sharing the Japanese language and culture with passionate students.

As someone familiar with both Japanese and American culture, I’m suited to share Japanese language and culture in an easy and digestible format with beginners and experienced students.

Japanese Tutoring

  • Listening is the foundation of my tutoring approach. From your very first session, we’ll work together to understand your needs to help you accelerate your Japanese practice and reach the next level.

My Approach

  • Individual Assessment

    We will discuss where you are in your Japanese journey and identify how I can best assist you.

  • Personalized Learning

    After learning more about you, I will develop personalized lesson plans based on mutually agreed areas of improvement.

  • Easy Conversation

    We will reinforce your learning through fun conversations and exercises. Japanese should be fun!
