Hi, I'm Mari!
You may know me from Instagram. I was born and raised in the heart of Osaka, Japan, and I live in Hong Kong now. Before moving here, I taught English at public high schools in Japan for several years. My undergraduate degree is in education, and I have a master's in applied linguistics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (ranked as the 18th best university in the world by QS in 2027 - not too shabby!). My life now is focused on teaching Japanese learners from around the world. Come study with me!

I started learning English at 13 in a local middle school just like most students. I understand both the challenges of learning a language and what it takes to make real progress.

Teaching backed by linguistics
Applied Linguistics is the science of language acquisition. The material I use and the pedagogy I employ are 100% backed by research.

I love teaching, and I’m constantly honing my explanations. For me, it's important to understand not just what to say in Japanese, but why.
