I was born in Osaka, Japan and lived there until I was 26 years old. I taught conversational English to Japanese children aged between 2 and 13 for six years while I lived in Japan. My American husband and I owned an English conversation school in Japan. After moving to the United States, I homeschooled my children. I have been teaching conversational Japanese for over 8 years now. My teaching methods are not limited to using text books alone. I use flash cards, games and even songs whe...

My tutoring sessions with Harumi have been wonderful. I?ve been going about two months now and I feel like I?ve learned so much already! We?ve covered things like vocabulary words, asking questions, Japanese culture, Katakana, and adjective sentence structure so far. I highly recommend and can?t wait to learn more!

Harumi is the best Japanese teacher I've had! She is so good at explaining when I have questions. She teaches at my pace and makes sure I understand concepts before moving on. I always feel very comfortable talking to her.

My daughter felt comfortable with Harumi immediately, as she is very sweet and engaging. Harumi had my very shy daughter speaking Japanese right away. After her lesson she was very excited and even more inspired to learn a new language.

About a year ago my 8 year old daughter asked about learning Japanese because of her interest in kawaii and anime. We have always wanted her to learn a second language, so we decided to find a tutor. We were lucky to find Harumi. The lessons never get boring for my daughter because Harumi has so many fun learning games to play with her. It's amazing to see how much Japanese she is learning while having fun the whole time. Thanks, Harumi!

Harumi is a wonderful tutor. I truly enjoy working with her. She keeps me motivated and inspired. She goes at a good pace and always makes sure you understand the material before moving on. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a Japanese tutor!

Harumi is very prompt, kind, and informative in her teachings. She was patient with us when we hadn't practiced or when we forgot words she may have just taught us. We learned about Japanese culture from Harumi to help us in our upcoming trip and would recommend Harumi for Japanese tutoring.

I've only had the first lesson, but it seems like we are a good match. I'm coming back to studying Japanese after a long hiatus, and want to focus on casual conversation and building confidence. Harumi-sensei seems to understand and is willing to be flexible with the lesson structure in order to better suit my goals. I'm looking forward to working with her.

Harumi is an amazing tutor who can stick with your speed no matter how fast or slow you are; as a student who can learn quickly on some days and slowly on others, Harumi can stay at your pace. Her teaching style is also amazing, making sure you learn everything as efficiently as you can.
- Henry H. from Aurora, CO
Harumi is very good at tailoring lessons to skill levels, and is very easy to work with. My langauage skills are markedly better after just a few lessons. She is also very accommodating in terms of scheduling as well.
- Bill F. from Harrisonville, MO
What I liked about Harumi's tutoring is that she understood the level of Japanese I was at. She also helped me when I needed it, but at the same time, she didn't give me all the answers, which was really great. I memorized much more from this session then studying by myself. Thank you!
- Janice S. from Golden, CO
My daughter was so nervous but at the end of the session she was so excited and said the lesson was really fun.
- Carine C. from Evergreen, CO
How to make a statement and how to ask a question. How to introduce yourself and how to introduce someone else. How to say yes and no. She taught a few vocabulary words. A lot was learned in the lesson. I would definitely recommend this tutor.
- Alexis C. from Hutchinson, KS
Harumi is an excellent tutor, punctual, a great communicator, and uses creative materials. Harumi is kid friend and is always well prepared.
